Tornadoes

Ahhh... Tornadoes. So destructive. So deadly. And to think, all of this can last only 3-25 minutes. I've never seen a tornado, but maybe you have, and you lived, because your reading this right now. So, a tornado can be catergorized based on size, and destruction. here are the five kinds:

F1-Moderate. Can turn your car upside down.
F2- Major. Can blow the roof off and turn mobile home over.
F3-Severe. Forest and farmlands flattened. Walls blown off.
F4-Devastating. Blows off all walls, if any left. And well built homes.
F5- THE MOTHER OF ALL TORNADOES!- if this passes near you, everything, gone. In a few minutes, your house, and yes, you also will be gone.


Oh yes there are two other tornadoes i wanna talk to you about. The F0 and the F6:
F0-  Minimal. Can blow your chimney off.
F6- WOAH! The tornadoes in 2012. As if that'll happen.

Sadly, Usually people who've seen an F5 haven't lived to tell. here's a story of a courageous survivor who did.

"One amazing survivor's story was radio reporter Rick Douglas, who was caught in the tornado after attempting to take shelter in an overpass, when attempting to report on the storm for the station. The tornado carried Douglas one block away. When he arrived at an area hospital, a nurse placed a cover over Douglas' face -- believing he had perished -- which he pulled off, to which Douglas says the nurse winced when that happened.
Douglas was found with dirt and debris covering his body, and in an interview with The History Channel's Wrath of God special on the tornado, it is said that Douglas found shards of debris in his skin for several years after the tornado and was left with a smell he described as "a mix of blood, guts, wood and metal" on him for several weeks."

I Think Thats enough for today. SuperSara will be at'cha here soon with another SuperSaraSpectacularScienceBlogOfSupernes!!
