CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Straight Line Wind Fact Sheet AM I AT RISK? Since most thunderstorms produce some straight–line The term “straight–line” wind is used to differentiate the winds as a result of outflow generated by the thunderstorm damage they cause from tornado damage. Strong, downdraft, anyone living in thunderstorm–prone areas is at damaging winds can come from a number of different risk. Damage from severe thunderstorm winds account for thunderstorm processes. Most thunderstorm winds that half of all severe reports in the lower 48 states and is more cause damage at the ground are a result of outflow common than damage from tornadoes. Wind speeds can generated by a thunderstorm downdraft. Damaging winds reach up to 100 mph and can produce a damage path are classified as those exceeding 50–60 mph.

This is one of the first attempts of a European country to investigate morphological and precipitation archetypes of MCSs as prior studies were mostly based on satellite data. Despite its ubiquity and significance for society, economy, agriculture, and water availability, little is known about the climatological aspects of MCSs over central Europe. Our results indicate that MCSs are not rare in Poland as an annual mean of 77 MCSs and 49 days with MCS can be depicted for Poland. Their lifetime ranges typically from 3 to 6 h, with initiation time around the afternoon hours (1200–1400 UTC) and dissipation stage in the evening (1900–2000 UTC). The most frequent morphological type of MCSs is a broken line (58% of cases), then areal/cluster (25%), and then quasi- linear convective systems (QLCS; 17%), which are usually associated with a bow echo (72% of QLCS). QLCS are the feature with the longest life cycle.

BENTLEY NOAA/National Weather Service, Portland, Oregon (Submitted 19 February 2017; in final form 25 August 2017) ABSTRACT A pair of intense, derecho-producing quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) impacted northern Illinois and northern Indiana during the evening hours of 30 June through the predawn hours of 1 July 2014. The second QLCS trailed the first one by only 250 km and approximately 3 h, yet produced 29 confirmed tornadoes and numerous areas of nontornadic wind damage estimated to be caused by 30‒40 m s‒1 flow. Much of the damage from the second QLCS was associated with a series of 38 mesovortices, with up to 15 mesovortices ongoing simultaneously. Many complex behaviors were documented in the mesovortices, including: a binary (Fujiwhara) interaction, the splitting of a large mesovortex in two followed by prolific tornado production, cyclic mesovortexgenesis in the remains of a large mesovortex, and a satellite interaction of three small mesovortices around a larger parent mesovortex.

    Tornado Unit Study & Lapbook Tornado Book by Betsy Byars Literature based unit study by Rose Ann Kuhns Chapter 1: Social Studies - President Lincoln - In our story, the boy's father was named after Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was born February 12, 1809 in a small, one-room cabin in Kentucky to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln. Neither of his parents were educated, so when Abe eventually went to school to learn to read and write, his parents must have been very proud of him. But he wasn't in school for long. When Abe was 7 years old, his family moved to Indiana. Thomas Lincoln was opposed to slavery, which at that time was legal in Kentucky, and that was one reason he decided to move the family to Indiana where slavery was not allowed. There was no school near their new home. About a year later, his mother died and soon afterwards his father married again. Eventually there were enough pioneers in their area that a school and church were built, and Abe and his sister were able to once again attend school. Abe grew to be a tall young man and read everything he could get his hands on. He would walk for miles to borrow a book from someone. Abe Lincoln only had about 18 months of formal school--everything else he learned on his own by reading. As he approached adulthood, he began to read law books and listened to men talk about politics. He grew very tall and became known for his honesty.

INTRODUCTION and BACKGROUND since 1954 was attributable to the weakest (F0) bin of damage rating (Fig. 1). This is the very class of Tornadoes from tropical cyclones (hereafter TCs) tornado that is most common in TC records, and most pose a specialized forecast challenge at time scales difficult to detect in the damage above that from the ranging from days for outlooks to minutes for concurrent or subsequent passage of similarly warnings (Spratt et al. 1997, Edwards 1998, destructive, ambient TC winds. As such, it is possible Schneider and Sharp 2007, Edwards 2008). The (but not quantifiable) that many TC tornadoes have fundamental conceptual and physical tenets of gone unrecorded even in the modern NWS era, due midlatitude supercell prediction, in an ingredients- to their generally ephemeral nature, logistical based framework (e.g., Doswell 1987, Johns and difficulties of visual confirmation, presence of swaths Doswell 1992), fully apply to TC supercells; however, of sparsely populated near-coastal areas (i.e., systematic differences in the relative magnitudes of marshes, swamps and dense forests), and the moisture, instability, lift and shear in TCs (e.g., presence of damage inducers of potentially equal or McCaul 1991) contribute strongly to that challenge. greater impact within the TC envelope. Further, there is a growing realization that some TC tornadoes are not necessarily supercellular in origin (Edwards et al. 2010, this volume). Several major TC tornado climatologies have been published since the 1960s (e.g., Pearson and Sadowski 1965, Hill et al.

We present an approach for combining pre-disturbance forest inventory data with post-disturbance aerial survey data to produce design-based estimates of affected forest area and number and volume of trees damaged or killed. The approach borrows strength from an indirect estimator to adjust estimates from a direct estimator when post-disturbance remeasurement data are unavailable. We demonstrate this approach with an example application from a recent windstorm, known as the 2020 Midwest Derecho, which struck Iowa, USA, and adjacent states on 10–11 August 2020, delivering catastrophic damage to structures, crops, and trees. We 3 estimate that 2.67 million trees and 1.67 million m of sound bole volume were damaged or killed on 23 thousand ha of Iowa forest land affected by the 2020 derecho.
