=**__ TORNADO TIME WITH THOMAS __**=

=**__ This wiki page is a site that talks about the natural disaster known as Tornadoes and how people live with there lives impacted by Tornadoes. My name is Thomas. I go to [|MICDS] in [|St. Louis, Missouri].What you will see on this site: Does and don't's when tornadoes are going threw your city. Plus you will see the Fujita scale that measures tornadoes. Also the site will list famous tornadoes that caused casualties including the one in Joplin, Missouri and the one in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. __****__ .. Finally you get an experts " inside scoop" on tornadoes. The one main thing this site will teach you is... everything about Tornadoes! Hope you enjoy it! __**= =**__ Now here is my historical disaster. __**= = =

 * __ It was March 18, 1925, this is the day that the U.S.A's worst tornado had come and killed 695 people. It started in southeastern part of Missouri, to southern Illinois and then southwestern Indiana. It was rated a a Ef-5 the worst damage rate that the Fujita scale supplies. The tornado supposedly went on for 3.5. hours long. __**

 * __ As you can see this effected many people because they had only few ways of knowing they were there.One of them was the [|Radio] and the other main one was the [|funnel cloud] that you see before the tornado. But now in 2012 we have warning sirens the TV and the radio and the funnel cloud [|tornado siren.] But it was not all EF-5 tornadoes there was only 1 confirmed EF-5 tornado. And there were 2 confirmed EF-4 tornadoes 4comfirmed EF-3, EF-2 and 0 EF-1 and EF-0 that is a total of 9 confirmed tornadoes. __**

= = Well, 2011 has put it’s self into the record book according to the article, “2011 Tornadoes and The Three Little Pigs”, [],. The USA has had nearly 1,200 tornadoes says NOAA, []. Four of these deadly disasters were the worst rating EF-5 on the Fujita scale. Two of the deadliest we most often think of where in Joplin, Missouri and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We think of these two because some many people lost their lives and everyone there had their life flipped upside down! We know in Joplin because it was so bad that people from other states went to Joplin to help the people rebuild their houses and school. The schools and houses were little blown off the map. = = But, why were there so many tornadoes? Scientist point several large climate factors. Some of the factors have been at work behind the scenes since winter. Some of the mind-boggling numbers have also been pointed out to, believe it or not, humans! There is more of us around to see them. Some of the blame is pointed to La Nina. La Nina is a system of trade winds that cool the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The cause of a tornado is when the jet stream over the USA meets the winds of La Nina. Cool dry air chases warm moist air. The recipe for a tornado! In addition, the sea surface temperature of the Gulf of Mexico is between 1.5 -2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the average temperature. = = This article is important to science because it explains why they occurred where they did in 2011 because of the climate factors at play around the world. = = Citations [], [] =**Thank you, and please vote for me.**=
