I live in Minnesota and hate winter. My family and I have been talking about moving to a place with a great climate and I fell in love with the climate and Downtown photos of Tulsa, OK. I was wondering if it is different economically there. Will it be as easy to find a job with satisfactory earnings as it is here? I notices that the cost of living is significantly cheaper. But how much is a gallon of gas, or milk?

I need information on Tulsa, or on other nice places in the US that have a nice climate (preferably not much snow, no hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes or volcanoes. And I am not into cockroaches that are larger than the tip of my finger.

We are also used to living in the outskirts of a Metropolitan area, and enjoy hevily populated areas.

I have a powerpoint to do about severe weather. I am trying to get these videos from YouTube of footage of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc and my teacher wants proof that it can be used. She wants us to highlight and print off the Terms of Use page and show were we have the right to use these videos, clipart, photos, etc. Are all YouTube photos free to use? Can you show me where it says this? How can I save and upload them to my powerpoint? Thanks to everyone who helps OUT!

Ok. So a little information about us. I bought Zeke soon to be 4 yrs ago when he was 6.

Zeke is 16.2 hands sorrel breeding stock gelding. He is now 10, soon to be 11. He has white hairs throughout his coat (just not enough to be ‘roan’). He has white on his legs too but you can just see the pictures for a better idea.

Now for his story.
I bought him in spring of ‘05 and did some showing. In October of ‘05 he went lame on his left hind. He was put on some stall rest (per vet) and before the vet came, I took him for a hand walk (per vet) and he went crazy, loud pop and the next day when she came he was a 4 out of a 5 on the lameness scale. She thought he had fractured his pelvis. So from October ‘05 to March ‘06 he was on stall rest. Finally around March 10 he was allowed short small turnout. I would take him to the neighbors small indoor and turn him out for 10-20 mins at a time… I think I did this twice. March 12 came and we had a tornado. It actually came about on our friends (where we kept my horses) property and picked the barn up and tossed it into the tree line. This barn was amazing, all wood and super strong (built by the amish I believe. People have offered tons of money for this barn). And yes, Zeke was in the barn. He was picked up with it, as there was no way he could of gotten to where he was on his own. He was in the middle of a tree line on top of some of the barn and other pieces surround him. Some way or another a tightly rolled up section of red-wire fencing, though still tightley rolled up was up his back legs. We had to cut it off of him.

There was another tornado warning out and we had guys pushing and pulling to get him to move he was in so much shock. He had, obviously, cuts up his legs, on his belly, above his eye, etc. Finally we got him moving to my other neighbors (the one with the indoor) Quickly bandaged him and waited for the vet to come the next day. He had puncture wounds, but the vet couldnt feel any fractures, etc. and found no reason to xray due to soo much swelling. He seriously looked like the Michellin man.

To encourage some movement to get swelling down we let him in the indoor (mind you it was small, 60 ft in diameter). He would hardly move… only to get to the water, then walk to the door to soak some sun.

He was doing great to the point he was running and bucking and playing. No more swelling until April, he was going downhill.

Vet came out, stuck a needle in the leg that had swelled back up and pus flew out. Took xrays and he had three bone fragments… one of which was attached to a ligament in his right stifle.

Took him for surgery on April 25… with the outcome of maybe being pasture sound.

In july of ‘06 I took him to the State fair for a halter class only ( at this point he was allowed turnout again and walk/trot work) He placed 4 of 20 or so. At the UofI in Champaign during a check up he was cleared for all work. He does have a grade one lameness on his left hind at the slow jog. But thats all he came out of all this with, I was estatic!

In October ‘06 we went to Youth Charity Horse show and did some classes (cant remember placings) and just had some fun. We didn’t do any canter work till the day of the first class.

In summer ‘07 I took him to a friends and tried a cross rail for fun. We haven’t shown since Oct. ‘07 at the YCHS. We haven’t jumped at any shows either. Since then I have taken him over some jumps up the 3 ft just for fun. Come summer ‘10, I want to do what I bought him for, eventing. I am going to start him back with some H/J shows first and get us going again before we do an event. Since its been so long since we’ve shown together, I was thinking of a new show name. In the past I just used his registered name, but I want something that really suites him.

