The Great Whirlwind
The tornado-or twister, as it is commonly called is one of the most feared of all meteorological events. Every year scenes of horrendous
damage appear on our television screens to reinforce that fear.
This article explores the origination of this destructive and deadly storm. In addition, you will learn how you can best protect yourself should
you find yourself in a tornado's path.
The Birth of a Whirlwind
The giant whirlwind known as a tornado arises out of the formation of a cumulonimbus cloud, an enormous collection of vapor that can be as
much as 40.000 feet high. A cumulonimbus cloud can generate a thunderstorm.
Thunderstorms occur when a warm air mass converges on a cold one. The warm air rises to meet the cold air, causing a series of updrafts
and downdrafts. For a while, raindrops are held up by the updraft in the cumulonimbus cloud, but eventually the drops combine until they
are too heavy for the updraft to support. The result is the development of heavy rain, lightning, strong winds, and perhaps hail.
A severe thunderstorm can produce a tornado-a rotating column of air that generates a funnel cloud extending to the earth's surface.
Usually a tornado doesn't stay on the ground for more than a few minutes. In fact, many funnel clouds never touch ground. Tornadoes can
also occur over water. These storms are called waterspouts.
Tornadoes occur more frequently in the U. S. than in any other part of the world. The central part of the country is the most affected area due
to the collision of cold and warm air masses in the spring months. As the warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico moves northward, the area
of highest frequency of tornadoes moves with it. Thus, in February most tornadoes are in the central Gulf states; in March and April most are
in the southeastern Atlantic states, and in May and June most are in the area going north from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes states.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
