from Tricky TwistersJacqueline Adams

Last November 6, a tornado tore through Indiana, killing 23 people. It was thedeadliest tornado to hit the state in more than 30 years. But that was just thebeginning. Six days later, nine twisters whirled through Iowa, followed onNovember 15 by a line of thunderstorms that spawned 35 tornadoes across fivestates.

The twist: Spring is considered peak tornado season in the U.S., so peopleweren't expecting a funnel-filled fall. Plus, some of these twisters sprang up outof unusual storm systems. New research suggests that tornadoes may arisefrom unsuspected storms more often than once thought.

10 Recipe for Disaster

Whether it's springtime or fall, a tornado doesn't just strike out of the clearblue sky. These whirlwinds form inside of a thunderstorm. Three mainingredients are needed to cook up a thunderstorm: moist air near the ground,cold air above, and a trigger to make the moist air rise. “Where the air is forcedto rise, that's where thunderstorms are triggered,” says Paul Markowski, anatmospheric scientist at the Pennsylvania State University.

The rising air forms a cloud. The condensation, or water that changed fromvapor to a liquid, within the cloud produces warming that is critical to sustainthe thunderstorm.

20 If a fourth ingredient—wind shear—gets added to the mix, trouble reallybrews. That's because these wild winds, which blow at different speeds ordirections at different altitudes, can turn an ordinary thunderstorm into asupercell—a swirling thunderstorm most likely to produce a twister. Windshear causes the air to spin like a rolling pin. Then, the storm's updraft, orrising warm air, tugs the rolling column of air upward. Scientists think a tug-of-war between downdrafts, or cool, sinking air, and warm updrafts stretch therotating air column into a tornado.

Tornado Target

The Great Plains area, which extends from Texas to Nebraska, often30 experiences the perfect mix of ingredients for tornadoes, earning the region thenickname “Tornado Alley” (see map). In this region, warm, moist air blowingnorth from the Gulf of Mexico collides with drier air from the high plateaus ofMexico. This collision, called a dryline, causes the moist air to rise and formthunderstorms. The gradually sloping terrain of the Great Plains region helps

produce strong wind shear that's ideal for tornado formation. “Tornado Alleyhas more tornadoes than any other part of the world,” says Markowski.

Most of Tornado Alley's twisters form from supercells that develop onspring afternoons-when the sun's heat has had plenty of time to warm thesurface air. This warmer, less dense air rises, helping to trigger the40 thunderstorm.

Extra Ordinary

Most of what scientists know about tornado formation comes fromstudying supercells in Tornado Alley. But last fall's tornadoes show thatterrible twisters can form anywhere-sometimes even developing from acompletely different type of thunderstorm.

Some of last November's disasters began in a squall line. Unlike asupercell, this line made up of individual thunderstorms can stretch forhundreds of miles.

But how much of a threat do squall lines actually pose? To find out, Robert50 J. Trapp, an atmospheric scientist at Purdue University in Indiana, and hiscolleagues studied storm records and radar images of 3,828 tornadoes thatformed in the U.S. from 1998 to 2000. Their findings: Squall lines spin outtornadoes more often than previously thought, especially in regions outside ofTornado Alley. Overall, only 18 percent of the tornadoes they studied werespawned by squall lines. But when the team zeroed in on specific areas, someof the percentages were much higher. For example, they found that half of thetornadoes in Indiana-one of the states hit hardest last fall-spun out of squalllines.

In this article, author Peter Tyson ponders why the United States seems to host three-quarters of all the

tornadoes in the world.

from Tornado CountryPeter Tyson

Have you ever stopped to wonder why the Great Plains, and by extensionthe country as a whole, gets the lion's share of our annual planetary quota oftornadoes? I hadn't—mostly, I suspect, because I'm an East Coaster, and forus tornadoes lie in the realm of the freak occurrence. As we'll see, most peopleelsewhere in the world appear to feel similarly about tornadoes.

