Inventions term 1 - Tornadic Activity/Supercell Activity Prediction Drone

concentrate Tornadoes are devastating the USA regularly, with little time for Civilians to take cover and go underground once a Tornado Warning or Emergency is issued. For example, look at the infamous Tri State Tornado of 1925. 695 people died across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, and nobody in that one-mile-wide unfortunate path knew a damn thing about it until it was bearing down on the town. That is why we need to do something about it. We need to know when and where the tornado will strike BEFORE it touches down.

Our drone will detect tornadoes and supercells before they happen, which will give NWS and NOAA more time to issue Tornado Warnings/watches/emergencies, and it will also contain something that predicts what counties the tornadoes will strike. TODAY’S EXAMPLE: A tornado is going to strike Bollinger County and Perry County in 20 minutes. NOAA and NWS know a tornado could happen, but if it does happen, they do not know WHERE.  ***The NWS in Ellington Missouri has issued a  tornado watch (see, they don’t know IF it will happen or not.) for Bollinger, Perry,  (see they don’t know where either.) and Mid-Ridge county.***     See? I have told you that it will strike Bollinger and Perry Counties, not Mid-Ridge county.

 So we need a prediction drone to see exactly when and where the tornado(es) will strike. If we knew when and where, then a lot of lives will be saved, especially in significant tornadoes. (EF2/F2 or higher) That’s why we are creating this drone. I designed a drawing to take a look at what this could look like. 

And so..that’s all I guess. OBJECTION! We need to know how wide tornadoes will be, too. On the evening of May 31, 2013, civilians in the El Reno, OK area were getting ready to take cover for a “small tornado”. Little did anybody know that evening would produce the widest tornado EVER RECORDED, peak width was 2.6 miles! It is now known today as the El Reno-Piedmont Tornado.

Plus, knowing the wind speed that will occur with the tornado. People across a range of communities in Oklahoma were bolted by the fastest tornado ever recorded, and the fastest wind speed ever recorded. (Tornado reached 318mph!) This is the tornado known as the May 3, 1999 tornado.
