The Tornado Reporter Natural Disaster Project 2012 By: Bryce Greetings! I'm Bryce, I am a fifth grade student at [|MICDS][|In St.Louis,Missouri,USA] I am in Mr.Fitz's geography class and we are studying [|Natural Disasters] and how geography effects human lives. This page gives you a "Inside Scoop" on all to know about [|Tornadoes]. Tornadoes are really cool. On this page tornadoes become cool-er. Stick turned to the tornado report!! media type="custom" key="12293436"[|MICDS WEATHER STATION]

== This is the Tornado Fujita Scale. The [|Fujita Scale] Tells us how bad the winds are and the damage from the Tornadoes. This picture shows us what the Tornado looks like. ==

=**__The Science:__**= Learn more about Tornadoes by clicking under here! Here is my PowerPoint About Tornadoes. This PowerPoint has plenty of information!



=**__In The News:__**= In Science Class We Did Current Events! We had to choose 1 event from the past year. Read mine by clicking under here!

=**__Historical Event__**:= == In the past there has been a lot of Tornadoes. Such as the [|Grand Island Tornado]or sometimes known as the //**__Night of the Twisters__**//. On June 3rd,1980, 7 tornadoes touched down in[| Grand Island, Nebraska.]It lasted for 2 hours and 15 minutes and the maximum recorded Tornado was a F4 Tornado. Houses burning, debris everywhere, lights off, no radio to help people out of future tornadoes to come that night, people in Grand Island went to shelters and wept for the families and wondered if the were okay this was a crazy night or Grand Island. ==

== Although there were tornado sirens to warn them, although the news stated the bad weather was coming. They were prepared for the one Tornado but not for the others. Know they are ready and prepared for the tornado and bad storms that come there way. Luckily none worse than tornado ever happened. In fact none even happened. But when bad weather is in the forecast calls for bad weather they are always prepared. ==

== To learn more about this tragic Tornado read the book [|Night of the Twisters]**by [|Ivy Ruckman].** Or visit ==
