1 Storms

2 associated withLow Pressure

3 Thunderstorms http://digg.com/video/zeus-car-lightning- intersection Rapidly rising warm air, expands, cools and condenses A cold front pushes warm air up more quickly, thus storms are longer and have heavier precipitation Lightning Thunder

4 Emergency Preparedness If thunder roars, ___________ Get out of the pool Don’t stand near trees Go inside Don’t take a shower Go indoors

5 Hurricanes

6 Forms over __________________________ Rapidly rising warm air begin to spiral inward Strongest winds around the eye of the storm Long lived http://www.miamisci.org/hurricane/weather station.html - less than 2 minutes http://www.miamisci.org/hurricane/weather station.html Warm tropical water, temps above 27 o C

9 Hurricanes –Gains energy over ____________ –Loses energy over land and cold water. –Range between 300-600km (185-375 mi) in diameter. –Common in________________________. –Storm surge: _________________________. Highest death rate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS0gv4Xbw7w&fe ature=youtu.be warm water Late summer and early fall hurricane pulls water onto land

13 Emergency Preparedness Evacuate (get to higher ground) - flooding Stock up on provisions – canned food, water, prescriptions, money, batteries, etc Inland of a hurricane – be wary of tornadoes Board up windows

14 Tornadoes Associated with _______________ Most of the time, counterclockwise rotation Short lived (minutes) Commonly less than 1 mi in diameter Low pressure

15 Emergency Preparedness Get to the lowest floor of your house – basement If no basement, go to room with no windows

16 Blizzards Results from the collision of polar and tropical air masses High winds, extreme temperatures and Snow!!!! (snow day?? Anywhere but Norwich. Lol)

18 Emergency Preparedness Batteries, canned food and water - in case you lose power Shovelling can lead to deaths (heart attacks)

19 Disaster Kit What should you put in one?