His registered name is Zippos Party Zeke. Hes out of Zippos San Bar and Party Time.

Hes great, Hes more of a womans horse, he doesn’t like ‘real’ horse men. (we think he might of been hit on a little by a man). But he does great with non horse people (men included) I can put anyone on him and he just knows what to do. He hasnt ever tested beginners. The more experience you have, he knows, and will see if you can ‘handle’ him. Ive given lessons on him and had students jumping him.

He goes over anything (jumping wise). He trail rides great (his favorite). Hes goofy too and always seems to stick his tongue out in trail riding pictures.

(Additional info: my other horses where in the pasture so they jumped the fence and took off when the tornado hit. They came home the next day unharmed besides one bruised foot. My friends property had 5 outbuildings, none survived. The house was ok, but unliveable.

Please do not critique my riding in these photos, I am only asking for a name from his looks, personality, past, etc.

Thanks. So

April 26, 1991 (no audio) This is a video of the F5 tornado that hit Andover, Kansas on April 26, 1991. This is the tornado at maximum strength. Yes, it was actually moving that fast. This is some very scary footage!

Video of a photogenic, yet damaging tornado in Blaine County, Oklahoma, that touched down the afternoon of March 2, 2008. This tornado was on the ground for over 10 minutes, and destroyed a small house. The video was shot by tornadovideos.net storm chasers, Don and Nicole G, Dave D, and John E.

I took my nephew to the park and we had a lovely time taking pictures. It was beautiful outside today.These pictures were taken at around 7:00 pm but just 12 hours earlier we were under a tornado warning and had some damage to our town, It was the complete opposite weather with clouds, rain, wind, and hail. Anyway I thought I would share that little bit of info. So what do you think of the portraits I would love any feedback. Thank You!

I took these with my brothers camera it was a canon and 7.2 mega pixels I can’t remember the exact module. My camera I normally use is a fujifilm finepix S2000HD so all of my other pics are taken with that one.

I’m a fanatic of supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes, it’s like an thing that i am hooked onto. I’ve started having the hobbies of watching tornadoes back when i first got my 1st computer when i was 12 years old, we had dial up back then but i used to watch storm chaser’s tornado videos like all day. I’m 19 years old right and i have a laptop and i keep a bunch of photos and videos that i shot of thunderstorms when it rolled through my town and i would upload it to youtube for sharing, i have dsl now. But would any wife would let their husband have this kind of hobby ? Sometimes during a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado watch i would go outside and snap photos of the clouds before it rained. I don’t know if any wives ever accept this kind of hobby. Would an hobby of something like this will ever get into a way of a relationship ? I consider myself as one of these guys who dedicate their lives photographing storms.

www.ultimatechase.com The EF-5 tornado that struck the small town of Greensburg, Kansas on May 4th , 2007 caused complete destruction. Over 95% of the town was completely destroyed. This 5 minutes video diary by Mike Theiss of ultimatechase.com shows the destruction in Greensburg and example of why tornadoes are so dangerous and why it’s important to get “underground”.

F5

this is the footage of the tornado that hit Elie, MB that reclassified it as the strongest tornado recorded in Canadian history. (footage taken by hutterites from nearby colony)

how can I make a non-moving HURRICANE not tornado model?? can anyone plz give me some ideas? a photo would b pretty 2….and I have to lable the hurricane model 2 thank you if u answered my question
wtf is taht long paragraph!!!!
thx 2 the girl who understanded what I was saying =D

Incredible video of a strong rope tornado in Lane Co, KS on May 23, 2008, from only a 1/2 mile away! TornadoVideos.net streaming unit #4 (Dave Holder and John Harris) shot this video from the west, as the sun illuminated the funnel bright white.

How do I get an email when a TORNADO SIREN goes off in IL?
I want to know when there is a tornado nearby. I would also like to get a photo of a tornado. Is there a service any place that will send me an email when there is a tornado in the area?

Did you ever read the Global Cooling article?

There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production– with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth. The drop in food output could begin quite soon, perhaps only 10 years from now. The regions destined to feel its impact are the great wheat-producing lands of Canada and the U.S.S.R. in the North, along with a number of marginally self-sufficient tropical areas – parts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indochina and Indonesia – where the growing season is dependent upon the rains brought by the monsoon.

