A 2.5 mile wide tornado rammed through Hallam Nebraska in 2004. Could a
similar twister be waiting to touch down? There is no telling exactly
when and where the next super tornado will hit, but it is reasonable to
assume that we will experience another disaster of this sort fairly
soon.
The United States is not the only nation to face these killing machines.
On April 26, 1989, 1300 people died in Bangladesh thanks to the
enormous Daultipur-Salturia Tornado. Antarctica has been the only
continent on earth to be immune from tornadoes. Scientists have systems
of detecting tornadoes, but the last minute warnings can only do so
much. And since there is no way to control this disastrous act of
nature, we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope we don't have a
repeat of 2004.
