4 tornadoes touch down in Northern Arizona!
by Barbora Misakova


It is about month ago or so, what I saw a movie called “The Road”. This apocalyptic thriller tells the story of a man who travels with his son through the devastated, post-war land searching for civilization. And every time I hear about another torrential rains or storms, landslides, earthquakes or tornados, I have the scenes from this movie before my eyes. And I must tell you, they are not pleasant pictures. Residents of Arizona witnessed a rare swarm of tornados that shoved semis off highways and destroyed homes on Wednesday. While one tornado was rumbling through Bellemont around 5:30, another tornado struck minutes later east of the small town west of Flagst! aff. One of the witnesses, Breanna Hunt recalls this stormy night: “Running through the house, all the Kansas movies go through your head telling you: ‘Move to the basement.’ But we don’t have a basement.” But there were even more tornado warnings issued on Wednesday, exactly 22! As George Howard, National Weather Service meteorologist said, the radar showed many more twisters likely formed but not all of them were confirmed. Arizona typically has four tornadoes a year, but as meteorologists said, rarely it can sees twisters which come in clusters, just like on Wednesday. According to meteorologists, this kind of hammering is exceptional. “It is not uncommon this time of year to have one or two tornado reports or a warning, but this is quite an outbreak.” said Ken Waters from National Weather Service. This extreme weather came from a low-pressure system that has been parked over Central and Southern California.
