Deadly Oklahoma Tornadoes

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37110311/40533311

This article I read was about tornadoes that occurred last May in Oklahoma. Residents in Seminole were told by the scientists that twisters were predicted later that week. Supercomputers were able to predict up to the hour updates about the storms. The most recent line of storms may have had nineteen tornadoes throughout central Kansas and Oklahoma. The debris of this powerful line of storms include matteresses, dented appliciances, flipped cars, and broken furniture. Residents have expressed concern about water damage and the upcoming line of storms approaching.

  1. Woah! It seems like tornadoes are really common in Oklahoma and Kansas rather than other states!

  2. That's good that the computers were able to track the storms every hour but still sad that all of that damage happened!

  3. Helen- Yes, they are common because Oklahoma and Kansas are located in Tornado Alley, an area where tornadoes usually occur.
    Molly- Yeah, it is! Hopefully, the information given by some of the supercomputers helped prepare some people for the storm, though!
