The first outbreak occurred on November 6 affecting the Evansville, Indiana area, the deadliest since April 3, 1974. The second outbreak occurred on November 15 affecting the western Kentucky area. This outbreak included the nation’s strongest tornado for the year. November 6 Outbreak The deadliest tornado to strike Indiana since April 3, 1974 occurred around 2 a.m. on November 6. Twenty- four fatalities, 238 injuries, and nearly 90 million dollars in damage were inflicted by a single F3 tornado with a path length of 41 miles (below, right). A large mobile home park near the southern city limit of Evansville was the site of the vast majority of fatalities (bottom). Twenty of the 24 deaths were at the mobile home park. Three others, including a woman who was 8-months pregnant, died in a mobile home in neighboring Warrick County. One person died in a vehicle in Warrick County. Right: The F3 tornado traveled 41 miles in a northeasterly direction from just north of Smith Mills, Kentucky to Gentryville, Indiana. Below: Ground photo of the Eastbrooke Mobile Home Park after the street was cleared. The supercell thunderstorm which spawned the tornado developed over southeast Missouri. After crossing the Mississippi River, the thunderstorm continued to exhibit supercell characteristics as it tracked across southern Illinois, where isolated minor wind damage occurred. As the storm crossed the Ohio River into Henderson County, Kentucky, the rotation intensified and descended toward the ground. The tornado first touched down in agricultural bottomlands of the Ohio River several miles 4 west of Henderson (below, right). Even though the tornado passed between the urban centers of Evansville and Henderson, there were major casualties at a mobile home park and a horse-racing facility between the two cities. The tornado reached its peak intensity after entering Warrick County, Indiana, where a large number of homes and businesses were destroyed. In all, at least 500 homes and businesses were destroyed or severely damaged. The tornado dissipated as it crossed into Spencer County, Indiana. Above: Extensive damage at the Willowbrook Above: Scour marks on farmland southwest subdivision near the Warrick and peninsula of Vanderburgh in the Vanderburgh County line. County. The supercell thunderstorm which spawned the Evansville area tornado occurred within a broken line of thunderstorms. A few other cells in the line became supercells. Only one of these other supercells produced a tornado in the Paducah County Warning Area. The atmosphere became increasingly supportive of supercells during the several hours leading up to the event. A strengthening shortwave trough approaching from Missouri contributed to increasing wind fields and upper level diffluence in the near-storm environment. At the surface, a low pressure center located over northern Illinois, with a cold front trailing southwest across the Mid Mississippi Valley. Strong southerly low level flow advected surface dew points in the mid 60’s into the Lower Ohio Valley, resulting in sufficient instability for supercell convection. November 15 Outbreak On November 15, western Kentucky was at the heart of an outbreak of tornadoes, including the nation’s strongest tornado in 2005. The year’s strongest tornado struck the Madisonville, Kentucky area with F4 winds that injured dozens of people, destroyed 151 homes and businesses, and heavily damaged 67 others (shown on cover). Damage was estimated at 33 million dollars. Eyewitness accounts and damage patterns indicated the occurrence of multiple vortices near Earlington, where the most extreme damage was inflicted. Several houses were leveled in this area. See tornado map on the next page. 5 An F3 tornado tracked 44 miles across far western Kentucky, killing one person and injuring 20 others in Marshall County. The tornado was at its strongest in Marshall County, where the vast majority of the damage occurred. At a resort along Kentucky Lake, a campground and marina were destroyed (below, left), along with many boats and recreational vehicles. After crossing Kentucky Lake, the tornado left a swath of downed trees in the Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. The tornado then crossed Lake Barkley, struck a subdivision on the east shore of the lake, and lifted near I-24.

(Photo courtesy: David Forbis) Eleven other tornadoes, all of which were rated F0 or F1, were documented in the Paducah County Warning Area on November 15. Although there were three lines of thunderstorms with embedded supercells, it was the second line during the mid afternoon hours that spawned the significant tornadoes. All of the convection occurred ahead of a cold front that trailed southwest from a deepening surface low. The low tracked from southwest Missouri during the early morning to northern Illinois by early evening. A very powerful mid level shortwave trough rotated northeast from the southern Plains into the mid and upper Mississippi Valley by evening. A 500 mb wind speed of 110 knots was reported in the evening Lincoln, Illinois upper air observation. Southerly low level winds increased to around 50 knots at 2,000 feet during the day, providing more than adequate shear, moisture, and instability for tornadic thunderstorms.

