Hurricanes will soon begin to churn the docile waters of the Atlantic. While each storm season brings a unique deluge of destruction and chaos annually, the 2021 hurricane season is poised to be more active than usual. So far, forecasters are projecting between 13-20 named storms. While that’s a far cry from last year’s active season, it’s enough to send a shiver down the spine of anyone living within a few hundred miles of the coast. Some states were hit harder than others. Louisiana received more than it’s fair share of destructive cyclones as five storms slammed into the bayou state last year. With climate change impacting the severity and frequency of killer hurricanes and offshoot tornadoes, investing in steel rated protection from U.S. Safe Room can restore a prevailing sense of calm to your summer months.
Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predict the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, which started June 1, to be “above normal” with 13-20 named storms.
Tornadoes are an insidious and sinister side effect of mammoth hurricanes. As if the situation isn’t dire enough, Mother Nature must tempt fate by punishing beleaguered residents with offshoot tornadoes that spawn from the hurricane’s lashing storm bands. So, how do hurricanes give birth to the concentrated killing power of tornadoes? Tornadoes and hurricanes both crave warm and tropical humid environments. Hurricanes also feature supercell storm lines that support already strong rotating cloud formations that precede killer tornadoes. Hurricanes’ wind-shearing capabilities and an “abrupt change in wind speed and direction” can create those signature swirling air rolls that tornadoes crave. Tornadoes and hurricanes are dueling twins that add an extra element of danger to an enduring threat of chaos. In fact, meteorologists are shocked when a hurricane doesn’t produce tornadoes as it makes landfall.
Last year, Hurricane Isaias produced 12 tornadoes, killing two people as it barreled down on the North Carolina coast. As if flash flooding wasn’t enough, those who choose to ride out the storm as opposed to evacuating must also withstand another threat from these cyclones that are seldom consider: tornadoes. As hurricanes breach inner coastal communities, the storm’s outer bands are notorious for spawning sporadic tornadoes. Many people don’t associate these whirlwinds of destruction with hurricanes until it’s far too late. In many situations, tornadoes actually kill more people than the hurricane itself.,
