A frantic weather reporter is reporting on a live tornado. The reporter exclaims, “Wood, metal, and all kinds of debris are being thrown directly outward from the edge of the funnel.” In light of your understanding of circular motion, comment on the accuracy of the reporter’s statement.

The tire on your car is almost flat and, therefore, a large portion of the tire’s surface is in contact with the street. When you pump it up, less of the tire’s surface is in contact with the street. Explain why a change in tire pressure changes the amount of tire surface in contact with the street.

I’ve always wanted to get a good chance to talk to a Muslim American and ask them a million questions.

Like is it hard being a Muslim in America?

Are people as half as shameless about their bigotry in the real world as they are online toward you?

What is good about America for Muslims to live in it?

What did you feel when you watch the Twin Towers fall?

What do you feel about groups like Al Qaida? Do you want to see them hunted down or reformed?

The only experience I think I ever had with Muslims was when a hurricane knocked out the utilities a Muslim temple came by and provided hot meals, hot showers, baby supplies, light repairs to homes to prevent further damage, and help clear debris from the road…

Gusty Winds, Pouring rains
disaster struck four states
Severe weather for Kentucky, Tennessee,
Arkansas and Mississippi

A tornado leaving 48 dead
and hundreds of others injured
as the wind blew over the stores and shopping malls
only parts of the buildings lingered

Trees that came crashing down
many bodies and people were found
“We had a beautiful neighborhood, now its hell”
as one man from the sight yelled

A man tried to retrieve his brother to a near hospital
and the wife said that, “he never had a chance,”
“I looked him right in the eye and he died right in front of me”
and sadly people had to search for their dead family

People’s memories and buildings came tumbling down
their life’s work and vision for themselves
was now a dream diminished and never found
Passions for life and everything ahead lies desolate

Debris and rubbish all piled up
pictures and money worth a lot
had been drowned in this quake of fear
this deathly and scary tornado that came here

Its time to look for a new house
new jobs and better health
to get over what has happened in the past
but we will always have in memory
this deadly catastrophe
unfortunately this tornado won’t be the last
I had to write a poem for english class that dealt with the tornado that killed 48 people.

The breeder and my 6 week old pup were in a tornado last weekend. I am going to cut and paste from this email he sent me describing the incident. The puppies were all ok but my question is , is it possible for them to suffer some type of long term pyschological effects from this type of incident or will it even remember this problem in a couple weeks.

Hello all
Last Friday afternoon we were hit with a tornado. Knocked down – up rooted large shade trees in our yard where the Boxers were. The little ones were in their dog houses and the falling trees smashed the dog houses they were in. We don’t know how the puppies survived it but they didn’t get a scratch. Carolyn and I were in the house and didn’t have the tv on and didn’t know it was near us until it hit. I was ready to run out and gather up the little Boxers when it hit with nearly 100 mile an hour winds. The trees started falling and I just knew the babies were killed. As soon as it was calming I ran out in the rain and found the little guys still in the mashed dog houses except for two that were scattered in the debris. The white one and the black brindle females were blown in the debris. I searched for them for 2 hours and finally located them under a shrubry bush at the corner of the house. Little things werre scared to death. We brought them in and dried them off and gave them lots of loving. They all snuggled up together and went to sleep and they were fine. That was a close call for us and the little Boxers. The huge trees learned over the house but the twisting winds twisted them to the south missing the house. The Mobile HOme was untouched next door where we keep all the infants. I had just taken the 6 week old pups to their outside pen-dog house in the grass because they were needing space to play. They would have been safe in the Mobile Home.
Just thought I would let you know what happened to us and that everything is fine. We decided to not let the little Boxers leave until they are 7 or 8 weeks old due to the trauma they went through. We are afraid that after that and then going to a new home would be just entirely too stressful to them. Thank you……….George & Carolyn Hart
ps.
The local newspaper made these pictures of us after we retrieved the little puppies and they will make headlines in this weeks paper. The thought it was a miracle that the little Boxers wern’t hurt. And we thought we would pass them along to you.

Have been watching some chase videos online http://tornadovideos.net
and I always see buildings destroyed and debris blowing around but this usually happens near the base of it. Have you ever heard of anything "sucked up" and ejected from the top of the storm ?

