HURRICANES HURRICANES AND WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT!

Kathy Trzeciak turned on her tv, to watch her favorite show, wheel of fortune.The ground was shaking and her things started to fall off the shelfs. She had no clue what was happening.She got up and looked out of the window and didn’t see anything.She ploped herself on the sofa and fliped the channel to the abc7 news.As loud as the tv can go, the words , HURRICANE COMING TO PANAMA CITY!Kathy jumped out of her seat and was yelling to the top of her lounges, their’s a hurricane coming, we need to go now.’MOM, DAD’.We need to leave, but there was no response.She ran up and down the stairs searching for her parents.Still no sign of her parents. She looked outside to see if she could see if the hurricane was coming her way.The water was flowing in like a rushing river.She seen her parents car, and was thinking about what she should do. Should she stay where she was or should she take her parents car.It wasn’t that long till she grabbed the keys and was driving away from the rushing water.

FUN FACT: If you are ever by a hurricane and you didn’t know what to do i would tell you to take cover and to go to a building that is really high so you don’t get sucked in the hurricane

The hurricane comes splashing on to land!

The middle of a hurricane is called a eye.

HURRICANES

Kathy looked through her rearview mirror and seen that the hurricane look like cotton candy, in a machine.The hurricane was coming up to the surface and was going to hit the house that her and her family were staying for spring break.She seen a person waving their hands and point to a really high building.Kathy seen the hurricane coming full blast so she ran until she could go any higher.The water last for hours and kathy drifted off to sleep.

The last thing that she remembers is, that she finally got to see her parents again at the airport.

begin as tropical storms over the warm moist waters. They are areas of low air pressure that form over oceans in tropical climate regions.

They begin when areas of low atmospheric pressure move off Africa and into the Atlantic, where they grow and intensify in the moistureladen air above the warm tropical ocean. Air moves toward these atmospheric lows from all directions and curves to the right under the influence of the Coriolis effect , thereby initiating rotation in the converging Wind fields .

They can knockdown falling trees tore, down power utilities, smashed cars, and their huge roots lifted.

Hurricanes are named because it is much easier for meteorologists, researchers, emergency response workers, ship captains and citizens to communicate about specific hurricanes and be clearly understood.

Many people learn from their past and. when the time comes they will be ready for a hurricane because now they know that the hurricane season From every starts on june 1 and ends hurricane that has november 30.

TORNADOES

You never see it coming until it happens!

I was only eight years old when a deadly tornado swept through my home town. I lived in Leawood, Kansas where we owned a farm. It was raining and storming all day.

I remember listening to my dad talking to my mom in a panicked voice, and me trying to understand what he was talking about. They were saying stuff like “I can hear the tornado warning.” and “Should we go down to the storm cellar?” I looked outside and everything was grey and dreary. The clouds looked like they were forming a swirling shape. And I don’t know why, but something inside me was telling me that there could be a tornado soon.

Twisters and tornadoes are the same thing!

TORNADOES I had learn a little bit and saw the about tornadoes in school, my teacher told our class that the state we live in is one of the staes with the most tornadoes each year. She told us that during a thunder storm, the cold air and the warm air combine, so that the cold air falls as the warm air rises. Then the warm air eventually twists into a spiral shape and forms the funnel cloud of the tornado.

My teacher also told us that in an average year 1,000 tornadoes a reported each year.

I turned to my mother and said “Mom is there going to be a tornado?” she said “Everything is going to be okay.”

Then I looked outside

The small sit in the bathtub rain drops felt like with your hands needles against my covering the back of bare arms. your neck.

THUNDERSTORMS

By Casey Winebrenner

THE BIG AND BAD THUNDERSTORM!!!

Jeni was walking her dog when she noticed what looked like rain clouds. She had heard on the news that there was a severe thunderstorm warning, but she didn’t know what it meant. She didn’t know the difference between a severe thunderstorm watch and a severe thunderstorm warning.

A severe thunderstorm watch is that severe thunderstorms are possible in and near the watch area.

To stay informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued. A severe thunderstorm warning is that severe weather has been reported by spotters, or indicated by a radar. Warnings indicate danger to life and property.

Then it started to immediately downpour rain. Luckily, Jeni was only a block away from her house.

[7]

Some people think that lighting fits where it strikes!

Adiam condimentum Purus in consectetuer Proin in sapien. Fusce urna magna,neque eget lacus. Maecenas felis nunc aliquam ac consequat vitae.

LOREM IPSUM

When she got inside and looked out the window, she saw lightning and then immediately heard heart-stopping thunder. Then the power went completely out. She saw another shocking flash of lightning, and heard another crack of thunder. She knew that however many seconds there are between the lightning and the thunder, that’s how many miles away the lightning struck.

