Moment in time

Boys jumping off a bridge

One day, I was in my car and I see two boys jumping down, from the bridge to the sea with excitement and big smiles on faces. One looks like he’s doing a bomb and the other is doing a dive, they puts his hands up and heads down to the salty sea.        

The cars are honking like a trumpets, I hear cars zooming past like racing cars as the air gets more and more polluted. I can hear the gentle movements of the salty sea, I can almost feel the rocky concrete on my feet. I see the fluffy white clouds reflecting on the glistening sea, I smell the salty sea as my car pasts them.

I think they have the most exciting day of their childhood and probably will tell their children in the future of all the adventures they had.

Tornados

A tornado is made up of cold air coming down, hot air rising up and strong wind in the middle. Tornados are sometimes called twisters. A tornado is a fast spinning tube of air that touches both the clouds and the ground. Most tornadoes have wind speeds less than 100 miles per hour, about 161 kilometres per hour. The most powerful tornadoes occur in the United States of America. Extreme tornadoes can reach wind speeds over 300 miles per hour, (483 kilometres per hour). Most tornadoes travel a few miles before exhausting themselves. Extreme tornadoes can travel much further, sometimes over 100 miles per hour, about 161 kilometres. The United States of Americas averages are around 1200 tornadoes per year, more than any other country. US States most often hit by tornadoes include Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Florida. In 1989 the deadliest tornado ever recorded in the world killed around 1300 people in Bangladesh. In the southern hemisphere tornadoes usually rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere tornadoes usually rotate in a counter clockwise direction. A tornado that occurs over water is often called a waterspout. Basements and other underground areas are the safest places to stay safe during a tornado. It is also a good idea to stay away from windows.
