1. What was the Reading about?
ReplyDeleteTornadoes are very unpredictable natural phenomenon. In U.S., they are responsible of many injuries each year. Tornadoes are developing from potential storms.
Weather expert’s don´t know where and when a storm will touch the ground and also turn into tornadoes.
A man call Tim Samara is a storm chaser and his job is find and follow them with a tool called a turtle probe. This tool measures things like twister´s temperature and so on. This information can help to learn what causes to tornadoes to develop.
It´s not easy for Samara hunt tornadoes because tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites, you imagine? It´s hard but he loves hunt tornadoes.
2. What did you find interesting?
It´s was important because learn us about what tornadoes influence in the weather and also in the life of many people from U.S.
In addition, i like this topic because it´s not easy hunt tornadoes and also tornadoes are so difficul to predict. Sorry Samara but this job is not for me.

ReplyDelete1. What did you think about the reading? 2-3 Lines.
I think that this reading on the Tornado Chasers, so called Tim Samaras is a very risky and difficult work. In general, the warning time of a tornado is 13 minutes, a relatively short period, for what for me the persons who follow this natural phenomenon are very admirably. For other one side, I am very satisfied because every day the meteorologists look for the most rapid way in order that the persons could save his life.
2. What did you find interesting or what did you like about it? 3-5 lines.
Is the value of how this person follows Tornado and try to find an answer on how to avoid them. Also is interesting the small to see them with meteorological satellites and the time that a tornado takes to form.
