QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

three things).

than exploring the countryside on their own?

companies?

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
1. What measures can people take to reduce the effects of tornadoes?
2. What role does accurate local weather forecasting play in helping people to
live with tornadoes?

to 10 how irresponsible do you think these storm-chasers are? Justify your
answer.
