It also makes it easier for people to remember the storm and where it is. This helps for people to also know exactly what storm it is, when it will hit, and where it will hit. This also helps to organize the hurricanes because the names go in alphabetical order, so you know the order of the storms that hit recently.

Tornadoes do not have names however, and this is because they last so short and are easier to tack, so they do not need a name to know where they are. On average, they last about ten minutes, and although they can go anywhere, they do not have enough time to move as much as a hurricane, and form and leave almost too quickly to track.

In most places where tornadoes hit, they have dry weather, however we do not. Also it depends on the type of winds you receive from different places. You need warm moist air, usually from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool dry air, usually from Canada. However we are not too close to either, so it is pretty rare to get a tornado in New Jersey.

Only the worst tornadoes get names like the tri-state tornado that kill about 700 people. Tornadoes don't get names because they last such a short time that when you have come up a name for the tornado, the tornado has probably ended already. If they did name tornadoes, they would run out quickly since there are thousands of tornadoes each year.]]> 2018-02-08 17:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229711087 Katie Lautenberg https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229720377 Scientists name hurricanes for many reasons. One reason is that it helps people communicate easily about the dangerous storm. It also helps people to remember the hurricanes and when they occured. They name them so that people can stay safe in the dangerous times. However, tornadoes are not named. This is because they occur more often and are not as special as hurricanes. Also, they can not be tracked for as far in advance, so they would not have time to be named. Lastly, tornadoes last a shorter amount of time, so people would not have to keep referring to the same storm. Therefore, both storms are named or not named for safety reasons.

This is achieved through satellites and radar systems. Two categories determine a prediction, seasonal probability and current storm tracking. The process starts in late April, and after they find a storm or predict where a storm may be coming, they can start tracking a route for the storm. The most accurate route tracking will happen three to five days in advanced. By analyzing trends in data, storms can be predicted almost 10 years in advance. To get more reliable results, they measure levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Therefore, scientists can predict hurricanes through recent technology advances up to ten years in advanced.

In New Jersey the spring and summer are not as hot as places like Texas. That is why tornadoes are so uncommon in this area. They are also uncommon because we live on the shore and tornadoes need dry places to form. This is probably why we get more hurricanes than we do tornadoes.

They don't name the tornadoes because, apparently CNN claims that they just aren't as special as huge snow storms and hurricanes. Also I believe that it's also because tornadoes aren't as rare as hurricanes and seveire snowstorms (and other huge storms).

Scientist began to name hurricanes so that they can indicate what time period, geographic location and intensity. Hurricanes also have names because they are easily communicated around the globe. Tornadoes are not named because they come with little death toll and little damage in a wide are of land. Tornadoes are way more weak than hurricanes therefor they need no name to track it.https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/6/16255962/hurricane-harvey-irma-noaa-naming-world-meteorological-organiz https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229839530 Ryan Stewart

Scientist thought that over time it would get very hard to remember all these years that tornadoes have occured in. Eventually they realized that if they gave the hurricanes easy, simple names then it would be a lot easier to track. They also did this in the case of more than one hurricane occurring at once, which is something we have been experiencing lately. The reason that scientist don't name tornadoes are for two reasons. One reason is that tornadoes occur in the span of about 20 seconds to 6 minutes, no one can really tell, which makes it harder to name every tornado that happens. It is also because they are very hard to track so you can't name them. ]]> 2018-02-09 01:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229872432 People who still live in tornado alley have shelters that are local or that can be made. people who continue to live there after all the tornadoes have plan for when one hits. The shelters have hard surfaces and are underground areas that can be filled with people and stored with supplies used for these people like food and flashlights. These can be local or your own. Some are not all underground, you can have hard protective above ground ones, and some people can gat a dome roof that is protective. - Katie o'Brien o_brienk1 https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229881886 https://www.arkansasstormshelter.com/]]> 2018-02-09 02:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229881886 Peter Komosinski https://padlet.com/masaro1/1mshx1fzkm7x/wish/229882163 Meteorologists long ago learned that naming tropical storms and hurricanes after people helps people remember the storms, communicate about them more effectively, and so stay safer if and when a particular storm strikes a coast. These experts assign names to hurricanes according to a formal list of names that is approved of before the start of each hurricane season. In the United states, scientists simply don't find other natural disasters as special, so that is why tornadoes are not named. Scientists believe this because over the course of history, hurricanes were known to cause much more damage. Also being that tornadoes only last for a short amount of time, this is another reason of why scientists do not name them.

It is extremely rare for them to occur in winter, but it can happen and is definitely not impossible. Winter tornadoes are more deadlier because they can mix with rain, making them seem to be a thunderstorm when in reality it is not. Also, because in winter daylight hours aren’t as much as they are in summer, winter tornadoes mostly occur in the night or early morning, when most people are asleep. Because of this, many people can die without even knowing there was going to be a tornado. In Alaska there have been only 4 recorded tornadoes since 1950 and all were rated EFO, which is the lowest tornado rating. This means those 4 tornadoes weren’t at all serious just some damage was made.

This area is suited to bring all of the ingredients together to forms tornadoes. More than 500 tornadoes typically occur in this area every year and is why it is commonly known as "Tornado Alley." Weather conditions and climate in this part of the world is best for tornadoes to form, which is why New Jersey has rarely ever seen a tornado. But, surprisingly New Jersey has been hit once or twice.

However, the larger the shelter, the more money it will cost because of how much material and installation cost.
If you want to tornado proof your basement is should be flood proof, shaped (essentially) like a long, triangular box, a strong door, and a strong skin to provide protection from high winds. This is how big a tornado shelter has to be and how you can tornado proof your basement.

This is unlike the midwest which gets extremely hot in the summer and has frequent thunderstorms. So, when the hot air rises and meets the cold air coming from the thunder storms, it forms a tornado. This is why tornadoes are not as common in New Jersey.