The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologists are hard-pressed to keep up with it. In England, farmers have seen their growing season decline by about two weeks since 1950, with a resultant overall loss in grain production estimated at up to 100,000 tons annually. During the same time, the average temperature around the equator has risen by a fraction of a degree – a fraction that in some areas can mean drought and desolation. Last April, in the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars’ worth of damage in 13 U.S. states.

To scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent the advance signs of fundamental changes in the world’s weather. Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. If the climatic change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic. “A major climatic change would force economic and social adjustments on a worldwide scale,” warns a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, “because the global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.”

A survey completed last year by Dr. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveals a drop of half a degree in average ground temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere between 1945 and 1968. According to George Kukla of Columbia University, satellite photos indicated a sudden, large increase in Northern Hemisphere snow cover in the winter of 1971-72. And a study released last month by two NOAA scientists notes that the amount of sunshine reaching the ground in the continental U.S. diminished by 1.3% between 1964 and 1972.

To the layman, the relatively small changes in temperature and sunshine can be highly misleading. Reid Bryson of the University of Wisconsin points out that the Earth’s average temperature during the great Ice Ages was only about seven degrees lower than during its warmest eras – and that the present decline has taken the planet about a sixth of the way toward the Ice Age average. Others regard the cooling as a reversion to the “little ice age” conditions that brought bitter winters to much of Europe and northern America between 1600 and 1900 – years when the Thames used to freeze so solidly that Londoners roasted oxen on the ice and when iceboats sailed the Hudson River almost as far south as New York City.

Just what causes the onset of major and minor ice ages remains a mystery. “Our knowledge of the mechanisms of climatic change is at least as fragmentary as our data,” concedes the National Academy of Sciences report. “Not only are the basic scientific questions largely unanswered, but in many cases we do not yet know enough to pose the key questions.”

Meteorologists think that they can forecast the short-term results of the return to the norm of the last century. They begin by noting the slight drop in overall temperature that produces large numbers of pressure centers in the upper atmosphere. These break up the smooth flow of westerly winds over temperate areas. The stagnant air produced in this way causes an increase in extremes of local weather such as droughts, floods, extended dry spells, long freezes, delayed monsoons and even local temperature increases – all of which have a direct impact on food supplies.

“The world’s food-producing system,” warns Dr. James D. McQuigg of NOAA’s Center for Climatic and Environmental Assessment, “is much more sensitive to the weather variable than it was even five years ago.” Furthermore, the growth of world population and creation of new national boundaries make it impossible for starving peoples to migrate from their devastated fields, as they did during past famines.

Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.

TornadoVideos.net storm chasers captured this video of a large 1/4-1/2 mile wide tornado in Stafford County, KS on May 5, 2007. They closed within a few hundred yards of the tornado as it passed in front of them…thankfully missing a house. This tornado was EXTREMELY violent. The contrast was adjusted to how the tornado appeared in reality.

1953 Flint / Beecher Michigan F - 5 tornado 116 life’s lost and 1000 injured. no Tornado since has a greater death toll, in America, still in the top ten disasters of American History,, two other very bad tornados that year one in the day after mothers day 1953 Waco Texas 114 life’s lost , and one in Worcester Massachusetts 94 life’s lost the next day after the Flint - Beecher tornado, it was the same storm cell that hit flint,, and it started in Texas

i mean, the tornadoes in ontario they were fierce. 120 homes damaged, one eleven year old killed and many injured.. its like the world is getting worse as 2012 is only 3 years away !

Okay.
A young boy named Sam is taking a hike in the woods to get away from his life, and he finds the dead body of a man who committed suicide. In one of his hands is a camera. Sam takes the camera and looks at it when he is home. There are over 6 billion pictures on it- all of people- including Sam. Sam starts receiving letters that say strange things like "On Friday, 280 will die in a Tornado. You will choose."
Sam starts seeing strange apparitions of a dead boy who tells him to destroy the camera. Sam soon realizes that on the camera is a picture of everybody in the world, and when he deletes the photos, the people will die, and that everyone’s fate is in his hands.
