Project Title:

TORNADO WARNING!! A NEW SYSTEM FOR SMALLER COMMUNITIES

During this coming year our team plans to show the differences in past weather patterns which are altimately causing more frequent tornadoes in Norhteastern New Mexico.

We will study how tornadoes are formed. The different sizes and shapes. We will show the frequency and severity of the past tornadoes in the surrounding areas and in Northeastern New Mexico.

In studying ithe weather patterns and how tornadoes are formed.We plan to show what time of year tornadoes in our area more likely to occur. We also plan to show in this project how to devise a new warning system on the smaller more spread out communities in our area.
