The types of extreme weather are tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, thunderstorms and big fires. Extreme weather is when the weather around us is very different than normal. This weather could last from three hours to a long period of time.
Tornadoes are one of the scariest types of extreme weather. Tornados happen in very warm places. Tornados are made of condensation and dust and debris. A tornado can be seen when it creates a funnel cloud. Tornadoes are one of the strongest weathers, and can lift up cars. Tornado speed can begin at 40 miles per hour and can reach up tp 318 miles per hour.
Hurricanes are the largest storms on Earth. Hurricanes are considered tropical storms if their winds hit at least 119/km per hour. Hurricanes rarely make thunder and lightning, but they do bring lots of rain and flooding.
A blizzard is a heavy snowstorm with cold temperatures. Blizzards can cause a lot of damage to buildings. A blizzard is a storm with winds at least 35 miles per hour, and lasts more than two hours. Blizzards can cause white out conditions.
Thunderstorms are created with cumulonimbus clouds. Inside of those clouds the winds can reach up to 100 miles per hour. Thunderstorms can cause flooding which kills more people per year than lightning. Lightning causes many fires around the world. Dry thunderstorms are big reason for wildfires.
Thank you for listening to my essay about blizzards, thunderstorms, hurricanes and tornadoes. Extreme weather can happen anywhere and anytime. Be careful.
