Tornados By Sofia Beck

Tornados Lets Look at different categories of Tornados!!! A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air it is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud

Tornado Category 0 Light Damage Some damage to chimneys branches broken off trees shallow-rooted trees pushed over sign boards damaged Wind speeds at 40-72 miles per hour

Tornado Category 1 Moderate damage Peels surface off roofs mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned cars blown off roads Wind speed at 73-112 miles per hour

Tornado Category 2 Considerable Damage Roofs torn off frame houses mobile homes demolished boxcars overturned large trees snapped or uprooted cars lifted off ground Wind speeds at 113-157 miles per hour

Tornado Category 3 Severe tornado Severe damage Roofs and some walls torn off well-constructed houses Trains overturned Most trees in forest uprooted Heavy cars lifted off ground and thrown Wind speed 158-206 miles per hour

Tornado Category 4 Devastating tornado Devastating damage Well-constructed houses leveled Structure with weak foundation blown off some distance Cars thrown Wind speed 207-260 miles per hour

Tornado Category 5 Lets look at famous tornados!!! Incredible tornado Incredible damage Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distance to disintegrate Trees debarked Incredible phenomena will occur

Over 200 city blocks torn apart St. Louis, Mo. (Sep. 29, 1927) FAST FACTS 72 fatalities, 550 injured Total damage estimate corrected for inflation: $2.077 billion (2011 dollars) Over 200 city blocks torn apart

Tuscaloosa, Ala. (Apr. 27, 2011) FAST FACTS 65 fatalities, 1500 injured Total damage estimate:  $2.2 billion Tornado path length:  80.68 miles

Joplin, Mo. (May 22, 2011) FAST FACTS 161 fatalities (Deadliest single U.S. tornado since 1947) Total damage estimate:  $2.8 billion 7,500 residential dwellings damaged affecting more than 17,000 people

255 fatalities, at least 1000 injured St. Louis, Mo. (May 27, 1896) FAST FACTS 255 fatalities, at least 1000 injured Total damage estimate corrected for inflation: $2.56 billion (2011 dollars) Generated F4 damage

Deadliest U.S. tornado: 695 fatalities, 2,027 injuries "Tri-State Tornado" (Mar. 18, 1925) FAST FACTS Deadliest U.S. tornado:  695 fatalities, 2,027 injuries Path length: 219 miles, but new research suggests it was at least 174 miles Total damage estimate corrected for inflation: $1.46 billion (2011 dollars)
