Did you know that the Tornado 2000 whistle was the loudest whistle in its time? I bet you didn’t! Way back in the 1860s, Joseph Hudson, who was a Birmingham trained toolmaker, converted his humble washroom at St. Marks Square into a whistle shop. He called his first whistle the Thunderer. In 1884, the world's first reliable whistle also known as the ‘pea’ whistle was introduced to referees and it help them with sports because it was louder for people to hear. It was not until 1891 that the Referee is introduced working for the first time in the sporting world. The whistle was proving itself to be a very helpful tool for sure. In 1906, the first attempts to produce moulded whistles from harder rubber had failed. Later on in 1914, the
In the book Storm Over Texas, by Joel H. Silbey the critical controversy of North vs. South is displayed. The book goes into great detail of the wild moments leading into the Civil War, the political dysfunction that ran throughout Texas, and many reasons the American Civil War sparked up in the first place. This book truly captives great Texas history and has valid information and points of our states different point of views on history.
Tornadoes, also called twisters or cyclones, are a localized, violently destructive windstorm occurring over land, and characterized by a long, funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground and made visible by condensation and debris. They come in many different shapes and sizes, but are typical in a funnel formation, where the narrow end makes contact with the earth. Most don’t reach winds over 110 miles per hour (177 km/h) or have a path wider than 250 feet (76m), and most only travel a few miles on ground before dissipating. Although, some can reach winds as high as 300 miles per hour (483 km/h) or higher, have a path that can be as wide as two miles (3.2 km) or more, and can travel for dozens of miles on the ground before dissipating.
the world. It was invented by Eli Whitney while America was still barely 10 years old. At that time
On May 4, 2007, the town of Greensburg, Kansas was devastated by an exceptionally strong tornado. With maximum winds estimated to be in excess of 205 miles per hour, and leaving a damage path as wide as 1.7 miles, the storm would go on to be rated a rare EF5, the first recorded in the United States since 1999. When the storm finally subsided, 95 percent of Greensburg had been destroyed, killing eleven people.
Thunder rolled intensely outside, my aunt, mother, sister and I were sat calmly in the basement. We had been through this many times before; I mean afterall, Kansas was part of Tornado Alley. 2. My sister and I were young when this happened, her probably four or five, me about eight. 3. Before we had even started driving to my aunt’s house; since she’s the only one with a basement; my sister and I were complaining about being hungry. 4. Mom said she would get us something to eat soon, but then the sirens started blaring. 5. She called my aunt and told her we would be over in about ten minutes. 6. Me and my sister continued to complain about being hungry because, we always had to get what we wanted. 7. So my mom stopped at McDonald’s and got us some food. 8. After we were almost five minutes later than we said we would be my aunt panicked. 9. Jenny, my aunt, was calling like crazy. 10. When we finally got to her house she lectured my mom about how it wasn’t safe to have us out there like that with a tornado in the area. 11.Afterwards, we all sat on the porch and watched the storm. 12. That’s my favorite memory with my family, and it’s one I’ll never forget.
Meteorology includes the study of the weather and climate. Meteorologists are in particularly interested in studying the development of thunderstorms and tornadoes. The research and observation of storms began as a hobby for Howard B. Bluestein. Bluestein’s interest in meteorology began with cloud photography. After receiving a degree in Electrical Engineering he went on to graduate school to major in Meteorology. In his book, Monster Storms of the Great Plains, Bluestein relates his experiences with chasing storms and researching tornadoes. He also provides the history of the technology used to research and gather data on storms.
In the book “The Sound of Thunder,” the author, Ray Bradbury acknowledges readers that even the smallest, unintentional actions can carry heavy consequences. At the beginning, Eckels was not aware of that careless mistakes can bite him back in the future. He doesn’t take Travis’ constant of warnings of only shooting animals with marks and staying on the path seriously. He responds “so what” when the guide claimed that killing a single mouse can result to the decease of billions of mice and other animals. In line 59, “Eckels aimed his rifle playfully” as a joke, not realizing the seriousness of the situation again. By accident, Eckels stepped out of the path, leaving traces of human activity, and killing a butterfly. When they return back to
Next, on November 12, 1892 came the first professional level game played between the Allegheny Athletic Association and the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. Finally, in 1920, the American Professional Football Association became the country’s first organized football league. Back then, the game resembled rugby more than the current game of football. Over time, the rules have been constantly changing in order to boost the excitement level and increase the game’s safety. The first of safety rules came in 1938 when they established roughing the passer, which prevented the defense from hitting the passer after he threw the ball. This was directly to protect the quarterback. Next, in 1943, helmets became mandatory for all players on the field. This was the first step to helping protect the wellness of the players’ heads, even though they were unaware of the seriousness of hits to the head and any long term
Tornadoes are one of the most deadly natural disasters in the United States. This tornado was classified as environmental, meaning nothing could have stopped it besides the weather itself. Tornadoes are never anything we can prepare for besides getting to safety quickly. This tornado was also classified as an EF4 tornado, resulting in the third deadliest tornado event in the United States since 1950. Governor Bentley declared state of emergency on April 27, 2011.
At the time of the natural disaster that occurred where I was, I, Guy Webster Russell, or as most people had referred to me by my middle name, had been living in Arkansas City in Kansas, an area which is widely known for being the spawn point of gruesome tornadoes, right near a hazardous area of Tornado Alley. It took place in the mid 1990’s, and started in a bright, sunny afternoon when I was working at a hospital I was a CEO of. I had shown not much but a little anxiety inside of me and more dedicated hard work throughout the occurrence of the disaster, and I just kept calm. This was because I had served in the military and the Vietnam war. Long after the time spent in both of those events, I had become a stronger person both physically and
The song that is being reviewed is The Thunderer by John Philip Sousa. It has been analyzed by the balance, tempo and unity of the ensemble. I tried my best to be accurate about how the music was actually played, but everybody perceives it a different way. Although this song had been favored by many, there were obvious places where it didn’t sound so well, like measures eighty-eight through one hundred, only because of the higher octave. Although all three aspects analyzed seemed to be pretty well done, there were spots where they weren’t quite up to par. This is a review of the way the band played The Thunderer.

a) I think that the reaction to this warning was organized and controlled because Andrea has shown that she had a good understanding about to follow general emergency/ disaster preparation. Also, she has demonstrated how to respond to recommendation and requirement for child care program. That means Angela and her employees have been practicing so well, they have demonstrate they know what action to take when emergencies or disaster occur. The way all the teachers handled that situation, we can say that they have been practicing Tornado drills.
Tornadoes are one of the deadliest and most unpredictable villains mankind will ever face. There is no rhyme or reason, no rhythm to it’s madness. Tornados are one of the most terrifying natural events that occur, destroying homes and ending lives every year. April 29th, 1995, a calm, muggy, spring night I may never forget. Jason, a buddy I grew up with, just agreed to travel across state with me so we could visit a friend in Lubbock. Jason and I were admiring the beautiful blue bonnets, which traveled for miles like little blue birds flying close to the ground. The warm breeze brushed across the tips of the blue bonnets and allowed them to dance under the perfectly clear blue sky. In the distance, however, we could see darkness. A rumbling sky was quickly approaching.
In 1877, Thomas Edison invented the first Phonograph. This was a device that was capable of producing sound by mechanically etching grooves onto tin foil cylinders. Originally used to playback voices, Edison could have never foreseen the profound effects on his invention would have on musical consciousness (Koenigsberg, 1969). By producing the first sound recording, Edison was essentially catalyzing the reordering of music across time and space.
