I live in the midwest and have this weird fear of tornadoes. My aunt died in one. I have to check the weather every night before I go to bed during tornado season. What will the weather be like before a tornado? Please help me!
OK, we all understand from grade school how tornadoes form from colliding air masses.
But once a tornado starts and drops below the tempest, why don’t the rotating air molecules simply disperse due to the tremendous centrifugal forces?
What force is diverting a tornodo’s 100+ MPH air molecules into a circular motion?
Hey I am doing a speech for school about tornadoes. I was could not find this answer anywhere however so I am going to ask you guys. I want to know what things affect how long a tornado stays on the ground. Thank you for your answers.
is there a web site were i can look at the historical home insurance claims statistics? each state has it's regular events: midwest states: tornadoes / giant hail storms, east coast: flooding / hurricanes, west coast mud slides / volcano eruptions / earth quakes / flooding, northern states flooding / ice storms. i wanted to just sit down and look at the country as a whole and get an idea what happens on a regular basis in different areas of the country. i call it advanced geography. knowing names of cities and states is nice but not that useful unless you get a feel for the area and know what kind of weather people who live there are used to or expect.
If you know of the significance of the year 2012 then you know where I am going with this. There has been strange weather, typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. Famine as always and war. Jupiter now has THREE red spots. There are more sun spots than ever. Do you think the most recent major earthquake in China and its after-shocks are a precursor, the first symptom, of the major earth-changing events predicted for 2012?
