Over 800 tornadoes happen each year in our nation and that is just in The United States! That causes over 80 deaths and over 1500 injuries. Their once was a tornado in Oklahoma and it picked up a big hotel sign and 30 miles later the sign ended up in Arkansas. The winds can get up to 250 mph or more. The winds can pick up things and the things can end up miles away from were it originally started. The wind are so extreme there is a big hazard anything in the tornadoes way will be sucked up threw the middle and will be shot out the top.

Well how do tornadoes form.Before thunderstorms develop, a change in wind direction and an increase in wind speed with increasing height creates an invisible, horizontal spinning effect in the lower atmosphere.Rising air within the thunderstorm updraft tilts the rotating air from horizontal to vertical.An area of rotation, 2-6 miles wide, now extends through much of the storm. Most strong and violent tornadoes form within this area of strong rotation. So if there is a tornado hind in a save shelter or get out of town. = = =  = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

= Unsolved mysteries =

Are we alone? Is there really other life forms in our galaxy? Over one hundred people a year report that they have seen sightings of UFOs. There has been burn marks on the ground. Pictures of aliens and UFOs. People getting ill and doctors cant explain. Scientists have measured the radiation level in the burn mark, when they tested the radiation it was a interference in the magnetic force field. What ever is causing this much trouble cant be in this world.

Scientists may think that what people were seeing might be an aircraft or a weathered balloon. In one historical journal about 200AD there was a sighting of a wierd fling object. There were many reports to the police but they are all turning out the same //it was a football shaped object and there were green people in it.// There has been many reports and sightings but still today it is a unsolved mystery of alien existence. But the weirdest thing is that all the pictures taken were fake!!

Science Technology

Gemstones can be hidden under the earths surface for millions of years. Chatham and other scientists are creating a gem stone of their own. They came up with an entirely new processes mimicking the processes that happens underground. They had lab made gems that have the same basic chemicals structure as the naturally made ones. these can be made in months or days!

Researchers can control the gems’ formation very carefully. The gems created in the labs turn out to be tougher then the real ones. Lab made diamonds could help scientist improve electronic devises or they can detect dangerous bacteria in drinking water!!! Lab-made gems often contain fewer inclusions then natural gems. There are more than 101 ways to use these gems and they are still coming out with more use full gems.

Current Events on Political
The public is split on whether President Barack Obama should be re elected and a majority of Americans predict he will be a one-term president, according to a new national poll.47 percent of registered voters would back Obama, with an equal amount supporting an unnamed Republican challenger. 54 percent of the people question Obama and don't think that he will be re elected. An 44 percent think that President Barack Obama will get a second run to be president. Independents currently favor the Republican by 11 points.

Challenger in his party's primaries has gone on to win re election; some political junkies believe that a primary fight would guarantee an Obama loss in 2012.But support from three quarters of all Democrats may help Obama scare off any serious challenger in 2012.531 Republicans and independents who lean Republican, and 448 Democrats and independents who Democratic, questioned by telephone.The poll's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points. ==

While earthquakes are not uncommon in the Caribbean island country, the recent Haiti earthquake's intensity surprised experts.Haiti is part of the island of Hispaniola, Which also hosts the Dominican Republic. The last major earthquake to strike Haiti's side of the island was in 1860.The Haiti earthquake was caused by the release of seismic stresses that had built up around two tectonic plates.The motions of these plates create what are known as strike-slip faults, where two sections of Earth's crust are grinding past each other in opposite directions.

Since the Jan. 12 earthquake killed up to 300,000 people and left more than 1.5 million homeless. There has been little progress on clearing rubble so people can return to their neighborhoods or building sturdier shelters. The international community and private aid groups have pledged or delivered $3.1 billion to help Haiti after the earthquake and are promising nearly $10 billion more for reconstruction.But so far, the government has relocated only about 7,000 vulnerable people to two safer camps. = How stuff works = How does an i pod touch work?
