Tornadoes and hurricanes

Severe storms like tornadoes and hurricanes have devastating effects on communities. The Waco tornado of 1953 resulted in 114 deaths and 597 injuries in Texas, occurring just after 4 PM on Mother's Day when a cold front clashed with warm air. In another catastrophic event, Hurricane Katrina struck on August 23, 2005, leading to 1,833 fatalities across New Orleans, LA, Mobile, AL, and Gulfport. The hurricane formed due to the ocean waters reaching 80°F, highlighting the influence of temperature on storm development.
