Twin Tornadoes

A rare double tornado mowed down the small town of Pilger, Nebraska (map), late Monday afternoon. The storm killed a five-year-old girl, and a second person died in what was likely a weather-related traffic accident, according to CNN. The twisters injured 19 people who were sent to hospitals for treatment. (See: “Startling Pictures: Twin Tornadoes Slam Nebraska.”)

Nebraska’s governor, Dave Heineman, issued a state of emergency, allowing use of the National Guard if needed. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) Storm Prediction Center said there was a slight chance Tuesday of more severe storms across 14 states from Montana to New York.

> A rare double tornado

Well, sort of rare. Tornadoes seldom occur alone. On April 27, 2011, for example, a total of 211 tornadoes were generated by the same storm system. Over four days the total was 358 tornadoes.

What I’m quite fond of is those large tornadoes that have five or so counter-rotating tornadoes orbiting them. That makes six in one.

However, it is rare to have two tornadoes simultaneously from the same supercell.

If you could work out how to use those counter clockwise rotations in a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Tornado-JET type – generating wind fan

would it generate extra power?

The best wind turbine I’ve seen are the slow moving vertical types

Birds don’t fly into them

They resist high wind , unless someone couldn’t work out that a solid concrete base is needed

Savonius Rotors?