I had the most weirdest and craziest dream yesterday. I had a dream that my state had a severe tornado outbreak and tornado warnings were issued like crazy and tornadoes formed like crazy. I even dreamed that i was some sort of person in the community’s safety team and i drove around helping people from debris while tornadoes formed like crazy and i drove back and forth from the community’s public shelter. I even had a laptop with wireless internet access on the road in my car that provided me with tornado warnings & weather watches updates. What would this kind of dream mean to me ? I do honestly love weather especially weather like thunderstorms and stuff but I’m not studying meteorology I’m studying computer science. What did this dream mean at all to me ? My state in the next 2 days will have a chance of thunderstorms. Would it mean there would be a tornado outbreak ? I don’t understand because it was a very crazy dream.

An f5 tornado with winds over 300 mph? Keep in mind the Abrams weighs 69 tons. However it has a alot of flat sides that would be taking the wind head on…..would the tank be pushed around at all?

My opinion is that the twister would push it a little bit (f4 tornado +) but couldnt lift it high enough to cause real damage.
Also, I would imagine debris wouldn’t be a problem at all because of the armor
good thought
but the train cars provide a much larger and boxier profile for the wind than an abrams tank.
oh damn ill have to use my tank for other purposes
interesting nick, I suppose that if tanks were airtight they might explode in this situation but I dont think they are. Plus, I dont think the drop in pressure would be enough to "explode" a hardened vehicle like a tank. A ford escort, sure, but not an Abrams lol

I was doing a quick 45 minute exercise from a book, and the goal was "write what you know" – well… this is what I know! Now let ME know if you’re interested in the topic or how you feel about the writing. Thanks for the feedback!

–

Pepita Gonzalez constantly lied to 20 million girls and women, but she knew it was okay because she was one of them.

Her work inbox jumped at the bottom of her desktop with a new email.

Three new emails. Four.

Pepita’s mouse cursor soared towards the inbox icon across her huge monitor. This week, her desktop was a photograph taken by someone looking up at a gigantic tornado. Pepita heard that the photographer who took the picture had died and the camera had been recovered nearly a week later. She liked the story, even though she could see that several pieces of the photo were not real.

The picket fence, for example, which snaked like dreamy white train tracks through the debris, was taken from a video game poster of a 747 crashing in a neighborhood. Pepita’s design agency had helped make that game poster. But Pepita still told people the story of the twister’s photographer anyway. Even if the fence wasn’t real, there might have been something real in it, right?

Pepita made her cursor loop around the tornado like a piece of debris before clicking on her inbox.

Waiting for her were six emails with the final shots from the agency’s photo shoot. There was also a friendly "hurry your ass up we’re already behind schedule" reminder from her art director.

Like she had to be reminded why she was at her work computer at 2:30 am. In a few hours the designers would start screaming for the 6 final photographs so that they could begin designs for the magazine and poster promos.

If the designers didn’t know what the models poses were like, they couldn’t put the words in the right place. Pepita didn’t really understand this. Was it that hard to throw a Victoria’s Secret logo and tagline onto a photo?

Logos and taglines wasn’t her job, though. Her job was to study the photos of the starving, almost-naked underwear models, and make them look even more fabulous than the art director or lighting director or makeup artist could.

Pepita forwarded the 6 photos to the designers. She wasn’t supposed to. The models’ agents had it under contract that only Pepita was allowed to see them before they’ve been retouched.

"Who cares?" Pepita thought. "Let them start designing. The poses aren’t going to change… even though everything else is."

The first one was simple. A silhouette shot on a jungle green background. Pepita grabbed the green color from the background and erased the slight muffin-top on the model’s hips. It didn’t matter if a model was 100 pounds and 6 feet tall, elastic is elastic and it causes a bump. But people didn’t like when elastic looked real… they wouldn’t buy the underwear if they saw what it really looked like, so it couldn’t look real.

The second one was a full color body. Pepita groaned. It needed a lot of work.

She started with the usual stuff… she grabbed the "blur" tool and attacked every pore on the model’s body. She isolated the whites of the eyes, made them whiter. She grabbed the "saturate" tool and made the model’s eyes even greener, to match the jungle theme. She added another highlight to the eyes, to make them dreamier. Pepita whitened teeth, erased moles, covered blemishes, and then completely erased the model’s awkward half-outie/half-innie bellybutton and replaced it with a prettier bellybutton from a previous model.

The model was a skinny, and needed the joint-treatment. It was a lot easier than the movie stars or (god forbid) average-Jane contest winners, who needed major reshaping. No, the skinny models were the right size in the flesh, except for their joints. Their knees were so knobby, it looked like the bones were constantly trying to escape the tendons. The elbow joints were square, rather than triangular, as if there were accidentally one too many bones devoted to bending the arm.

