Topic: Dallas Tornado


  
 Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science
We wish to propose a conceptual model of tornado flows near the tornado axis in which four distinct surfaces are identified — the surface of maximum tangential velocity, the observed funnel, the condensation pressure isobar, and the boundary of the recirculating core (see Figure 1).
The fourth funnel-like surface in tornadoes is the boundary of the recirculating core of the tornado.
For the case of the Dallas tornado, we chose a streamline passing through a point at approximately 150 meters radius from the tornado axis with a height of 20 meters from the ground (1).

 HazMAP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
By definition, a tornado is often described as a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a condensation funnel cloud.
Tornadoes seem to occur more frequently in Tornado Alley because recent research suggests that Tornado Alley is a breeding ground for conditions which are ripe for tornado formation—high instability, strong veering (turning) of the wind direction in the lowest half mile of the atmosphere, and often in the vicinity of weak boundaries.
The “typical” tornado path is considerably smaller than the largest possible tornado path that our region could see, so the number of possible alignments for the “typical” path is infinitely large and would be difficult to represent.

Therefore, the odds of a brief tornado in Dallas County hitting downtown Dallas are only about 1 in 300.
Small "rope" tornadoes can be F4 or F5 in strength and do violent damage, while some very large tornadoes over a quarter-mile wide have produced only weak damage of F0 to F1.
Reality: Most tornado deaths occur in mobile homes, but this is because they are, in general, much easier for a tornado to damage than other types of structures.
