**Hello people of the world!!!,**

**My name is Maddy. I am a 5th grader at [|MICDS] in [|St. Louis, Missouri]. I am 11 years old!! My birthday is December 28 2000, right around Christmas!! I will be talking about tornadoes for my natural disaster project. We are doing this very fun project in World Geography class. After you read these paragraphs, you will be so surprised at what you have learned so far about tornadoes. I chose this topic because to me I thought it was very interesting to learn about tornadoes in St. Louis, Missouri. If you would like to read more, you will find out some really interesting facts about tornadoes and how tornadoes impact people's lives. If there was a tornado and it hits someones house, then it could destroy the house. That is how tornadoes impact people's lives. **

**What happened during the big tornado 1989.**

**This tornado took place in 1989 in Saturia, Bangladesh in April 26th. Bangladesh is a very poor continent also, it gets flooded a lot because there is a ocean right where Bangladesh is.... The 1989 tornado was very destructive. This powerful event killed nearly 1,300 people. The tornado destroyed trees, power lines, houses, buildings, and people. The 1989 tornado was 6 square kilometer wide. Also, it was 50 miles long off the ground. Sadly, 80,000 people were left homeless with no food, water or shelter. Last of all, 12,000 people were injured by the Bangladesh storm:( When this tornado was coming lots of people hid in there basement. **

**How the tornado started**

**The Bangladesh tornado started all because of very bad and server weather. The weather in Bangladesh was horrible before the storm came. The tornado went on for about 2-3 minutes. In that short period of time it destroyed and killed lots of humans, buildings, land, and homes. **

**Weeks later when the tornado happened...**


 * People are still trying to fix Bangladesh after the tornado. ****Here are two pictures of the tornado. **

Warmth Helps Trigger Twisters

USA Today

70 tornadoes were reported in the United States during the month of January, 2012. This is the third highest in January since records were kept starting in 1950. These storms killed two people in Alabama. Extremely warm temperatures in January across the United States helped to trigger many of these thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Most of these happened in the south and in the Ohio Valley. On January 9, 6 tornadoes hit the Houston area, and two days later, western North Carolina was hit by three tornadoes that injured 18 people. On January 17 there were 12 tornadoes from southern Indiana and Kentucky to Mississippi. The largest outbreak of tornadoes happened late on January 22 and into January 23 from the lower Mississippi Valley to Alabama. The deadliest of these hit St. Clair and Jefferson County, Alabama, where 2 people were killed and 100 were injured.

Two facts I learned in this article were that so many people were injured in Alabama last January as a result of the January 23 tornado. Another fact I learned is that records were not kept on tornadoes until the year 1950!

This article is important to science because it is about tornadoes and the conditions that create them. By studying the history of tornadoes, meteorologists can learn to predict better where they will strike and then be able to better protect people from injury and death.
