Tornado Aftermath and Assessment with Kyle Nelson

Warning-Tornado-SignTornados ripped through parts of the southeastern United States last week. We decided to dedicate an episode with our disaster weather expert, Kyle Nelson to talk about the extreme weather event. Kyle discusses the classification of tornados, how the National Weather Service comes in after an event like this and evaluates damage to assign an Enhanced Fujita Scale rating to the individual twisters.

The string of tornados was particularly devastating to parts of Alabama. One area in Lee County was struck by storms where 23 people lost their lives in an EF 4 tornado that was reported to be a half mile wide at one point.

On the show this week are co-hosts Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis, and our disaster weather expert, Kyle Nelson.
