They are also capable of driving straws into trees which is very dangerous to the environment. Areas affected by tornadoes can be in excess of one mile to 50 miles long. On average, there are over a…

Just asleep, with their calls the lifeless body groaned. His hands moved and felt around trying to figure out just where he was. With caution he opened his eyes and golden daggers…

Tri-State tornado. A tornados' strength can be measured with the Fujita Scale. What is a tornado? A tornado is a violent spinning column of air extended from the ground up to the cloud in the sky. They are capable of causing massive destruction with winds up to 300 mph. Tornadoes can be also called Twisters. Common tornadoes tend to have speeds less than 100 mph. However, extreme tornadoes can reach 300 mph and they can travel over 100 miles. The U.S. is considered the country with higher…

The sub Saharan desert winds provide the second ingredient blowing westward across the Atlantic. These warm winds pass over the water’s surface causing evaporation creating water vapor that rises and cools creating cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds are just the beginning. Western Meteorologist have divided the development…
