Risk of tornado-related death and injury in Oklahoma, May 3, 1999.
On May 3, 1999, powerful tornadoes, including a category F5 tornado, swept through Oklahoma. The authors examined all tornado-related deaths, hospital admissions, and emergency department visits to identify important risk factors. Data on deaths and injuries directly related to the tornadoes and information obtained from a survey of residents in the damage path of the F5 tornado were used in a ...
متن کاملDeaths in the 3 May 1999 Oklahoma City Tornado from a Historical Perspective
The 3 May 1999 Oklahoma City tornado was the deadliest in the United States in over 20 years, with 36 direct fatalities. To understand how this event fits into the historical context, the record of tornado deaths in the United States has been examined. Almost 20 000 deaths have been reported associated with more than 3600 tornadoes in the United States since 1680. A cursory examination of the r...
متن کاملJ3.2 Evaluation and Interpretation of the Supercell Composite and Significant Tornado Parameters at the Storm Prediction Center
supercells (sigtor), F0-F1 tornadic supercells (weaktor), nontornadic superells (nontor), and a sample of non-supercell discrete storms (number of cases from T02 in parentheses). The shaded boxes represent the middle 50% of the distributions (“box”), and the tops and bottoms of the bars are the 10 and 90 percentiles, respectively (“whiskers”). The horizontal line through each shaded box is the ...
متن کاملTornado Forecasting: A Review
Present-day operational tornado forecasting can be thought of in two parts: anticipation of tornadic potential in the storm environment, and recognition of tornadic storms once they develop. The former is a forecasting issue, while the latter is associated with warnings (or so-called nowcasting). This paper focuses on the forecasting aspect of tornadoes1, by dealing primarily with the relations...
متن کاملMicrowave M burst on May 3 1999
We present a remarkable fine structure of “decimetric pulsation” event (DCIM), observed with the 2.60–3.80 GHz spectrometer in Beijing Astronomical Observatory on 3 May 1999; a “M” dynamic spectrum has been detected, thanks to the high time and frequency resolutions. We call this fine structure a microwave M burst and propose a plausible model which treats the observed M burst as an emission pr...
