Tornadoes contain some of the strongest winds on earth, causing death and damage when impacting man-made and natural objects, such as buildings and trees. Quantifying tornado winds near the surface is critical to characterizing tornado hazards. Direct measurements of tornado winds are rare and are ...
there are still ways to reduce the damage caused by natural disasters.Prediction and warning systems, education, preparation, and public awarenesscan minimise the consequences of a natural disaster on communities. Property and natural resources can be secured when a warning of an approaching disaster ...

The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami. “I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and...
S. D) Tornadoes destroyed homes in the U. S. 2. A) It came in early December. C) It destroyed buildings near Memphis. B) It ended in Michigan. D) It caused dozens of deaths. Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item. ...
One such complexity, for example, is the range of temporal onsets associated with different types of hydro- met hazards. Each type of event has its own set of forecasts related to its rate of onset and those ranges vary—from minutes (tornadoes, flashfloods) to months (drought, floods) ...
There is also lingering concern about raising awareness about the program for homeowners who do not have internet access. “My concern is that it is going to be very difficult to share this with equity,” council member Tennell Atkins said....
But getting back to the question, what is the test for deciding if a particular teaching or practice validates criticism? There is but one test that we have used consistently from the inception of Lighthouse Trails. The Book of Proverbs says: “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord...
Employing data from MERRA-2 and tornadoes between 1980 and 2017, we investigate four adjoining regions that cover the Central, Midwestern, and Southeastern United States. We developed two separate logistic regression models to identify EOFs contributing to substantial tornado activity. The LEOF models...
