A rare fire tornado has been seen in the Brazilian state of Sao Paolo. A whirlwind of flame, spiralling several metres high, danced across burning fields, bringing traffic to a halt on a nearby highway. This unusual phenomenon has been caused by a combination of wildfires and strong dry winds following weeks of drought in the country. Authorities in Brazil are struggling to contain the fires and have banned farmers from burning waste from the sugar cane harvest.

I understand that the Weather Service uses two types of alerts: Watches and Warnings.
Watch - conditions are favorable, and a tornado might happen today.
Warning - Seek shelter NOW!
15-20 years ago, a tornado warning meant "there’s a tornado on the ground, seek shelter NOW"
Today, it’s "there’s a thunderstorm spinning overhead. It might produce a tornado, but it often doesn’t".
To me, that shows a need for a third level of alert.
Watch - Don’t plan on spending the day outside.
(whatever the new term is) - Spinning thunderstorm in the area.
Warning - Seek shelter NOW! - Tornado on the ground.

A violent F5 tornado develops near Kellerville, Texas on the evening of June 8, 1995. I’m joined on this chase by veteran storm chasers Bobby Prentice and Richard Thomas.

If anyone can help that’d be awesome!!!!!!!!!!
we are under a tornado watch, but appear to be clear of thunderstorms. Is it possible to have a tornado without actually having a thunderstorm or rain clouds? Can tornados form out of regular old clouds due to wind sheer from a tropical system?
3. What kind of shape is associated with a middle-latitude cyclone?
4. What is the first stage of a thunderstorm?
5. The center of a tornado is characterized by its

It’s quite the thunderstorm slash tropical storm here where I live, but besides that little detail. I was wondering what are some good animes to watch? That are sort of like Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura? And not neccessairly the magic/power aspect of it, though that is good but school life, comedy, romance, drama, slice of life kind of thing? Hmm? So what can I watch?
P.S. Does anyone know where I can find Wallflower the manga again online? I seriously cannot find it anywhere. I am slightly depressed. It has another name but I don’t know it, so give me some help and suggestions.
P.S.S. And welcome all you bastards who have a stupid ass comment to leave I have no problem reading and laughing at your immaturity. Honestly.

On the evening of 14th September 2009 typhoon Koppu passed to the south of Hong Kong bringing extreme winds and pounding storm surge. Fellow storm chaser Andrew Glanville and I recorded a wind gust of 98mph and filmed winds well in excess of 100mph.
This compilation featuring the Wichita/Andover Tornado of April 26, 1991 features many rarely seen videos of the storm. This segment originally aired on KWCH-TV in Wichita on May 4, 1991.

All the global-warming goons like to show us how "smart" they are by blaming all the thunderstorm, tornadoes, and hurricanes on global warming. They like to forget that it is SUMMERTIME here in the northern hemishere, and this is when such activities as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes are at their PEAK!
Is there global warming? Well, that depends on your definition of global warming. Do you consider a rise of half a degree celcius a manifestation of global warming or a minor oversight of the thermometers the scientists used?
Better yet, could the SUN be the cause for global warming? These goons like to think that everything is static from their limited perspective, and that the sun has no cyclic activity.
"Sun spots? Those don’t mean anything," is what they will tell you. However, there are data that illustrate otherwise.
Time was, when the sirens went off, you had 2-3 minutes to get to the shelter.
About 8PM in KC, the sirens went off near my apartment, but the warning only indicated "a thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado".
Too many false alarms, and people will start ignoring them.
This was taken on the west side of Aurora, NE in the evening of June 17, 2009. I’m amazed at these wonders and love the excitement of seeking out a new adventure. This was definitely an adventure. I was completely safe during the taping of this as I had an escape route planned if it started moving towards me. It sat in the same spot for 18 minutes. I’m not a professional storm chaser, nor do I claim to know everything about tornados, so when listening to the audio you are hearing the …
