DEADLY PvWER AND
| TERROR OF TORNADO
Peculiar Development of Ameri-
can Weather Conditions
Greatly Dreaded.
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

Washington, :. c., April 29.-Ihls
spring has been unusually productive OF
that peculiar American weather phenom-
cnon known scientifically as the tornado
and more popularity called cyclone.
The two great groups OF storms whlch
have recently filled the front pages OF
newspapers have both been characterized
by tornadoes, and in both eases it was the
tornadoes that did most OF the damage
One of these storms, or storm groups,
ravaged the middle west In the vicinity
of Chicago and the other struck the
central south in Alabama and Tennessee.
In each case the Weather Bureau was
able TO warn the people that n storm was
coming but it could not predict that torna-
does would accompany them. 1t Is thus
which makes the tornado IN especially
deadly thing. Its origin cannot be predict
cd, and after 1t starts 1t moves too rapid
y for warning to bc sent ahead
The tornado always forms At the cloud
level, very suddenly. descends to the
earth. dashes across the country chewing
up everything in its path, which may be
no more than city block IN width, and
tSen disappears 1t is a marauder which
eives no warning and works with lightning
speed. There is no weather phenomenon
which gives such an impression of deadly
power and malignant intent, and none
which causes more terror.
The term cyclone, which IS commonly
applied to these winds, IS altogether
wrong. a cyclone is properly wind
caused by the movement Of air IN a
counter-chDckwise direction about q cen
ter of low pressure. Such cyclones are
constantly moving across the country.
They may not cause winds of any vio-
hence, and cyclonc, or cyclonic move
nsent, may be half as wide as the conti-
nent. as you can readily sec by looking at
the diagram of one OF them on the daily
weather map sent out by the Weather
Bureau. A cyclonic movement usually
brings either wind or rain or snow, but
not necessarily anything worthy of the
name OF storm. 1t may bring merely a
dull, muggy spell, due 10 the warm moist
air Of which it Is composed 1t is usually,
though not always, followed by an anti
cyclone, which is a similar air movement.
except that it moves in tho opposite
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-05-07

So the tornado remains the mysterious
devil of the weather. The Weather
Bureau predicts floods with great success
and it issues warnings against tropical
cyclones. but the tornado almost invarla-
bly, takes the scientist by surprise.
The tropical cyclone is IA real cyclone
That is, it is the same sort OF thing as the
ordinary cyclonic air movements which
bring most of our storms here IN the
eastern United States; but IN the tropics
these movements are smaller in circum-
ference, incomparably greater IN strength
and fortunately much less frequent IN
occurrence. Often III a given region like
the West Indies there will bc such storm
only once in two or three years. The
Weather Bureau will usually note the
storm after it has gotten started, and will
send warning To ships In its path by wire
less. The ships usually make port. Those
overtaken by the storm are almost IN
variably destroyed. The islands that are
struck by it suffer most. Ships IN the
harbors are thrown up on the beach,
houses are blown down, and banana and
cocoanut groves that have taken years to
grow are destroyed in a moment.
These tropical storms are the only true
cycloncS which are destructive. In the
Nest Indies they are called hIrrioa lcs:
in the China Sea typhoons; IN the Philip
pines, baguios. In the Indian Ocean
region they are generally known by their
correct name OF cyclone.
Thus the true cyclone is found practi-
cally everywhere in the world, and IT be-
comes deadly thing in all tropical
regions. The tornado, on the other hand,
is a truly American institution, for 1T is
found at its worst only IN the plains
region Of the United States, east OF the
Rocky Mountains.
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1920-05-07

direction is, clockwise-- and carries
cold heavy air with it, This anti-cyclone
brings the cool west winds of summer and
fall, and is generally characterized by
clear and bracing weather This alterna-
tion of cvclone and anti-cyclone causes
the characteristic variations of the
weather throughout the eastern United
States TO understand these movements
is 10 understand the weather about as
we'll as a layman can. lt IS chiefly by
watching these great main movements
of the air that the Weather Bureau pre-
diets what is going TO happen. II 1t sees
cyclone approaching, it knows that when
it reaches certain point there will proba-
blv he rain or a high wind there. IL can
predict the character of the weather
pretty we'll by its reports as to what the
cyclone is doing in other parts OF the
country. But sometimes the cyclone
slightly changes its path, or slows up and
arrives somewhere twelve or twenty-four
hours behind time. In that case the
weather prophecy for a given locality is
wrong. The layman leaps to the con-
clusion that the weather forecaster does
not know his business. But as a matter
of fact the forecaster predicts correctly
most of the time.
BT-PRoDUCR OF CYCLONE.
The tornado is a sort of by-product
Of the cyclone, and one which is produced
only at long and very irregular intervals.
II usually originates on the southern side
of cyclone and near the ceLter. For
instance one of the regular great cyclones
NAV be moving across the middle west,
rs one does every week or so. IL may
produce moderate winds, thunderStOrms
and rain. But somewhere near its center,
two air currents strike each other going
in opposite directions They tangle up
and go round and round each other.
This Is not Il scientific statement of the
case. but fair statement of 1t III UNI
scientific language.
The whirl made by these two winds,
struggling with each other like clenched
wrestlers, originates usually at the cloud
level. 1t moves downward and usually
strikes the earth in the shape of vortex Of
air. which has terrific speed and power
Sometimes ID docs not strike the earth at
all. Sometimes it strikes the earth and
rebounds again without doing any special
damage
The difficulty of forecasting tornadoes
is evident ANY cyclone may produce
a tornado. and cyclone accompanied
bv a thunderstorm is more apt to produce
a tornado than one that shows no electrical
phenomena But on the other hand.
only a very small percentage of cyclones
produce tornadoes 4 continual pro-
ccssion Of cyclones trail across the country,
often at the rate of one every week or SO,
and yet whole year may 90 by without
single tornado Then again there may
be several tornadocs in a single season,
as has happened this sprng.
