Tule fog is a very thick fog that collects in parts of California during the rainy season of the late fall and winter. It has also been known to gather from Bakersfield to chico and occasionally in San Francisco. Tule fog is a type of radiation fog that is created due to the rising of warm air. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-tule-fog.htm The cold mountain air descends into the San Joaquin Valley and usually forms Tule fog on the first or second clear night after it has rained, skies are cleared and winds are light. This happens when high-pressure returns, creating an inversion with colder air near the earth's surface than aloft.
Which category a hurricane is put under is decided by storm’s wind speed. The higher the category the more deadly the storm becomes. Large storms at sea cause huge waves that can roll over tanker ships and other top heavy vessels. The most powerful part of a hurricane is it’s eye wall. The eye wall is where the heaviest rain and the most powerful wind is located.
The associated air masses of storms within the British Isles are Polar maritime and Tropical maritime. As these two bodies of air move towards each other the warmer, less dense air from the south rises above the colder, dense air from the north. Circulations of low pressure then develop at points where the air is rising vigorously, this then coincides with waves in the polar front and jet stream. As a consequence there is much unsettled weather including heavy rain, strong winds and a variety of stormy cumulus clouds form; all of which can have devastating impacts socio-economically for an area as well as on the environment. The storm of 1987 occurred on the 15th and 16th of October due to a depression forming within the Bay of Biscay and had disastrous effects on the south and south-east of the UK.
STRONG STORMS: Winter storms with snow, ice and freezing temperatures in various combinations, are fairly commonplace at Ashford University. A potential for emergency exists when such storms also result in loss of electric power, leaving people without adequate heating capability. Heavy wet snows of early fall and late spring cause most power failures, however ice storms can also cause power outages. Emergency Plan 3 Concept of Operations 1. Operations conducted under this plan require a rapid and coordinated response by the Crisis Response Communication Center (CRCC) Located in St. Clare Hall, A268, the CRCC is designated as the primary control point for coordination and handling of the University’s response to Level 5 emergencies occurring on
Due to this convergence (where winds move to a center point), air is forced to rise over that area. If enough moisture is available, the rising air cools and condenses (as cold air cannot hold water vapor below a certain temperature) into tiny water droplets which constitute the cloud. So, low pressure areas are usually the birth-place of clouds. Sometimes, particularly in the winter, fog forms over a high pressure area due to radiation cooling(due to clear sky conditions over a high pressure area).This fog sometimes lift and forms thick low cloud called "anticyclone gloom".

A. Weather that precedes a tornado is often chaotic. 1. According to Snowden Flora, in his book, Tornadoes of the United States, several hours of warm, humid, and oppressive weather usually precede the formation of a tornado (Flora, 1983). 2.
Flooding is when unusually high amounts of rain lands on an already saturated area or has a high water table. The river systems cannot remove the water as quickly as it arrives therefore resulting in an overflow of water which finds other ways of escaping. Thereby resulting in flooding of flat areas or valleys. As an example in 2010 the Philippines experienced a flood in which 452 999 people were displaces, from which 68 died and it resulted in $20,396,723 in damages. This flood was induced by a typhoon that had hit the mountain ranges afterwards and led to surface run off.
Wisconsin Wisconsin is vulnerable to a wide range of hazards, Natural hazards such as floods, tornadoes, winter storms and excessive heat have caused injuries, loss of life, disruption of essential services, considerable property damage and crop damage. Being as though Wisconsin tends to have more tornadoes than any of these other hazards (according to sources), I am going to focus on what a tornado is and how they affect the state of Wisconsin. A tornado is a relatively short- lived storm composed of an intense rotating column of air, extending from a thunderstorm cloud system. It is nearly always visible as a funnel, although its lower end does not necessarily touch the ground. Average winds in a tornado are somewhere between 100 and 200 miles per hour, but some may have winds exceeding 300 miles per hour.
Chopin further describes the rain as a “force and clatter that threatened to break an entrance and deluge them there.” When read closely the word “deluge” means more than a literal flood. At this point, “deluge” is descriptive of the overwhelming emotions both characters are developing as Chopin describes their physical
The extremely high winds pick up debris, causing seemingly harmless things such as small pieces of Styrofoam or wood to become lethal projectiles. The winds can also cause extensive structural damage. The storms associated with tornadoes also bring hazards such as baseball-sized hail and intense rain around the vicinity of the tornado. To keep safe follow the instructions I mentioned before but the most important get to a low area and grab hold of something very strong or under a table . From the inferences I have made , we can deduct that tornadoes are hazardous to the Southern Parts of the
