Hi All,Check out this link from the Mother Nature Network. Said link is titled '6 Snowstorms That Crippled the East Coast'. Included are 2 or 3 paragraph length descriptions of the storm - interesting. And there are photos to boot!
And speaking of extremes...click on this link from USAToday to view an article titled, 'All of California in Severe Drought For 1st Time This Century'.
Extreme heat is becoming more of an issue lately...click on this link from Ready.gov for an article called 'Extreme Heat'. It'll explain how readers can deal with extreme heat and stay 'cooler'. There is also a link for 'More Information about Extreme Heat'.
Under the rubric of extreme wind comes Tornadoes and Hurricanes. Click on this extensive article from Wikipedia that discusses Tornadoes. The article includes definitions of funnel clouds, characteristics of tornadoes, life cycle, types and a large section on tornado detection.
One of the most reputable and well know websites about hurricanes is the National Hurricane Center. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration hosts the site. I could spend whole blog entries on this extensive, current, unbiased, easily-navigable website. However, I won't. I will, however, discuss some of the best parts of the site.
The National Hurricane Center site is available on various devices and in various formats. There are links to Cyclone Advisories, and Audio/Podcasts,
In addition, users can find marine forecasts for the Atlantic and East Pacific.There are links for Storm Surges, Wind Scales, Most Extreme Storms and Forecast Models. And there is much, much more...
Enjoy the sites!
Regards,
Stu
