Beating A TOrnado's Time

You can Outrun tornado, SAYS
the United States Weather Bureau
provided you sight the menace
several miles away and have at hand
car that can make about sixty
miles an hour and are in open level
country and happen to be near a
road that leads TO right angles to
necessary aids, one will find the
automobile the second best means OF
escape. Of course, well-construct-.
ed tornado cellar is the safest
refuge.
The bureau further furnishes
description of tornado for the IN
experienced person. Usually it takes
the appearance of an elongated.
funnel-shaped or cylindrical cloud
dangling from the sky toward the
earth. If you can't see the cloud, be
warned by the sky. Clouds are
thrown into a wild turmoil and are
colored jet-black, greenish, or pur-
pie where dark, but often mingled
with steamlike grays and whites. A
terrifying roar, which is compared
to thousands of railroad cars cross
ing a bridge, may be heard at con-
siderable distance.
The movement of the storm IS
moderate, averaging about 40 miles
an hour and in rare instances reach
ing 60. It's path generally varies
but little from a staight line. Most
tornadoes move toward the north
east, few toward the southeast,
and the rest, with few exceptions, in
some other easterly direction.
