Web site that contains detailed statistics involving natural disasters by year and type of disaster. Statistics are available in .pdf format.

Use this site to explore how engineers and architects are able to create tornado-proof designs for houses and other buildings.

Students will learn about tornadoes, the damage they cause, and how to rate tornadoes. Specifically, students will investigate the Fujita Damage Scale of tornado intensity, and use it to complete a mock engineering analysis of damage...

This activity will introduce you to the Fujita scale for rating tornado strength. You will then put your knowledge to use by observing photographs of tornado damage and assigning them a rating.

Students are introduced to our planet's structure and its dynamic system of natural forces through an examination of the natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis, floods and tornados, as well as avalanches, fires,...

This photo shows the shocking reality of the damage that can be caused by powerful tornadoes. This tornado left a catastrophic path of destruction through many homes and properties.
