LIGHTNING AND THUNDERSTORMS • Lightning Kills, Play it Safe Summer is the peak season for one of the nation's deadliest weather phenomena - lightning. In the United States, an average of 73 people are killed each year by lightning. That's more than the annual number of people killed by tornadoes or hurricanes. Many more people are struck but survive. However, they often report a variety of long-term, debilitating symptoms, including memory loss, attention deficits, sleep disorders, numbness, dizziness, stiffness in joints, irritability, fatigue, weakness, muscle spasms, depression, and an inability to sit for long. To learn more about lightning, be sure to check out the Quick Facts.
HURRICANES • The National Hurricane Center Home Page - The Tropical Prediction Center home page can provide hours of interesting investigation on the subject of hurricanes. Learn from the section on Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and about the history of noteworthy storms, hurricane direct hits on the mainland U.S. coastline and for individual states from 1900-1996 and lots more. • Hurricane Names - Hurricanes have names that are taken from a central list. Is your name there? Take a look at the names for the World-Wide Tropical Cyclone Names that are to be used for storms in the Atlantic and the Pacific as well as the waters around Australia, the Fiji Islands and India. • The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale - This scale is a 1-5 rating based on the hurricane's intensity. The scale is used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall. Wind speed is the determining factor in the scale, as storm surge values are highly dependent on the slope of the continental shelf in the landfall region. • Hurricane Tracking Chart - You can download this gif image of the Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to northern South America and the Gulf of Mexico to track Atlantic hurricanes. • Hurricane Basics - This booklet, in pdf format, provides you with the anatomy of a hurricane and the ingredients that make these killer storms come alive. Graphics help the reader understand how the storms form. As the heat and energy for the storm are gathered by the disturbance through contact with warm ocean waters, the winds near the ocean surface spiral into the disturbance's low pressure area.

TORNADOES • Tornadoes...Nature's Most Violent Storms: A Preparedness Guide - Including Safety Information for Schools. This web site was created from a booklet, published by NOAA, FEMA and the American Red Cross. It explains how tornadoes are formed and what steps need to be taken to stay safe. This site also contains a Tornado Safety Plan for Schools. • Questions and Answers About Tornadoes - This web site provides information about tornadoes in a simple Q&A format. It focuses on the need for safety, and it provides easy to understand text about the characteristics of tornadoes.
DROUGHTS • North American Drought: A Paleo Perspective - This site was designed to explain how paleoclimatic data can provide information about past droughts and about the natural variability of drought over timescales of decades to millennia. We note that droughts are a world wide phenomenon and affect the global community. However, the focus of these Web pages is North America.
WEATHER BALLOONS • The Weather Balloon - Learn about weather balloons - what they are, how they take observations, and how the information is used to predict the weather. Your machine will need to have the "RealVideo" plug-in and a sound card with speakers to access this information. • Weather Balloon Video (Small Image) - Watch a weather balloon being inflated and released, then listen to the signal from the instrument (radiosonde) attached to the weather balloon as it transmits data back to the ground where the data is plotted on a computer. This is a stamp-sized version at 390kb. Your machine will need to have the "RealVideo" plug-in and a sound card to access this information.
