Family Photographs Chapter 1

“Mom, I’m home!” said John when he got home after school.

“Okay!” his mom shouted back. John found her and told her that he had a project for school to do.

“What is it?” she asked.

“We have to bring in old family photos,” John said.

“There are some family photos on the desk over there,” she said.

“Thanks,” said John. A little while later John was sitting down at his desk looking at family photos. Then, he realized the same dog was in every picture! The very same husky with bright blue eyes, gray and white fur, and the same happy face! John was flabbergasted. He ran to show his mom.

Hurricanes, Tornadoes and Blizzards

There are many different types of extreme weather. They all share some common factors such as high winds and some type of water. Most extreme storms can cause a lot of damage.  Hurricanes form over warm water bodies. A tornado is also called a twister. A blizzard is called a well, blizzard. By now I think you know what the topic is today. It is hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards.  Let’s start with hurricanes.

Did you know that hurricanes kill more people than all the other storms combined?They kill a estimated 1,200 people in the United States. They can uproot trees. They can blow the roofs off houses. They are common in warm tropical climates. They are rated on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It is a little long I call it a SSHW Scale. They are the worst storm in some peoples opinion. When they get here they have lost most of their power. Like tornados they are rated on a 5 ratings scale.

A typical hurricane can last up to 4 × as many hours.(12 hours). They can last anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. Hurricane John lasted 31 days. That is a whole month! There no difference between hurricanes and typhoons. A hurricane and a typhoon and a cyclone are the same thing! They just have different names.

Similar to hurricanes, tornados can be very dangerous. Tornadoes are rated on a EF Scale. (Enhanced Fujita Scale.) They can can have winds up to 300 miles per hour. They can uproot trees also. They form a lot in the Tornado Alley. Because warm, humid air from Mexico comes up and cold, dry air from Canada comes down they form a tornado.

Another storm is a blizzard. It I can be hard to see in blizzards. That is called white-out. For a blizzard to be a blizzard it has to be these 3 things. 1, Sustained winds or frequent gusts of wind greater than 35 miles per hour. 2, They have to have visibility under ¼ of a mile. 3, They have to be sustained for a least 3 hours.

I know that I didn’t say that I would do thunderstorms but here we are. I’ll do super-cell thunderstorms too. But I’ll do thunderstorms first. Thunderstorms are a big rain shower accompanied by lightning really. Some people don’t know but thunder is lightning. Thunder is just the sound of lightning. You see lightning before you hear thunder because light travels faster than sound.

Now a little about super-cells. Super-cells create the worst tornados. They have everything a regular thunderstorm has and more! It has hail and tornados sometimes. Super-cell thunderstorms are a lot stronger than regular thunderstorms. The hail can be as big as baseballs!

There are many different types of dangerous storms out there, so stay safe if one comes to you.

Hurricane Katrina

ABCya

ABCya is a website full of educational games for kids. There are games for kids in K-6. Even if you are in a grade higher than 6th you can still play in the 6th grade. For every grade there are the same category: Letters, numbers, holiday, strategy and skill. I created this on ABCya:

Meet the Kraken

I am a Kraken. Yes you there is more than one of us. You might be scared but the sailors were lying. They said that I did bad things but I thought that their ship was a toy for me. I am sorry. I may or may not have eaten a few sailors but they looked good. You might not be reading this post and if you are you are probably wondering how I am doing this. Edward isn’t home. Wait, here he comes got to go bye!
