Tornadoes!


Tornadoes
The worst Tornado in US History was The Great Ti-State Tornado of 1925. This tornado destroyed everything! Bark was stripped of trees, houses were picked up and swept away, along with cars! The ground was torn up and trees were on the ground! There was 652 deaths and 2000 were injured. At that time the total damage that was done was about 16.5 million which in todays economy would have been about 2 million dollars.

clouds:)

mammatus clouds: a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. its nicknamed the breast cloud.

lenticular cloud: these are clouds that form around hills and mountains.

roll cloud: roll clouds form on near advancing cold fronts

noctilucent cloud: Noctilucent clouds can form only under very restricted conditions. Noctilucent clouds are made of tiny crystals of water ice, higher than any other clouds in Earth's atmosphere. Clouds in the Earth's lower atmosphere form when water collects on particles, but other clouds may form directly from water vapor.

my favorite was the lenticular cloud because it looked so pretty around the hill or mountain.