Pepita had to make the joints look normal. She copied pieces from a different model, until she relized that the lighting simply wouldn’t allow the two images to merge. The knees and elbows had highlights that didn’t match – it was like merging photos of a house at night, with a different house photographed in the daytime.

Eventually, Pepita had to copy and paste different pieces from the model’s body and construct a new knee and elbow.

The art director asked about her progress. Her eyes itched – it was 3:30 am. 4 more photos to go.
One after another, Pepita turned the models from amazing into fabulous. Fantastical, but fabulous. These models lived in a world where there was no gravity and their underwear stayed on without elastic, in a world where there was never a crease of skin between the bra and the armpit, in a world where there were no pores and where joints and flesh meshed into impossible combinations.

Pepita knew they weren’t real, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to be them. It was like the picture of the twister – if she made herself forget what was fake, she could pretend that the story was true. After all, a picture of a real tornado wouldn’t be nearly as fabulous.

That’s it! Obviously, not much on character development or story… those weren’t really my goal for this exercise. Just writing what I knew. Thanks for reading!

Their was a tornado locally, so I decided to investigate it and shoot photos of it. However, the police had the public roads leading into the town closed. I was unable to go to where I wanted to get the photos I needed. They let other vehicles and media through. But I was unable to. I was however allowed to park and walk. While there was debris, the roads were drivable. And as I mentioned they allowed some people to drive through but not others. I even came through one road one way, but for some odd reason, they would not let me go back through. I had to find an alternative route home.
Can they prevent people from going through towns that are disaster area’s like this? Don’t photojournalists have certain rights? Can they allow some media outlets but not others? And how do you go about getting access as other journalists, media, construction workers, or insurance agents have? It seems like some photographers are allowed full access but others aren’t.
And how would one acquire a press pass? When I spoke with a photographer with one of the local papers in the past about getting a position with the paper or as an independent photographer for them, I would need to have a portfolio first. Well it’s hard to start one when your unable to gain access to these types of situations. I thought press passes were simply documentation from the paper or media company you are working for to state your with them, nothing being of an official government type of credentials. I didn’t think they were needed for these types of events.
I asked a question, but apparently people would rather insult and discourage others while not even trying to better the situation for other photographers.
Hokielover01, I’m sorry, but where do you have the right to tell others what they are qualified for or not especially when you do now know anything about the person. I guess it must be a ego issue on your part, or maybe you are just scared someone could do a better job then you can do?
First of all, just because you have a press pass for some newspaper does not mean you know anymore then someone else. I do realize the risks. I think I am more then competent to understand the dangers of power lines and other risks. And more likely more then you.
First of all, I am a professional photographer. God forbid If I wanted to supplement my income by doing some freelance photojournalist work. I would like to know how I would get in the way of some idiot like you? I think I have a little more processional courtesy then that, but I guess you couldn’t realize that because I asked a question.
It’s people like you that actually ruin photographers good names. Its also people like you that think because you have a camera and can snap pictures of a disaster you think you’re a real photographer. Now I truly understand why photographers say photojournalists have no real photography skills. Because obviously with your quick to putdown attacks, you are a pretty defensive because your obviously very scared.

I am an adult that came here from Wisconsin 5 years ago. I try to explain that it is much worse than a blizzard or anything like that. And then i get questions like, "Don’t you just want to go stand out in the hurricane and watch it?" Haha. I’m like, "It’s NOT a tornado." There’s no spectacle. Just extremely high dangerous life threatening winds with debris and heavy objects falling all around you. And flooding. Terrible flooding. New Orleans type flooding sometimes. Live power lines down. And the hardest part I have is describing how long it messes up the community. It can put everything on hold for weeks and maybe months. I get the craziest questions about hurricanes. And when folks say, "Man I wouldn’t live in Florida because of the hurricanes," then I say, "You can prepare for a hurricane. But you can’t really prepare for gut wrenching super low Florida wages." And that’s when I think of that stupid Wal-Mart smiley face.

ok first off i live in an area that hasn’t seen a tornado yet (at least from what i know). but today, there is a TORNADO WATCH in my area. the problem is, my house does not have a basement nor a cellar. i’ve read the tips for tornado safety for a house without a basement. they said that i should seek shelter in either a downstairs bathroom or a closet.