The answer, I found, is two-fold. It has to do with what you might expect(climatological conditions in the Great Plains are unparalleled for spawningtornadoes), but also with what might come as a surprise (very few nations evenbother to record tornadoes). One expert I spoke with believes that even10 countries that report their worst windstorms may be underreporting by a factor of seven. And "tornadic events" that get reported as a single tornado in a country with a nonexistent damage-assessment system might, with a bettersuch system, be found to have been 10 separate tornadoes—this makesassigning twister numbers by country even trickier.

The truth is, the U.S. very well may not get three out of every fourtornadoes that occur on Earth; it may just look that way.

Accident of Geography

The Great Plains has been likened to a funnel factory. It possesses all theingredients needed to produce, as one expert put it to me, “some hellacious20 thunderstorms”-the parents of tornadoes. In spring and early summer, warm,moist air blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico can become trapped beneath a"lid" of hot, dry air gusting from the high desert region of the Southwest and,above that, cold, dry air sweeping over the Rockies. Like a lid on a pot ofboiling water, this “convection cap” keeps the warm air from rising. Thepressure builds, until a cold front or other boundary between air masses movesin and weakens the cap. Quite suddenly, the warm, humid air can burst forth,billowing upwards at up to 100 miles per hour and swelling into 50,000-foot-tall thunderstorms in minutes.

Some of these thunderstorms begin rotating through most of their depth.30 (This happens because of wind shear, a dramatic change in wind speed ordirection over a very short distance.) Called “supercells,” these storms serve asideal generators of tornadoes, from those that scrape off a few shingles to thoserare, mile-wide monsters that leave nothing in their wake but cleared concretefoundations. “No other place on the planet has the source of warm, moist air onthe equatorward side and a wide, high range of mountains extending from north

to south on the west side,” says Harold Brooks, a tornado expert at the NationalSevere Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma. “The Andes aren't as wideas the Rockies, and the Himalayas don't extend very far from north to south.”

While the Great Plains gets the bulk of American tornadoes, other parts of40 the country witness them as well. Florida sees more twisters than Oklahoma,though they're far weaker. Cyclones also strike Colorado, and occasionally aripsnorter will touch down in other states. In 1979, I was living in Hartford,Connecticut, when a tornado raked through nearby Windsor Locks. Thattornado is fifth on a list of tornadoes that have caused at least $200 million indamage (in inflation-adjusted 1999 dollars). All 50 states, in fact, haveexperienced twisters.

All told, about 1,200 tornadoes occur annually in the United States. Theentire rest of the world collectively reports just 200 to 300 every year. Yet onlyin this country is the number of reported tornadoes roughly equal to the50 number of actual tornadoes in any given year. The U.S. began officiallycollecting tornado reports back in 1953 and rating tornadoes using the FujitaScale 20 years later. No other nation has such a robust or longstanding system.

As a sign of how lackluster tornado reporting is elsewhere, can you name asingle country outside the U.S. where tornadoes regularly occur? I couldn'tbefore starting this article. In fact, I couldn't remember hearing of a singletornado that ever struck anywhere else in the world. I'm sure I've heard ofsome, but they didn't stick in my mind.

Tornado Countries

Not surprisingly, the planet does have other tornado seedbeds, and some60 occasionally germinate twisters to rival the nastiest the U.S. has to dole out. Inraw numbers, Canada probably comes in second to the U.S. The sameclimatological regime that brings tornadoes to the southern Great Plains in earlyspring moves north through the year to unleash more of the same on westernCanada in July.

After the U.S. and Canada, Bangladesh and East India probably get themost violent tornadoes; they certainly suffer the deadliest. On April 26, 1989,the most lethal tornado on record swept Bangladesh, killing about 1,300 people,injuring 12,000, and leaving 80,000 homeless. High population density, flimsyhousing, and a nonexistent tornado warning system mean killer tornadoes are70 all too common there, says Jonathan Finch, a meteorologist at the NationalWeather Service in Dodge City, Kansas, who is an expert on that region'stornado climatology.
