Academy Science takes Natures Fury seriously!
Some of our leaders and youth attend NOAA Storm Spotter class. What do storm spotters do? When weather WX conditions are unstable enough to bring on a natures fury, storm spotters observe and report the weather phenomenon. NOAA WX warning needs to include concise details reporting answers to the following questions: a plain description of what (are you observing)?, when (what time is this occurring)?, where (physical location)?, damage (what harms to the community environment)?, and movement (of the phenomenon observed)?
What natures furies are we most likely to observe in our community environment? Wind, straight and rotating; thunderstorm TRW; mesocyclone; funnel cloud; tornado; wall cloud; shelf cloud; hail and lightning to name a few.
What is the most dangerous natures fury costing society the most loss of human life? Flooding, when people attempt to move from the safest possible place at the time, especially in a vehicle, and drown.
We learned weather terms like virga, scud and mammatus.
