Tornado- Anthony


Dear Sarah,

The most incredible thing has happend, there has been a tornado warning for Phoenix, Arizona. Don't worry I'm fine for now until the tornado hits. You probably don't know much about tornado's since you're in Arizona, but ill refresh your memory.

A tornado is a column of air contracting with the ground and happens normally during a thunderstorm. Although mainly super cell thunder storms form a tornado. For a tornado to form air has to rise from the ground and rotate into a vortex. Tornado's normally come from funnel and wall clouds and can reach up to 300mph in speed. Also tornado's come from the front edges of cold moving air masses. If you would like to read more click here. Just don't worry about me I'll be fine.

Be home in a couple of weeks,
Anthony B
