  1. A tornado is a violent, dangerous, rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.
    They are often referred to as a twister or a cyclone[1], although the word cyclone is used in meteorology in a narrower sense, only to name hurricanes or typhoons.

  2. predictions say that the tornado that is shifting east through the Mississippi and Super cell- A super cell is a thunder tornado, a deep connuously-rtating updraft.
    Types of Tornados- Super cell Tornadoes, Land spout, Gustavo, Waterspout, Dust Devils, Fire whirls.
    Tornado alley is in the central United states
    The Joplin tornado was one of the worst tornadoes in history. It left 122 people dead and 750 people hurt.
    There are increased chances of storms carouse the United States. Vortex whirling mass or rotary motion in a liquid, gas, flame, etc, such as the spiralling movement of water around a whirlpool

  3. Twisters, dust devils, and whirlwinds. Tornado actually comes from the Spanish word, tornadoa, which means thunderstorm...

    A vortex is a mass of whirling fluid or air, esp. a whirlpool or whirlwind.
    A super cell is A super cell is a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone; a deep, continuously-rotating updraft.


    JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) -- Emergency crews drilled through concrete at a ruined Home Depot, making peepholes in the rubble in hopes of finding lost shoppers and employees. A dog clambered through the shattered remains of a house, sniffing for any sign of the woman and infant who lived there.
    Across devastated Joplin, searchers moved from one enormous debris pile to another Tuesday, racing to respond to any report of a possible survivor.
    The human toll rose to at least 122 dead and 750 people hurt. But just nine had been pulled alive from the aftermath. Searchers fought the clock because anybody still alive after the deadliest single tornado in 60 years was losing precious strength two days after the disaster. And another round of storms was closing in.

  4. Super Cell-a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocycle; a deep, continuously-rotating updraft. For this reason, these storms are sometimes referred to as rotating thunderstorms.
    Vortex-a whirling mass of air, especially one in the form of a visible column or spiral, as a tornado.
    Different types of tornadoes- Supercell Tornadoes, Landspout, Gustnado, Waterspout, Dust Devils, Firewhirls, and also Steam Devil.
    Super Outbreak April 3-4 1974- West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, and many more.
    Joplin, Missouri Tornado Single Deadliest In U.S. Since 1950
    Average prediction- threat of having severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, hail, and/or tornadoes for the specified days.

    The disaster in Joplin, Missouri was one of the deadliest in the U.S. since 1950. The human toll rose to at least 122 dead and 750 people hurt.
    The rain is going to be heavy and there’s a chance of mix and ice. I don’t really know how to read this map, but I tried.

  7. 1)Vocabulary - Vortex Super Cell
    Tornadoes often develop from a class of thunderstorms known as supercells. Supercells contain mesocyclones, an area of organized rotation a few miles up in the atmosphere, usually 1–6 miles (2–10 km) across.

    tornado is a type of tornado in which two or more columns of spinning air rotate around a common center.

    A super cell is a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone; a deep, continuously-rotating updraft. For this reason, these storms are sometimes referred to as rotating thunderstorms. Of the four classifications of thunderstorms (super cell, squall line, multi-cell, and single-cell), super cells are the overall least common and have the potential to be the most severe. Super cells are often isolated from other thunderstorms, and can dominate the local climate up to 32 kilometers (20 mi) away.