In recent decades, however, open area beneath the main canopy in oak- forest researchers and managers in the East- hickory forests. Central United States have recognized that these tree species are not replacing themselves Human communities are dependent on these with new seedlings. Instead, another group of trees, too. Thousands of families eat dinner trees, most notably sugar maple, red maple, every night on oak tables or store their dishes and American beech, now make up the in hickory cabinets. Many other families in majority of the forest understory (Figure 1). As Indiana are supported by jobs producing those a result, Indiana’s forests are poised to change oak tables and hickory cabinets. Others enjoy dramatically in the future as a new group of recreation in forests with tall trees and open species comes to dominate the forest. This views that are characteristic of our oak-hickory change will impact the entire ecosystem by forests. But without young oak and hickory altering the habitat available to wildlife that trees in Indiana’s forests to replace the ones depends on our forests. we have now, the forest of the future, and the wildlife that lives there, may be very different.

  • The Indiana State Trails · Greenways & Bikeways Plan
    THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

    Coping with climate change risks and opportunities for insurers Chapter 7 Personal lines property business 7.1 Introduction 7.2 Setting the scene 7.3 Flooding 7.4 Storm 7.5 Subsidence 7.6 Extremes of temperature 7.7 Claims handling 7.8 Reinsurance 7.9 Key recommendations Please cite this paper as Dlugolecki, A. et al. (2009), “Coping with Climate Change: Risks and opportunites for Insurers.” Chartered Insurance Institute, London/CII_3112 Climate change research report 2009 1 © The Chartered Insurance Institute 2009 Chapter 7 – Personal lines property business 7.1 Introduction This chapter deals with the impacts of climate change on the Personal Lines Property account in the UK. The key issues are obviously flood, followed by storm and subsidence. Freeze is a diminishing problem in the UK with climate change raising average temperatures, particularly night-time ones. Climate change could increase the incidence of damage or loss of buildings through other hazards, such as forest fires, insect infestation, or mould, but these are unlikely to be significant, because the number of losses will be relatively small, or cover is not provided. Section 7.2 sets the scene. Flood is dealt with extensively in section 7.3. Sections 7.4, 7.5 and 7.6 look at storm, subsidence and briefly, extreme temperatures. Claims issues are covered more xtensivelye in section 7.7, then reinsurance in section 7.8. Section 7.9 restates the main conclusions and recommendations. Property cover and the respective regulations vary greatly from one country to another, as will the way that the climate changes in future, so this study focuses on the UK.

  • Environmental Education Resource Directory
    EE Resource Directory Introduction The Environmental Education Association of Indiana has compiled this directory to assist educators in selecting and accessing resources for environmental education in the classroom. Those who work with adults and non-formal youth groups, such as scouts and 4-H, may also find these resources useful in planning activities for meetings, workshops, camp, and other occasions. The directory is organized into two main sections, those organizations that serve the entire state and those that serve a limited area, such as a county or region. Within the two main sections, you will find public agencies, including federal, state, county, and city departments, and private organizations, such as soil and water conservation districts, conservation organizations, and individuals who are available to share music, stories, or songs. If you have corrections or additions to this list, please contact Cathy Meyer at Monroe County Parks and Recreation, 119 West Seventh Street, Bloomington, IN 47404, 812- 349-2805, How to Get the Most From These Resources The organizations and people listed here are experts who are willing to share a vast array of knowledge and materials with you. There are a few ways to make the most of your contacts with them. These contacts are intended primarily for use by adults, not for student research projects. Before contacting anyone, be clear about your educational objectives. Many of the programs are based on state science standards to help you in meeting educational requirements. Will your objectives best be met with classroom activities, activities using the school grounds, or visits to special sites away from school? Do you need activity ideas, supplementary videos, material or equipment to borrow, or a speaker? What level of understanding should students have after the program? What will they know beforehand and what will you do to follow-up? Many agencies offer preliminary training for teachers using their programs or they may have pre-visit or follow-up activities for you to use.
