Last but not least is FLOOD FRIDAY! Living this close to the Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers, flooding is one of the most common weather situations we have to be alert to. With all of the branches that come off of the two major rivers, any area in West Tennessee can quickly become a flood area. One of the most important things that is drilled into our heads: TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN! Facts and tips about floods: Ninety percent of all natural disasters involve flooding. Floods Are Now the #1 Natural Disaster on the Planet. In 1927 the Mississippi's levees could not hold back the water from record precipitation and 27,000 square miles flooded over seven states resulting in a death toll of 246. A car can be taken away in as little as 2 feet of water.

THUNDERSTORM THURSDAY! Living close to tornado alley, we are prone to be on the receiving end of an enormous amount of thunderstorms. Despite their small size, all thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm produces lightning, which kills more people each year than tornadoes. Heavy rain from thunderstorms can lead to flash flooding. Strong winds, hail, and tornadoes are also dangers associated with some thunderstorms. Interesting facts: Tennessee typically sees between 50 and 60 thunderstorms a year, depending on the location within the state. The southern part of the United States has the highest number of average thunderstorms each year. The odds of being struck by lightning each year are less than 1 in a million. From 2006 through 2022, lightning caused an average of 27 deaths per year in the United States.

Winter Storm Wednesday! Living in the south, we do not experience winter like our northern state friends, but we are not immune to all of winter's dangerous conditions. Especially in the last few years we have seen dangerously low temperatures and in January we experienced a hefty amount of snow. Being prepared and staying safe during cold temperatures is something we always need to be prepared for. Interesting Facts: Winter storms are often as powerful or more so than hurricanes The coldest temperature ever recorded in the state measured -32ºF in Mountain City. The most snow ever recorded in the state: Mar 14, 1993 – Sevier County: 30 inches Winter storms actually take more lives and do more property damages than do hurricanes. More people die of the cold than of tornadoes and hurricanes combined.

The second severe weather event is the TORNADO!!! A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can be among the most violent phenomena of all atmospheric storms we experience. Interesting facts: Tornado Alley is a nickname invented by the media to refer to a broad area of relatively high tornado occurrence in the central United States. Tornadoes can happen at any time of year. Tornadoes can also happen at any time of day or night, but most tornadoes occur between 4–9 p.m. The most destructive tornadoes occur from supercells, which are rotating thunderstorms with a well-defined radar circulation called a mesocyclone. The longest record for a tornado being on the ground is the Tri-State tornado, occurring on March 18, 1925, with a path length of 151 to 235 mi. Most tornadoes in a month: April, 2011 : 773 tornadoes Tornado with the strongest winds: Oklahoma City (May 3, 1999): 318 MPH

Our first severe weather event is the EARTHQUAKE! An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the Earth’s surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. Interesting facts: It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage. Some very powerful earthquakes occurred along the New Madrid fault in the Mississippi Valley in 1811-1812. Reelfoot Lake is an 18,000- acre natural area located in Lake and Obion Counties in northwest Tennessee. The lake was created by a series of violent New Madrid fault zone earthquakes in the winter of 1811-1812. Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world.
