Are you ready for a busy tornado season?

7/12/2019 (Permalink)

Experts say that tornado season could be very active this year in Georgia. Tornadoes are really unpredictable and sometimes they touchdown without much warning since it is very difficult to forecast, sometimes giving people less than 15 minutes to take shelter between the warning and the actual touchdown. Tornadoes kill an average of 60 people every year in America according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Tornadoes appear as funnel-shaped rotating clouds extending from the closed base to the ground. On average, they last less than ten minutes and they tend to move from southwest to northeast (but not always).