the problem is, my bathroom is on the south side of my house, which is the direction tornados usually come from. plus, it is connected to the exterior wall of the house, which, if a tornado hit us, that would be the first room to get hit. it also lacks a bathtub, which would have protected me from some debris.

now my second choice, my downstairs closet, is occupied by the water heater and a lot of other things. although my closet is located under the stairs, the water heater uses natural gas to heat, which may explode.

so now here’s my question: which room would be deemed the safest place in my house?
ok maybe i didnt word this right. i know that i need to go to the lowest level and seek shelter in either my bathroom, closet, or hallway and i know i need to use something to cover myself with. the hallway has windows; the bathroom does have a closet, BUT it is along the southern wall of my house (tornadoes usually come from the south) and it lacks a bathtub; my closet is under the stairs, BUT it has a hot water tank heated by GAS, which is EXPLOSIVE.

what i need help on is deciding whether my closet or bathroom would be the ideal place to seek shelter during a tornado.

4 dead, 48 injured as tornado hits Boy Scout camp

BLENCOE, Iowa – Frightened Boy Scouts huddled in a shelter as a tornado tore through their western Iowa campground, killing four people and injuring 48 others who had little to no warning of the approaching twister.

In Iowa, rescue workers cut their way through downed branches and dug through debris amid rain and lightning Wednesday night to reach the camp where the 93 boys, ages 13 to 18, and 25 staff members were attending a weeklong leadership training camp.

Side note- Two things I hate most are children and pets in harms way.

but what do I know, i’m not God. =/

Did your house shake and/or did things fall in your basement? What did the noise remind you of? I have been through some confirmed tornadoes in my area, but nothing extreme like what happens in Kansas. All I could hear was the wind roaring and debris hitting the house. I did not hear a sound like a train or jet as many people claim they hear. There was some terrible damage in our area but our home did not get damaged, just our trees.

Also does anyone know of a good place to buy a prefabricated tornado shelter or cellar?

I played a storm chaser for many years starting at the young age of seven. In 1962 while everybody else was hiding inside their houses, I was outside in the rain up on the roof of our small barn with my father’s binoculars watching the sky. I must admit that I stood up there for 10 to 15 minutes completely drenched from head to toe shiverin in the cold and quite bit frightened at what I was now watching at the time. Yes at the time I witnessed two huge tornadoes roughly 1000 yards to the west that had crisscrossed each other as they laid down a path of destruction in front of me. However, the tornado that was now to the Northwest of my current position began to glow brightly like the sun’s rays were beading down through it at some point. Then I saw a hideous looking figure that seemed to be swimming around in the sky. In fact, it seemed to be skipping on all that debris that this tornado had picked up. I know it sounds crazy but in 1989 I video taped its cloudlike likeness.

I was watching tonado videos on tornadovideo.net and i was noticing how black the clouds were when the tornado is getting ready to come down. I was just wondering why that is. Sometimes you see white puffy clouds and the black storm clouds. Guess i shoulda paid more attention in school huh….
well then, how do the tornados rate from F-1 to F-5….is it the stronger the winds or is it because they pick up more debris. Do they start out small then get bigger and bigger????

For example, the "king of all tornados"-The 1925 Tri State Tornado" had 3 different forms the 3 seperate states it terrorized.

Missori- A dark, creepy, "ground hugging fog" that was rolling along the hills as far as the eye cound see.

Illinois- The famous "mile wide monster" like we all remember from the climax of the movie Twister.

Indiana- A "Wizard of Oz" type ROPE-LIKE funnel that whipped like a scorpion tail and actually PICKED UP GROUND SPEED as it propelled from 60 mph to an astonishing 73 mph! All the while MAINTAINING the damage level of F5 qualifications!

It was perhaps the most amazing weather related phenomenon in American history.

It seems however that the average person DOES BELIEVE that an F5 must be very fat and wide. Granted most F5’s are that way because of the multi-vortex nature of these storms and the encompassing "ground halo" of debris that often create an even wider image.

What do you think? DO most people think this way?

Based on suggestions from a 2002 study, the American Red Cross has changed the guidance it gives regarding tornado safety. Conventional advice for people in vehicles is to seek refuge in a ditch or low-lying area. However, the ARC now advises:

"Get into a vehicle, buckle the seat belt and drive at right angles or perpendicular to the storm movement to get out of the path. If strong winds and flying debris occur while driving, pull over and park, keeping seat belts on and the engine running. Occupants put their heads down below the windows, covering with hands and a blanket if possible."