In Jenny’s case, the lighting struck right by her. Lighting and thunder, flashing and roaring everywhere.

Jeni took her dog and went into the basement, because she thought that they would be more safe there. She thought this,

Lighting and thunder are all a part of the thunderstorm!

[8]

because there was no windows, so no glass could hit her or her dog.She sat on the floor with her dog trying to calm him, he was shaking because of the thunder.

But she noticed water coming in from her ceiling, then water started pouring into her basement. It quickly filled the bottom of it and Jeni was standing in a puddle where her floor rug was.

She picked up her dog and ran back upstairs, when she got into her kitchen, she found that the water pipes were broken and flooding her whole house. She ran outside and went to her neighbors house to wait out the rest of the storm.

BLIZZARD’S Male suada Quis Dolor set Ipsum mauris sapien vitae soldales erat

WHERE OFF TO SEE THE BLIZZARD! In the late afternoon, before I went to bed I had a chill and had to turn the thermostat up. It was 54 degrees in side my house. I realized it was cold and a little breezy.

So i went to bed with a few blankets. I hear sirens from all over the place, but I couldn’t tell what the sirens were for. I look outside the window and notice that I can’t see anything at all, it was pure white. I turn on the radio to find out what was going on. The radio was hard to hear ,so I closed unneeded rooms and I ran up stairs for a better signal. It was going all over the place with words. Left to right saying that there is an enormous blizzard going cross the state. Warning everyone they can. They where saying the different winter storms in the U.S. like; blizzards, lake effect, and ice storms.

[9]

I was wondering why they were saying all these things like; lake effect, that doesn't relate to a blizzard.

Lake effect is a snow shower and is when cold air moves over warm air. “Stay in doors if you haven’t evacuated the state yet.” I was full of fear. Not for only myself but for all the people outside caught in the hideous storm; getting lost, catching frostbite, getting hyperthermia, they may slip on slippery roads, and may die. Hopefully they would do what I would have done and build a snow cave and I wouldn’t eat snow either. But I had to consider my safety first.

I grab all the blankets, first aid kit, flashlights, and food/ water from down stairs as fast as I can. I try contacting the police for help. Just in case I need all the supplies I can get to survive the blizzard that I called “Chaos”. It was so enormous that when I look out the

window up stairs, even though there was low visibility I could see the snow above the first level of my house. All I could do was stay inside and keep calm until help arrives. The snow was everywhere.

I survived the blizzard , but it was a few days until I could reach the outside world.

I eventually found out all the chaos that the blizzard caused. Forty people had died and 12 people where injured or hurt. Im glad to be one of the few to survive.

This is why we need information about extreme weather to help us survive a horrendous storm. I now know the dangers and effects of a terrible storm.

Today I'm now 26 and wrote a book about my experience called “ Blizzard Alert”. I named it that because I put information for other people to learn the ways of surviving a blizzard and what not to do. One example is that if your outside differently do [10]

not eat snow, that will cause you temperature to go down. If you need to drink some water because your dehydrated you have to melt the snow first then it is safe to drink.

Another, is that you can build a underground snow cave to help keep wind away and to keep yourself warmer. If you are inside trapped, the first thing is to stay inside and close unneeded rooms.

Gather all the supplies you need to keep warm, gather food and water, and flashlights with batteries. You then can wait for safety to come and help you. The book is located at your local library nearest to you or check on my website, blizzards101.com.

More lives can be saved and that includes yours too.

MONSOON’S Male suada Quis Dolor set Ipsum mauris sapien vitae soldales erat

Have you ever read about a monsoon?

It is August at around 7:55 pm. I heard hard poundings on my walls all around my house. It sounded like thousands of little tiny gremlins dancing and pounding as hard as they can. As I look out the window I saw what looked like a water fall, falling on my house. It was a monsoon. I wouldn’t be able to drive because it was dark as black and the water was rising, I had to do something before my life was over. First thing I did was called the police, but the phone line was busy. I tried my wireless computer for information on how to survive the best way as possible. The website said that monsoons usually reaches about 89cm of rainfall and 96% year around.

I wasn’t worried as much but still want to be safe. It can cause flooding in some areas.

[11]

Nulla facilisi: Pellentesque eu aliquet vel. Vitae vehicula lobo rtis.

Ultricies mole stie libero dignissim id mauris, mus nec tempus lorem.

It was talking about the air currents, land and water, temperature, and the sun. The air currents flow from the east. The water and and land are usually from mountainous terrain areas. The temperature needs deferential heating and surface wind flow. The area has to heat the air above land for monsoons to occur.

The kind of clouds you will see is cirrus and convection.

The website also said what is needed to create a monsoon. It needs hot land mass, cold ocean at 105 degrees f., the dew point needs to be around 55 degrees f. or higher for 3 days, and the humidity at high levels. All these things and information is great but what about the dangers and safeness I need to

know to protect myself or others.

