     http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/weatherwise/factfiles/extremes/tornadoes.shtml
     
     Extractions: View this Illistration One of the most terrifying weather events is a fully developed tornado. The strong air currents within a storm cloud can create a high speed vortex (spiral) or funnel of winds. Wherever the end of the vortex touches the ground it creates a path of concentrated destruction that has no equal in nature. Near the core of a tornado, winds may spiral around at more than 480 km/h (300 mph). How are tornadoes created? Tornadoes develop near the boundary between the upcurrents and downdraughts in a storm cloud . A 'funnel cloud' develops first from the cloud base and this may then extend down to ground level. 'Waterspouts' are simply tornadoes that form over water rather than land. They tend to lose their energy as soon as they cross from water to land. Waterspouts are usually confined to shallow waters during warmer seasons.The destruction caused by tornadoes is due mainly to the violence of the winds. There is very low pressure at the centre of the vortex. If a tornado goes over a building it can explode outwards because of the sudden drop in pressure as the vortex passes over the building. Although they are usually less than 250 m across, they can travel a long way, sometimes more than 200 km (125 miles) across the land surface. They pick up material from the ground as they go, including cows, cats, dogs and other animals - including humans! They can be the source of some very

169. VORTEK LLC - INTRODUCTION
     Formed as an offshoot of Engineering Analysis, Inc., VorTek deals primarily with the seismic detection of tornadoes.  
     http://vortek.home.mindspring.com/
     
     Extractions: The third version of the Site Assessment of Tornado Threat (SATT 3.0) software is now available. Each year hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and approximately fifty to one hundred fatalities are caused by tornadoes, the most violent of all forms of atmospheric storms. In recent years, by means of Doppler radar, considerable success has been achieved in detecting tornadic storms, but such radar systems cannot determine when a tornado is actually in contact with the ground. As a result, the false alarm rate for tornados, based on the number of Tornado Warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS), is currently 80%. At the present time, actual sighting by storm spotters or other observers is the only accepted method for detecting when a tornado is on the ground. Based on the Seismic Detection of Tornadoes (SDT) concept, VorTek LLC possesses the capability to develop a series of networks in tornado-prone cities to remedy this situation by providing a longer-range, more reliable method of detecting tornados on the ground. VorTek was formed as an offshoot of Engineering Analysis Inc.

     Extractions: by Last update : 08 May 1999 ... What's New? : some notes added in the wake of the 03 May 1999 tornado disaster. cdoswell@earthlink.net The following is a hodgepodge of thoughts and viewpoints related to tornadoes, hopefully more or less coherent ... an essay stimulated by recent events but combined with thoughts that have been brewing for awhile. It is a personal view that contains perspectives that some might find offensive enough to question its presence on my work Website, so in the interest of avoiding whatever controversies are associated with having it reside on the latter, here it is. When Europeans first came to the U.S., they began to encounter tornadoes, almost certainly for the first time in their lives. They were astounded by their ferocity and frequency here in North America. Pummeling their villages and farms without warning, they inflicted terrible death tolls. As settlers pushed west, they encountered tornadoes with higher frequency and at higher intensity than in the Eastern states, but of course the sparse populations offset that to some extent. With the slow but steady growth of populations at risk, by the early parts of the 20th century, tornadoes were exacting a substantial price from the largely agrarian Midwest.
