Tornado in St. Johns County Florida in World Golf Village area April 11, 2024 A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. It is often referred to as a twister, whirlwind or cyclone, although the word cyclone is used in meteorology to name a weather system with a low-pressure area in the center around which, from an observer looking down toward the surface of the Earth, winds blow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern. Tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes, and they are often (but not always) visible in the form of a condensation funnel originating from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, with a cloud of rotating debris and dust beneath it. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 180 kilometers per hour (110 miles per hour), are about 80 meters (250 feet) across, and travel several kilometers (a few miles) before dissipating. The most extreme tornadoes can attain wind speeds of more than 480 kilometers per hour (300 mph), are more than 3 kilometers (2 mi) in diameter, and stay on the ground for more than 100 km (62 mi)

Lightning Almost Strikes Fishermen lightning that all boaters should understand. First, lightning can strike up to 15 miles away from a storm. You might think you’re a safe distance away from storm activity, but don’t be fooled. Danger may be much closer than you think. Boating Magazine says that if you count the seconds between the lightning flash and the thunderclap and divide by five, you will have a rough estimate of the distance in miles you are from the storm. Second, the summer months are prime time for lightning activity. More than 70 percent of the lightning fatalities occur in the months of June, July or August. So, summertime boaters should be especially mindful and well prepared for potential lightning activity. Third, if your boat is the only one in the vicinity when lightning strikes, Boating Magazine warns “the odds of being struck go way up”.

The Size Difference of Tsunamis A tsunami is a catastrophic ocean wave, usually caused by a submarine earthquake, an underwater or coastal landslide, or a volcanic eruption. Waves radiate outward from the generating impulse at speeds of up to 500 miles (800 km) per hour, reaching maximum heights of 100 feet (30 metres) near coastal areas. Although often called tidal waves, the occurrence of tsunamis have no connection with tides. The word tsunami is Japanese for “harbour wave.” More geography related videos here https://rumble.com/playlists/cYA64Dyo9DY

F5 tornado tore through Andover, Kansas, killing 17 people From April 26 to 27, 1991, multiple supercells across Oklahoma and Kansas led to a regional tornado outbreak. Forced by a potent trough and focused along a dryline, these distinct thunderstorms moved northeast through a moist and highly unstable environment. A total of 55 tornadoes were confirmed, many of which were strong, F2 or greater on the Fujita scale. A widely documented F5 tornado tore through Andover, Kansas, killing 17 people. Additional fatalities occurred from significant tornadoes in other portions of Kansas and Oklahoma, with 21 deaths recorded in total. An F4 tornado was detected by a mobile doppler weather radar team which observed winds up to 270 mph (430 km/h) at the top of the funnel, the first time winds of F5 intensity were measured by radar, and the highest winds recorded by radar at the time. A news team filming an F2 tornado sought shelter under a Kansas Turnpike overpass, causing a misconception that overpasses can provide adequate shelter during a tornado. This outbreak occurred within a transition period for the National Weather Service and proved the value of NEXRAD radars, which were utilized in Oklahoma to provide advanced warning to residents.
