TORNADO Each year, about a thousand tornados touch down in the United States, far more than other countries5-. Nebraska, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas make up tornado alley. Where tornadoes strike regularly in the spring and early summer. Usually a tornado starts of as a white or gray cloud but if it stays around for a while, the dirty and debris is sucked up eventually it turns into a black one. In 1931 a tornado in Mississippi lifted an 83 ton train and tossed it 80n feet from the track. The united states have an average of 800 tornadoes every year. Various types of tornadoes include the land spout , multiple vortex tornado, and waterspout. Waterspouts are characterized by a spiraling funnel-shaped wind current, connecting to a large cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud. They are generally classified as non-super cellular tornadoes that develop over bodies of water, but there is disagreement over whether to classify them as true tornadoes. These spiraling columns of air frequently develop in tropical areas close to the equator, and are less common at high latitudes. Other tornado-like phenomena that exist in nature include the gustnado, dust devil, fire whirls, and steam devil. There are several scales for rating the strength of tornadoes. The Fujita scale rates tornadoes by damage caused and have been replaced in some countries by the updated Enhanced Fujita Scale. An F0 or EF0 tornado, the weakest category, damages trees, but not substantial structures. An F5 or EF5 tornado, the strongest category, rips buildings off their foundations and can deform large skyscrapers. The similar TORRO scale ranges from a T0 for extremely weak tornadoes to T11 for the most powerful known tornadoes. Doppler radar data, photogrammetry, and ground swirl patterns may also be analyzed to determine intensity and assign a rating. A tornado is "a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud,

    The Hazard Mitigation Plan for Douglas County, Minnesota lists tornadoes as being the highest risk for a disaster in the county (Douglas County, 2015). According to the Tornado History Project, the largest tornado in the Douglas County area was an F4 in 2010 that caused 5 injuries and 1 death (n.d.). Tornadoes have the potential to create widespread damage and destruction as well as physical injuries and death as a result of high winds, flying debris, and compromised infrastructure. The Fujita Damage Scale rates tornadoes based upon the damage that is caused and they range from a F0 which causes light damage such as branches and damaged signs to a F5 which can destroy large buildings (Fujita, n.d.). In 2015, Douglas County had seven tornados, three were classified as F1 and four were classified as F0 (Tornado Information, n.d.). The…

    Tornadoes are measured by the Fujita scale- a system which assigns levels of destructive power based on post-storm assessments. This scale runs from an F-0 storm which causes little to no measurable damage all the way to an F-5 which can completely eliminate all structures in its path. Most tornadoes are in the F-1 to F-3 range, but these measurements are generally assessed AFTER the event. Estimating the power of a tornado while it is occurring can be very…

    What is a Poison Dart Frog, you might ask? You can find these small creatures in the rainforest of South America and some parts of lower Central America. The Poison Dart Frog ranges from less than an inch to two and half inches in body length. There are more than a hundred species of poison dart frogs. They range in color and patterns, color shades vary among frogs within a species. It is the skin that contains the frogs poison, the variety of colors are warnings to predators that the frogs are poisonous. Their diet contains mainly termites, crickets, flies and ants. In captivity they are fed small crickets daily. The male frog goes through a ritual to attract a female mate. They do this vocalizing a loud trill sound Once the ritual is complete, the female lays dozens of eggs on leaves. The eggs are encased in substance for protection against decay. During the first week, the male returns to the eggs to check on them. Once the tadpoles have hatched, they swim onto the males back and are attached by a mucus, which keeps them from falling off. The male carries them to a place where they development is best fit, such as wet holes in broken trees and branches, and little ponds. Once the tadpoles are on their own, they need additional three months to metamorphose into small frogs. They usually live more than ten years in captivity. Poison dart frogs are very territorial towards other frogs. They call to others of their species when defending their territory. The males will fight up to 30 minutes. A species that is very close the poison frog is the Panamanian golden frog. They live in South America as well and contain a poison that is very similar to the poison dart frog. Some adaptations that the poison dart frogs have are strong hind legs for jumping, skin color is used for camouflage and or to warn other predators of their poisonous, sticky tongue to help catch their pray and sticky pads on their feet for climbing trees. The poison dart frog belongs to the…
