Not only did we learn about the second deadliest tornado in US History, which occurred in 1840 here in Natchez, but we also learned the mechanics of what makes tornados form. We learned about how climate warming is affecting tornadic activity, and how they measure the wind speed of tornados, mostly by the type and amount of damage.
