Severe Strom Outbreak for central U.S.-Nicholas Watson, 9th (2)

Summary:
   The next big weather story for the U.S. will be tomorrow ,Tuesday, with the potential for a widespread severe weather outbreak. The threats for the following areas on Tuesday, including Oklahoma City and Dallas, will include large hail, high winds and long-track tornadoes. This storm system is recognized as being the first major severe weather outbreak of this year, and is threatening around 23 million Americans from North Texas to parts of Nebraska as well as areas in between.

Analysis:
   So when it comes to weather I'm lowkey nerdy about it because Ive had an interest in weather my whole life, which is why I get excited and anxious when we are expected to have storms. But that's beside the point, I think in many ways living in Tornado Alley comes with both pros and cons. Of course during the spring time we are always under the threat for dangerous and hazardous storms, which in the past, we have seen them bring destruction and death. Although on the other side of that, some of the cons is that due to the fact that we live in such an unpredictable weather area, many of us are used to these storms and have developed a sense of safety awareness when these storms do come nocking at our door. Because many of us have lived through these types of storms it has created a sense of preparedness so that we know what actions we need to take, as opposed to someone who has lived in California their whole lives and have never really experienced tornadic weather. With this storm system expected to reach its peak Tuesday April, 26, it barely misses the 5th anniversary of the 2011 tornado outbreak which included the deadly Tuscaloosa and Joplin tornadoes.
