    Tornados

    Uploaded by

    Roberto López
    Tornados are short-lived rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. The most intense tornados form from supercell thunderstorms requiring the right conditions. The deadliest tornado on record was the 1989 Bangladesh tornado that killed 1,300 people and destroyed the towns of Daulatpur and Saturia. The deadliest US tornado was the 1925 "Tri-State" tornado that crossed Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, killing over 700 people with winds up to 352 km/h over a path of 377 km. Effective emergency plans are needed to prepare for intense tornados.

    Tornados

    By: Roberto López Thomas and Adán Esteban Mandujano Pérez


    Definition

    A tornado is a mass of air with high angular velocity whose lower end
    is in contact with the Earth's surface and the upper end with a cloud.

    It is the most energy-dense cyclonic atmospheric phenomenon on


    Earth. However, unlike, for example, cyclones or typhoons, it is short-
    lived and short-lived. It can vary from seconds to more than an hour.
    How tornadoes form?

    The most intense tornadoes emerge


    from what are called supercell
    thunderstorms. For such a storm to
    form, first "you need the ingredients
    for a regular thunderstorm to form.
    Daulatpur and Saturia tornado
    The devastation was so great that, except for the skeletons of trees, there was no sign of
    permanent infrastructure". This is how the Bangladesh Observer described the catastrophe of the
    tornado that hit the towns of Daulatpur and Saturia.
    In fact, an area of six square kilometers was totally devastated. It is the deadliest of all tornadoes
    on record, with a death toll of 1,300.
    It occurred on April 26, 1989, after a six-month period of drought that probably created the
    conditions for the spectacular storm to occur.
    Nearly 80,000 people lost their homes and the towns of Daulatpur and Saturia were totally
    destroyed. The magnitude of the tornado on the Fujita scale is unknown, due to the lack of means
    to make measurements.

    “Tri-State” tornado
    This is the name given to the deadliest tornado in the history of the United States and the third deadliest in the
    world. It occurred on Wednesday, March 18, 1925. Its geographical scope was, as its name indicates, that of three
    states: Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
    The tornado killed more than twice as many people as the second deadliest tornado in the United States, the Great
    Natchez, which occurred in 1840. Winds of up to 352 kilometers per hour were recorded.
    In its path it traveled from southeast Missouri to southern Illinois and from there to southwest Indiana. Although the
    U.S. Weather Service, NOAA, has not qualified it as such, it is recognized by most experts as a category F5
    tornado, the highest category.
    There are doubts as to whether it was a single tornado or multiple tornadoes. However, some investigations carried
    out after the event suggest that it could have been a single tornado and that its path would have reached 377
    kilometers in distance.
