Keep yur eyes n the sky— it lks like this year will be a big year fr trnades (飓风). As f the first week in April, there have already been 445 trnades in the United States. Last year, there were nly 96 trnades by the beginning f April. Accrding t the Natinal Oceanic and Atmspheric Administratin (NOAA), a gvernment agency that studies the envirnment, this marks the strngest trnad activity in the first three mnths f any year since 1999. Previus years with a busy start have prduced high numbers f trnades thrughut the year.
Fr thse living in “Trnad Alley” frm west Texas all the way up t Nrth Dakta, springtime is trnad time. What exactly causes a trnad? Trnades frm when wet and war m air is caught under dry and cl air. When the warm air rises, it upsets the cl air, spinning the air int a funnel-like shape (漏斗形). The spinning air is fficially called a trnad nce it tuches the grund. These trnades can reach extremely high speeds, smetimes mre than 250 miles per hur!
Scientists try t measure the speed and damage f trnades using what is called the Fujita Scale, r F-scale. The scale ranges frm FO, with winds under 73 mph, t F5, with winds between 261 and 318 mph. Vilent trnades in the F4 and F5 grades smetimes last mre than an hur, and cause tremendus damage, ften destrying everything fr hundreds f miles. Frtunately, these accunt fr less than l percent f all trnades.
If the first three mnths f this year are any indicatin, there are mre trnades t cme. Remember, the best way t stay safe during a trnad is t find shelter in the basement (地下室) f a strng building, aviding windws. Experts warn against trying t escape a trnad in a car.
