Tornadoes
The
land in the central United States is the best breeding ground for the storms
which produce tornadoes. The land in the Great Plains is relatively flat,
which allows cold dry polar air from Canada to meet warm moist tropical
air from the Gulf of Mexico. It's along the front between the two airmasses
that most tornadoes form.
Most
tornadoes in the United States form in an area called "Tornado Alley".
This area includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Storm
chasers travel to this area because of the high concentration of tornadoes.
These tornadoes are formed by thunderstorms. Some of the tornadoes in the
southern states such as Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia are caused
by hurricanes.

Densely
populated South Florida, especially Broward and Miami-Dade counties, was
spared the worst. Broward County reported scattered power outages and downed
trees, but for most residents, the storm was less destructive and unnerving
than past hurricanes had been in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Palm
Beach County was not so fortunate: More than two-thirds of its Florida
Power & Light Co. customers were left in the dark and more than 12,000
people sought refuge in 16 shelters, including 700 who remained at four
county shelters as late as Sunday.
In
Brevard County, firefighters canvassed neighborhoods with his volunteers,
a scene echoed in every community in the hurricanes wake.

Tornadoes
are one of nature's most violent storms. In an average year, about 1,000
tornadoes are reported across the United States, resulting in 80 deaths
and over 1,500 injuries. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air
extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. The most violent tornadoes
are capable of tremendous destruction with wind speeds of 250 mph or more.
Damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long.
Tornadoes
come in all shapes and sizes and can occur anywhere in the U.S. at any
time of the year. In the southern states, peak tornado season is March
through May, while peak months in the northern states are during the summer.

When is Hurricane Season?
June 1 - November 30
What Is A Hurricane?
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone, which generally
forms in the tropics and is accompanied by thunderstorms and a counterclockwise
circulation of winds. Tropical cyclones are classified as follows:
TROPICAL DEPRESSION
An organized system of clouds and thunderstorms
with a defined surface circulation and maximum sustained winds* of 38 mph
or less
TROPICAL STORM
An organized system of strong thunderstorms
with a defined surface circulation and maximum sustained winds of 39-73
mph
HURRICANE
An intense tropical weather system of strong
thunderstorms with a well-defined surface circulation and maximum sustained
winds of 74 mph or higher
What Are The Hurricane Hazards?
STORM SURGE - is water that is pushed toward
the shore by the force of the winds swirling around the storm. This advancing
surge combines with the normal tides to create the hurricane storm tide,
which can increase the mean water level 15 feet or more.
INLAND FLOODING - In the last 30 years, inland
flooding has been responsible for more than half the deaths associated
with tropical cyclones in the United States.
HIGH WINDS - Hurricane-force winds can destroy
poorly constructed buildings and mobile homes. Debris such as signs, roofing
material, and small items left outside become flying missiles in hurricanes.
TORNADOES - Hurricanes can produce tornadoes
that add to the storm's destructive power. Tornadoes are most likely to
occur in the right-front quadrant of the hurricane.
A section of the Great Plains in the central
part of the United States is called "Tornado Alley". This is because more
tornadoes form here than any other part of the country. The plains are
flat which allows cold polar air from Canada to meet warm tropical air
from the Gulf of Mexico.
Storm chasers go Tornado Alley looking for
tornadoes because there are so many that form there.
Tornado alley
Tornadoes have hit al fifty states of
the United States, but the 30-year average number of tornadoes per year
in Alaska is closer to zero than to one. In Oklahoma though the average
jumps to 52. Although no state is immune for tornadoes, there is an area
that suffers from more tornadoes than any other. This area is called Tornado
Alley. It is stretched out from West-Texas to North-Dakota. That is 1600
kilometres from north to south and 950 kilometres from east to west. Because
it is not an official area the areas that are counted for can vary. What
is certain is that large pieces of Texas, Kansas and Nebraska are a part
of it. These areas suffer from more tornadoes than any other state in the
United States.