I went to other websites and read them and found what I needed to know.

The dangers are malaria, contaminated water, spoiled food, flooding, and road accidents. The safety tips I found were secure windows and doors, emergency supplies like first aid, turn off electricity, and stay inside. I lucky did all those things.

The other website was that how monsoons affect life in Arizona. It said that rain can last for days, with few breaks.

Floods are common and that causes for homes, crops, and businesses may be ruined. This is horrible, hopefully that doesn't happen were I live. I hope all the people that are affected by monsoons survive.

[12]

By the time I was done looking at the information, it was 8:38. I had fallen asleep. When I woke up the next morning, the rain had stopped and the monsoon was over. I was thankful to have survive or not get injured. The police was everywhere helping people. There are no laws to helping people but response teams are in place to help after the storm has passed. That is what I learned also on a website. The internet is a good source to figure out things to know to help people in need. I have learned a lot and hope you learn the things I’ve learned before you are stuck by an extreme storm. I will now live on with my life and survive more storms.

INDIANA WEATHER There are a lot of different types of weather in indiana!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK INDIANA’S WEATHER IS TODAY? How would you like to live in indiana? First you would probably know more about the seasons or weather. Here well Im going to tell you about it We have seasons in Indiana because the earths axis is tilted at an angle this means that earth is always pointing to one side as it goes around the sun so sometimes the sun is in the direction that the earth is ppointing but not at other times the varying amounts of sunlight around the earth during the year creating seasons [13]

In this picture it shows that Indiana’s weather is 85 digress!

The average temperature for January are 35/19, February 40/23, March 51/32, April 63/41, May 74/52, June 82/61, July 86/65, Aug 84/63, September 77/55 October 66/44, November 52/34, and December 39/24 What types of climates we have every season? winter-extremely cold springthunderstorms/ tornadoes summer-extremely hot/humid autumn-sunny/hot Where does our weather come from in Indiana? areas in the western part of the United States

and cold air sinking called convection if the warm surface is forced to rise it will continue to rise because it is less dense from the surrounding air

to hot the weather is both.If someone from alabama comes to indiana in the spring they would think that it is winter or some thing and they ware jackets.To everyone who lives hear would Lake affect snows say that Indiana is a are a sufficiently cold nice place to live air mass moves over because there is no a body of water bad weather or storms,no deadly Weather events that animals or plants and may cause flooding it is good because spring thaws, heavy there are no rain, flash floods, and mountains .Don’t you thunderstorms think indiana is a good place to live Other interesting because I do. weather things that happen in indiana -tornadoes thunderstormsblizzards.

Indiana has nice wether meaning in is the same in the Thunderstorms occur summer and winter.It when warm air rising is not to color and not [14]

WHAT DID WE LEARN ?

Dear readers, Extreme weather is all you need, just to find out more on your favorite storms or a way to keep safe from them. A lot of people think they know everything about storms, it’s not like you're a rocket scientist. Come on the adventure of mind expanding experiences of monsoons, blizzards, thunderstorms, tornadoes, Indiana weather, and hurricanes. “Wow” that is a lot right and enough to find what you need. These all are apart of natural, occurring, everyday incidents that you may be apart of. Can you be an expert on storms. Well sure you can all you need is this new edition magazine “Extreme Weather”.

I have learned how a hurricane work and how they are made.What they look like and what they do on and off land.How a thunderstorm can damage someones house and there life.What to stay away from in thunderstorm and to take shelter.

I learned that Kansas is one of the states with the most tornadoes each year. Also, that during a thunderstorm, the cold air and warm air combine so that the cold air falls as the warm air rises. Then the warm air will eventually twist into a spiral shape and forms the funnel cloud of the tornado. I learned that in an average year 1,000 tornadoes are reported each year.

Some of the things i have learned about thunderstorms are that there are differences between a severe thunderstorm watch and a severe thunderstorm warning. A severe thunderstorm watch is when a severe thunderstorm is possible in and near the watch area, and to stay informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued.

In the following days of working on this project I have learned various things. How blizzards form and what is so dangerous about them. What is a monsoon, what it does, and how it affects the area that is passes through. Also learned what a lake effect is and how it form. All these are the things I have learned and what I use to not know. Blizzards form when warm air rises above cold air. What is dangerous about blizzards are they cause frostbite, hypothermia, car crashes, and death. A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind and is a rainy season. Monsoons flow from west to east. Monsoons cause minimum of flooding, depending on the region.

What i have learned about weather in indiana is that Lake affect snows are a sufficiently cold air mass moves over a body of water.Weather events that may cause flooding spring thaws, heavy rain, flash floods, and thunderstorms
