Tracking data show that they&#8217;re becoming increasingly common in the southeast, and less frequent in &#8220;Tornado Alley,&#8221; which stretches across the Great Plains. Scientists lack a clear understanding of how tornadoes form, but a more urgent challenge is to develop more accurate prediction and warning systems. It requires a fine balance: Without warnings, people can&#8217;t shelter, but if they experience too many false alarms, they&#8217;ll become inured.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-11-physics-extreme-events.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Flow physics could help forecasters predict extreme events<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 1,000 tornadoes strike the United States each year, causing billions of dollars in damage and killing about 60 people on average.
