What to do in a tornado when you are at a hotel?

Posted by admin on May 3, 2012

I am in the 14th floor of a hotel in a city. There is currently a Tornado Watch, what do I do if there is a warning?

Run downstairs. Get in a hallway away from any windows. Sit down and cover your head with a pillow. There should be a map that tells you what to do or you can call the desk.

Deadly Season: Analysis of the 2011 Tornado Outbreaks

Posted by admin on May 2, 2012

tornado
Product Description

 

In 2011, despite continued developments in forecasting, tracking, and warning technology, the United States was hit by the deadliest tornado season in decades. More than 1,200 tornadoes touched down, shattering communities and their safety nets, and killing more than 500 people—a death toll unmatched since 1953.
Drawing on the unique analysis described in their first book, Economic and Societal Impacts of Tornadoes, economists Kevin M. Simmons and Daniel Sutter here examine the factors that contributed to the outcomes of such Tornadoes as the mid-April outbreak that devastated communities in North Carolina, the “Super Outbreak” across the southern and eastern United States in late April, and the single, mile-wide funnel that touched down in Joplin, Missouri, in late May. In the course of their study the authors identify patterns and anomalies, and reconsider previous assertions about the effectiveness of the Doppler radar and storm warning systems. Their conclusions, as well their assessment of early recovery efforts, are aimed at helping community leaders and policy-makers keep vulnerable populations safer in the future.

What causes the cyclonic spin in a tornado?

Posted by admin on May 2, 2012

I’m trying to figure out what makes the wind of a tornado create a spinning funnel.

Currently, there are two seperate ways a tornado is formed. Supercell thunderstorms will often have storm scale rotation which is called mesocyclone. It is known that there is air underneath the storm that is rotating horizontally. When the updraft of the storm strengthens, with the help of inflow winds, the horizontal rotating air can be tilted into the vertical. If the rotation is strong enough, a lowering from the base of the storm cloud can form and make a wall cloud. Sometimes, the wall cloud can be rotating as well.If the updraft, downdraft, and rear flank downdraft are present, this can strengthen the rotation and can create a funnel cloud. If the rotation remains strong and eventually reaches the ground, then a Tornado has formed.

A non-supercell tornado does not form from organized storm scale rotation. They form from a vertically rotating air that is already occurring near the ground. This is caused by wind shear from a warm, cold, or sea breeze front, or a dryline. When an updraft moves over the rotating air and stretches it, a tornado can form.
