Greetings everyone. Thanks so much for stopping by. This past week saw one one the most intense tornado outbreaks in some time with most of the confirmed tornadoes in Oklahoma. With the arrival of May, the peak of the climatological tornado activity is here. Therefore, let’s stay with our overview of tornado safety. As usual, we have the latest US Drought Monitor update, so let’s get started.
- Imagination in scientific research is important, even if it seems a bit far fetched.
- Solar superstorms can have a significant impact on our every day life. Are we ready for the next big one?
- The warming of the North Pole has been well documented, but do we know why it’s happening?
- Here’s the latest update on the US Drought Monitor. Several of the northern and central plains states have seen steady improvement in drought conditions along with Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The latest fire weather outlooks can be found at the Storm Prediction Center website where they are updated daily.
TORNADO SAFETY
Let’s review very important and potentially life saving tornado safety guidelines. Here’s an excellent 20 page PDF document from the National Weather Service: “Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, Lightning…Nature’s Most Violent Storms.” NOAA has a very comprehensive page on what to do during a tornado warning. Here’s another detailed look at tornado safety you should read carefully. There are many misconceptions regarding taking shelter from a tornado. The following infographics should clear up any confusion.
The following infographic speaks for itself. While it addresses winter weather, it is certainly applicable year round regardless of the weather or climate in your region.
That’s a wrap for this post! Please check out our social media accounts! Thanks to everyone for stopping by.
See you next Saturday!
