Stormy Weather
CRASH BAM POW!!!! I am going to teach you all about 4 different kinds of storms: Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, and Blizzards. Have you ever been in one of those??? I have been in one, but maybe you haven’t. In New Hampshire sometimes we get Blizzards. But, not very powerful ones. I hope you never experience any of these storms.
Thunderstorms: A Thunderstorm comes in the form of cumulonimbus clouds. Lighting comes out of them, which can hurt you. Even though thunderstorms are big and powerful it still doesn’t last long. You can also tell how far away thunderstorms are by counting the thunder roars. If you count to 5 before the next rumble the storm is one mile away. If you count to 10 it is 2 mile’s away. Count to 25 and it is 5 mile away and so on.
Tornadoes: Imagine your house getting picked up by a big storm and being blown away, that is what a Tornado can do. Tornadoes have high winds and can pickup cars houses and people. If a Tornado comes, go to your basement or cellar. Tornadoes can also form over land or sea.
Hurricane: What if you were walking down the street a Hurricane started to form. That would be a big surprise. But that is what a Hurricane is. They are unpredictable. A Hurricane can also pickup cars and houses just like a Tornado. There is also 5 categories. You DO NOT want to experience a categorie 5. Hurricane forms over worm water. So if you live near the coast you might experience a Hurricane. They grow and become more powerful over the warm water.
Blizzards: A Blizzard is a storm that ice or snow can come out of. A Blizzard forms when warm air meets cold air. To make sure it is a blizzard, meteorologists have to make sure the winds are 35 miles or more. Also, to be a blizzard, the storm has to last for at least 3 hours. If there is a blizzard, make sure you stay nice and warm inside, or wear really warm winter clothes.
Stay safe from these storms bye
