Wirbelsturm Vom 17. Juni 1931
Eine Dokumentation des Tornados vom 17. Juni 1931. Neben einer kurzen Beschreibung der Wegstrecke werden auch die Zerst rungen bebildert.

Extractions: Der Wirbelsturm im Elsetal am 17. Juni 1931 Von einer Naturkatastrophe wurde die Stadt Plettenberg in den späten Nachmittagsstunden des 17. Juni 1931 heimgesucht: ein Wirbelsturm richtete binnen weniger Minuten insbesondere in den Ortsteilen des Elsetals erhebliche Schäden an Wohngebäuden, Fabrikanlagen, Verkehrseinrichtungen und Waldbeständen an. Landwirte verloren durch einstürzendes Mauerwerk und herabfallende Dachkonstruktionen ihr Vieh. Auch zwei Tote sowie vierzig Verletzte waren die Folge dieser Katastrophe. Es war ein Unglückstag, an den sich noch heute viele Plettenberger mit Schrecken erinnern und der weit über den heimischen Raum hinaus damals für Schlagzeilen in den regionalen und überregionalen Tageszeitungen sorgte. Der Weg des Wirbelsturms Folgt man den verschiedenen Berichten über die vom Tornado betroffenen Gemeinden, so nahm diese Naturkatastrophe südlich des Ebbegebirges im Raum Meinerzhagen/Derschlag ihren Anfang, ausgelöst durch zwei an den Seiten aufeinander prallende Gewitter. Hierdurch gerieten die Luftmassen in Drehung und erzeugten somit jenen gewaltigen Orkan. In Willertshagen, ein kleiner Ort östlich von Meinerzhagen, wurden bereits meterdicke Bäume entwurzelt, Dächer abgedeckt und ein im Bau befindliches Massivgebäude einer Hühnerfarm gänzlich zerstört. Ein großer Teil des Viehbestandes wurde vernichtet. Mehrere Hühner sollen vom Sturm sogar bis ins Ebbegebirge entflogen sein. Bei Rettungsversuchen erlitt der Besitzer der Hühnerfarm mehrere Rippenbrüche. Eine Frau, die Kühe von der Weide holen wollte, wurde in einen Stacheldrahtzaun geschleudert und erheblich verletzt.

The tornado that struck the town of Jarrell, Texas killed 27 people out of 1319 residents . Double Creek Estates, a subdivision of Jarrell, was literally wiped off the map with all 38 homes and several mobile homes destroyed In the early morning hours of May 27, a large Mesoscale Convective Complex developed over Eastern Oklahoma and Western Arkansas . A "gravity wave" or outflow boundary was generated by this system and stalled out over Central Texas. This was oriented from the northeast to the southwest, causing the movement of the supercells later on to be to the southwest, which is extremely unusual. Also unusual on this day was the low shear and extreme instability.

The neighborhood roads wound around to empty foundations. The damaged area had a definite beginning and end.

Tornado Hits A Village Near Sargodha-Pakistan. 10 Died & More Than Hundreds Inju
Extreme weather phenomena-tornado was reported in Sargodha region-Pakistan. The synoptic situation and subsequent damages are documented in this report.
http://www.angelfire.com/az3/azt_articles/wtrphenomena/chak_misran.html

Extractions: Khan, Azmat Hayat On 26th March, 2001 (1530LT), a tornado produced surface winds greater than 65 kts in Chak Misran village near Bhalwal area. This storm was much stronger-appearing on radar compared to a sqall-line of intense storms during late winter season. This paper documents the structure of this storm, as reflected by charts and visualized by satellite data. Synoptic History: March is the peak month of spring season and sufficient isolation towards end of month combined with polar continental air over upper parts of country results high degree of instability and produce violent thunderstorms. On 28th March, at 0500PST, continental air was penetrating into northern half of country. Also there was sufficient moisture influx from Arabian Sea upto 18000 ft. Right from surface to 18000 ft, charts depicted some what intense circulation over central Punjab with centre near Sargodha area that acted as a vortex of southwest relatively warm-moist currents and cold continental air from north-northwest.

Extractions: Autors i agraiments Un tornado és una perillosa perturbació meteorológica que es forma quan l'aire càlid i humit de les capes inferiors penetra a l'aire fred i sec de les capes superiors i és xuclat cap a la part superior en forma d'embut. Els efectes convinats d' una baixada ràpida de la presió i dels violents vents, que poden arribar a una velocitat de 600 Km/h , donant lloc a una força devastadora que pot destruir edificis sencers i aixecar cotxes i màquines de tren. Els tornados s'associen amb freqüència als ciclons tropicals que, en bufar per sobre dels continents, produeixen les condicions favorables a la seva formació. Un tornado medeix entre 40 i 200 m de radi i es desplaça a una velocitat mitja de 50Km/h durant uns quants minuts , però en algunes ocasions es produeixen "super-tornados " que tenen una vida molt més llarga que els altres. Índex Vam decidir fer aquest projecte d'una pàgina web sobre els tornados en català perqué després de buscar infructuosament pàgines web en català sobre els tornados no en vam trobar cap. A més també cal tenir en compte l'èxit de la pel.lícula Twister, que dóna a la pàgina una característica d'actualitat.
What Creates A Tornado?
Find out nature s recipe for creating a tornado and why the United States is the tornado capital of the world.
http://www.pa.msu.edu/~sciencet/ask_st/081397.html

Extractions: (Lansing State Journal, August 13, 1997) Recently, several tornado warnings and one tornado have hit our area. What is the recipe for a tornado? The ingredients are: a big thunderstorm; winds blowing from opposite directions; and a strong updraft. Strong updrafts surge up through storm clouds causing the cloud tops to bubble up and subside. A tornado can form when the air in these updrafts begins to rotate as opposing winds cause the storm to start spinning. This whirling mass of air and cloud is called a vortex and the spinning column of air within the vortex is called a mesocyclone. The air pressure in the center of the vortex drops as more air is sucked into it, although at the present time scientists do not know just how low the air pressure can get within the center of the vortex. As the mesocyclones get stronger they begin to shrink and spin faster. The familiar funnel shape of a tornado develops as the air pressure in the center of the vortex drops. As more and more air gets drawn into the funnel it accelerates upwards and the funnel stretches. Tornado Trivia: Wind speeds within a tornado may reach 600 miles per hour, and objects picked up by a tornado hurtle around it at the same speed. The United States is the tornado capital of the world with an average of 700 tornadoes per year. The U.S. has this many tornadoes because of west winds. Winds from the west are forced to stream over the Rocky Mountains. On the other side these winds encounter the low, warm, moist winds from the Gulf of Mexico. These two air masses collide over the central U.S and provide the possibility for tornado development. That's why Kansas had more than 1200 tornadoes from 1953 to 1980 while Alaska only had one.
