A twister outbreak started just after midnight in Kansas. This outbreak killed 13 people, maybe more! The strongest one hit in Harrisburg, Illinois. The winds in that tornado reached 180 miles a hour(269km/h)!!! An expert named Jeff Masters said that probably the major factor of the outbreak was the warm winter we had. "You get fewer tornadoes in February during cold winters." said Jeff.

On February 29 in parts of the USA, a tornado started just after midnight and killed approximately 13 people in Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee. In Harrisburg, Illinois, the tornado was at it's strongest where the winds reached up to 289 km/h. Jeff Masters, a director of the meteorogical website "Weather Underground" says that it is fair to say that the tornado was caused by our unusually warm winter. "You get far fewer tornadoes in a colder February."

A twister touched down at night in Kansas. Thirteen confirmed dead others have not been found. Night tornados are very rare and very dangerous. All the debri laying about the tornado had hit hardtrees had fallen everythuing broken garbage everywhere. I wonder could anyone be under all this are they just surviving with the little air they have waiting for someone to pull them out or are they dead.

A twister outbreak on February 29th struck in Kansas after midnight. This killed 13 people. The tornado hit in Illinois, Tennessee, and Missouri. It hit very strong in Harrisburg, Illinois.The winds hit 180 miles an hour. A major factor of this outbreak was probably the unusually warm winter we had, according to experts.

The sky is dark. There is tons of rubble and garbage under a tree close to a house. That is probably the aftermath of the tornado outbreak this Wednesday.It looks horrible.

Winter night tornadoes

the night tornadoes have been caused by the unusual warm weather that has been in US this winter. The tornadoes appeared after 12:00 in Kansas and killed a minimum of 13 people in Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee. The biggest tornado was in Harrisburg with 289 km wind speeds and hour. Tornadoes are caused by storms that get spun by jet-streams and create a windy tunnel down to earth ripping up crops and barns. Most of the tornadoes happened between 6:00 am and midnight. Although they are not very common night tornadoes can catch people unaware and when they are sleeping and that is very dangerous. The widest tornado ever is the wilber breaking almost all tornado records ever.

A devastating Tornado struck the earth at midnight, killing at least 13 people and possibly more. People are unlucky because they fell asleep that night not knowing they would never wake up again. I seem to understand because once I left for a relative's house. The day we came back I had a huge headache and we came in and the fire alarm was going off. We were clueless as to when it started and I was really upset because that was a bit of a bad day for me. The next day the alarms were replaced and I relaxed. We had to have the fire department come, luckily there was no problem. I relate to the clueless feeling of how you have no idea what could happen while your away, or not there (mentally) and you may be there at the same moment (physically). I think that the idea Jeff had makes sense.

Night tornadoes that happen during the winter are very deadly because heat hasto be just right and many people are asleep when they happen from this catastopic incedent I conclude with 13 people dead it was going 180 miles an hour (289kmh) that is faster than my car!

On Febuary 29, a twister outbreak killed at least 13 people in Illinois, Missouri and Tennesse. The most powerful one was in Harrisburg, Illinois with winds moving at approximately 289 kilometres an hour."You get far fewer tornadoes in February during cold winters," explained Jeff Masters, director of the meteorological website Weather Underground.

Tornadoes during the night are very uncommon, but on February 29th at least 13 people were killed by a tornado around midnight in Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee. The reason tornadoes don't often happen at night is because the temperature drops considerably at sun down, so the things that start a tornado (moist and warm air, for example) are not in the proper positions for a tornado to begin. Only 12% of tornados happen during the night and most people believe that the warm weather has caused this tornado to hit.
