Weather of Arabia - A violent hurricane swept through the city of "Little Rock" in the US state of Arkansas and neighboring towns on Friday, killing at least 3 people and injuring dozens, and causing damage to the ceilings and walls of many buildings, overturning vehicles, falling trees and power lines.

Earlier in March, specifically on the night of Friday, March 24, 2023, at least 23 people were killed and dozens were injured as a result of a hurricane that swept through the US state of Mississippi. The hurricane caused devastation in several rural towns, uprooting trees and power lines, and led to power outages for tens of thousands of people.

 

Tornadoes are a very regular weather event in the United States of America, especially in this period of the year, as they occur at any time of the year, but the time of their common activity is early spring for the United States, which is located along the Gulf of Mexico, especially in the plain areas, and we will explain the following reasons The science behind its formation.

 

Tornadoes in the south of the United States of America ... and the scientific reasons behind their formation

Tornadoes in the United States result from strong atmospheric disturbances that arise in the atmosphere, usually as a result of a rush of cold and dry winds from the north that coincide with warm and moist air currents coming through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and it is known in meteorology that the greater the difference between the wind characteristics Which meet with each other the more frequent the weather disturbances and the more intense and dangerous.

Despite the development of meteorology and the great understanding of the factors controlling weather phenomena, the hurricane is still incomprehensible and the code for understanding the path of hurricanes has not been completely resolved yet. Hurricanes take the path they want and sometimes take strange paths that leave meteorologists at a loss.

 

One of the types of hurricanes is a tornado, known as a “tornado”, which is a vertical path of air that rotates violently and extends from a strong thunderstorm to the surface of the earth, and since the winds are not visible, we cannot see a tornado unless it forms a funnel Condensation, which consists of droplets of water, dust and debris, and states in North America were exposed during the previous days to violent hurricanes, which left behind many losses of life and property.
