Warnings About Tomatoes
Condition, Usually Preceding Severe Winds,Oms and Pre-
cautions to Prevent Injury

The causes and effects of windstorms. the seasons when they ire most
likely ITO occur, how to foresan tornadoes, and precautions to prevent Injury
arc outlined in a series OF warnings Issued by the United States weather
bureau, which nre briefly summarized a follows;
TornadoPs ire usually preceded by high temperature and humldhy-a
weather condition generally sid 10 be "sultry" sticky" or Oppressive" Rain
may come before. with, or after q tornado, or, very rarely, there may be no
rain al MI. The barometer does not foretel a tornado though II indicates low
prcssurcs; and tornadoes always occur in n low" area.
The season In which tornadoes may be expected varies according to the
region. They may visit the Gulf states Tin winter. and ms the season advances
the region OF greatest frequency is in the Plains states and the Mississippi
Wiley, from April to September. inclusive In this region May is the worst
month. with April next. East OF the Appalachian mountains, however lorna.
does rarely occur until after July. Generally they come between $3.50 and o
p m, but they may even cone At night
Persons may somewhat avoid tornado danger by watching the local signs
tornado formation. The local signs are heavy dark clouds, first In the south
funneshaped cloud is a sure sign, though there may be a tornado when such a
cloud Is nt rendly cen II n funnel cloud cannot be seen, the whirlng motion
OF the air may be known by a peculiar roaring noise somewhat like he rumble
Of distant thunder or theGppronch of n heavy train If cars.
II one can see the cloud and get nm idea of the direction in which It Is NOV
ing, the zone OF snfety is Mt right angles to the direction II motion. The south
err margin is usually more dangerous than the northern and this should be
remembered In seeking a place of safety The width Of the path OF greatest
destruction is ordinarily not more than a few hundred yards. though this de-
structiye diameter may be from some rods wide 4 n half mile or sometimes
wider. However, the worst part is comparatively narrow, und relative snfety
may be had only n short distance at right angles to the line of the advance OF
the tornado.
ms some OF the Plains states there ar socaled cyclone" cellars, and
where these are not available the southwest corner OF the cellar o a frame
building is the next best place. Brick buildings are no so safe but the cellar
is probably the safest place in them, In the Omaha tornado of 1913 very few
brick houses we're seriously damaged. These re ordinarily unroofed, though
sometimes the walls crumble or fall outward.
