Here
is a map of November tornadoes from 1959 to 2004 showing that
it is not uncommon for tornadoes to occur during this time. 175 deaths
have been recorded during this time period. There have been
14 F4 tornadoes, 105 F3 tornadoes, 371 F2 tornadoes, and the rest being
F1 to F0 in strength. Be on your guard in November, a tornado can
strike when severe weather conditions exist.
Remember November 2005 tornadoes in Indiana?
Tornadoes touched down in both Evansville Indiana and Henderson
Kentucky during the night. DeGonia Springs Indiana also suffered
extensive damage. The path of one tornado was over 40 miles long and
3/4 of a mile wide in some spots, and moved at 70 to 75 mph staying on
the ground for about 35 minutes. More than 22 people died.

More hurricane records
fall according to National Hurricane Center. Those records compiled since 1949,
show this is the first time for both Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes to make
landfall on the same day. The 2007 hurricane season is unmatched with Hurricane Felix
making
history by becoming the second Category 5 hurricane to make landfall
during the Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history. These two records marks a very
dangerous season for the Atlantic where records never seen before are made and
much of the hurricane season still lies ahead.

2007 Hurricane Season Prediction looks
Fearsome
Dr. Gray and others forecast states that information
obtained through November 2006 indicates that the 2007 Atlantic
hurricane season will be more active than the average 1950-2000
season. They estimate that 2006 will have about 7 hurricanes
(average is 5.9), 14 named storms (average is 9.6), 70 named storm days
(average is 49.1), 35 hurricane days (average is 24.5), 3 intense
(Category 3-4-5) hurricanes (average is 2.3) and 8 intense hurricane
days (average is 5.0). The probability of U.S. major
hurricane landfall is estimated to be about 125 percent above the
long-period average.

NASA Satellite Identifies Most Intense Thunderstorms
A summer thunderstorm often provides much-needed rainfall and heat wave
relief, but others bring large hail, destructive winds, and tornadoes.
Now with the help of NASA satellite data, scientists are gaining
insight into the distribution of such storms around much of the world.
Expect Extremes in Weather Experts Say
Recent episodes of deadly heat in the United States and Europe, long
dry spells across the U.S. West, and heavy bursts of rain and snow
across much of North America and Eurasia hint at longer-term changes to
come, according to a new study based on several of the world's most
advanced climate models.

July
brings an end to most storm chasers in the field. Doppler on Wheels
has ended until 2007, Tim Samaras has dismantled his team for
the rest of the year unless a major outbreak is predicted. For
the most part, 2006 was not a great year for most storm chasers,
with many not seeing one tornado. July may see a slight pickup
in tornadoes from June this year only because there were so few,
but usually tornado reports decline. Tornadoes will occur
in July and August, but how strong and how predictable are the
big questions. There has been a few Julys where the tornado
season became very active, will this be one of those years?

What You can do: One lesson for
all of us to learn from the hurricane Katrina nightmare
is to check with your local and state officials to find
out what disaster plans they have for your own local
area. Every community, not just hurricane prone areas,
but every city and every state must have a plan to deal
with what ever potential disasters they may face whether
it is a hurricane, flood or tornado. After the disaster
hits is not the time to find out what their plan was. In
other words, you must take action to keep this from
happening in your area. You are responsible for those
who run your counties, cities and states and it is your
responsibility to know what plans they have in place.
Please check out NOAA's StormReady program.
http://www.stormready.noaa.gov/
StormReady, a program started in 1999 in Tulsa, OK,
helps arm America's communities with the communication
and safety skills needed to save lives and property–
before and during the event. StormReady helps community
leaders and emergency managers strengthen local safety
programs. Take the responsibility and get your
local officials involved. They even have a TsunamiReady
program.
