Environment & Energy

Thank you, Uncle Joe for sharing this with us.

I know that these presentations can seem a little over dramatic, but humans tend to minimize the dangers and risks of severe weather and climate change. Maybe documentaries like this will bring more attention to the topic.
I looked up Ted Fujita, the originator of the F-scale classification of the severity of tornadoes. I knew that he began with studying microburst/downbursts, but I didn't realize that it was as late as 1975. For some reason, I thought his studies of this subject began earlier. I know he first began studying the ground patterns left by destructive winds after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan during World War 2, but I hadn't remembered that his studies of downbursts came much later.
Thanks again for sharing and giving my curiosity a nudge.
