The unexpected visitor


He had lived here all his life. The giant mushroom had been home for over 50 years.
He was born here, had taken his first steps here, studied at school here and worked the fields
here all his adult life. This was the village of Toadstool, and nothing unexpected happened.
Each and every day, his neighbours would carry out their ordinary business in an ordinary way.
Each morning, he would sit at his table, tucking into a plate of steaming hot, buttery mushrooms
on toast, watching the ordinary world go by in its ordinary way. This morning seemed no
different…until he looked out of his window. The sight that met his bewildered eyes was
not ordinary at all. There was an unexpected visitor...At his door, he stood. He wore a long
old leather coat with black pants and a white hat that covered his eyes.
He dug into his pocket. he pulled out a knife.

Tornadoes

Tornadoes
What is a Tornado?
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that smashes anything in itÅ› way.
It picks up houses like they are nothing disintegrating in the air. It picks up cars
like they are toys. Paths through neighbourhoods turn to kindling. There is
nothing salvageable. It all happens with a blink of an eye.


Tornadoes can have a wide range of colours depending on the environment in which they form. Those that form in dry environments can be nearly invisible.
While travelling on a body of water Tornadoes can turn white or even blue.
Slow moving tornadoes ingest a considerable amount of debris and dirt.
They are normally darker.
Tornadoes on flat land can turn red because of the reddish tint of the soil.
Tornadoes in mountainous areas can travel over snow-covered ground
turning white.


Each year around sixty people is killed by tornadoes. In 2011 about 1,600
tornadoes hit the USA, causing more than $25 billion in damages. 
Tornadoes are dangerous and we need to look after ourselves. We can do this by getting under a sturdy piece of furniture.
