Tornado Awareness Week, Mar. 3-9
The State of North
Carolina will„participate
„ith a number, of other
states in 1,1 a j Tornado
Awareness Week. The
purpose is tb alert and in
form the various public
agencies and the general
public to the threat that
these brief but r dangerouß
storms offer.
Sometime during the
week of March 3-8, 1980,
there will be a Tornado
Watch and a Tornado
Warning Drill that will be
conducted statewide. The
purpose of the drill is to test
the dissemination process.
Tornadoes are short-lived
local storms containing
high-speed winds usually
rotating in a counter
clockwise direction. These
are often observable as a
funnel-shaped appendage to
a thunderstorm cloud. Hie
funnel is initially composed
of nothing more than con
densed water vapor pnd is
itself a cloud. However,
when the circulation of the
funnel reaches the ground, it
usually picks up dpst and
debris, which eventually
darkens the entire funnel.
Tomadic damage can occur
on the ground even though
the visible condensation
funnel does not seem to
reach the ground.
Scientists now believe that
the tornado begins within an
intense thunderstorm cloud
and then develops down
ward to the earth’s surface.
Not all thunderstorms Will
spawn tornadoes, but when
the proper weather con
ditions are present (un
seasonably warm and
humid air at the earth’s
surface, cold air at middle
atmospheric levels, and*
THECHOyytN
strong upper level “jet
stream” winds), severe
thunderstorms and tor
nadoes are more likely to
occur. Tornadoes
sometimes occur with
several smaller vortices
rotating inside and around
the wall of the parent
torando.
On the average, tornado
paths are only a quarter of a
mile-about- one-half km
wide and seldom more than
15 miles-about 25 km long.
Tornadoes usually move
from the south, southwest or
west at about 30 mph-about
50 kph. But it’s the longer
lived tornadoes, that usually
move at more than 40 mph-
Gas Is Best Energy Buy
A new American Gas
Association study which
compares future home
heating costs of fuel oil,
natural gas and electricity
shows that “gas energy will
continue to be the American
consumer’s best energy
buy” according to A.G.A.
President George
Lawrence. Entitled Con
sumer Costs of Natural Gas
and Alternative House
Heating Fuel, the study
tracks historical and
projected residential
heating prices and com
pares them to average
disposable family income.
“Gas energy will continue
to cost the average
homeowner less than
competing fuels through
1990 and beyond, and this
means the average family
will pay out less of its
disposable income in 1990
for gas home heating fuel
than for either oil or elec
tricity,” Lawrence stated.
He emphasized that
“Natural gas househeating
costs, which are usually 60
to 90 per cent of total gas
bills, will continue to con
sume only about 1.5-1.7 per
cent of the average U.S.
disposable family income
through 1990 and beyond,
while home heating fuel oil
and electricity bills will
demand 2.5 and 4.0 per cent,
respectively.”
The A.G.A. study shows

the price of fuel oil is ex

about 25 per cent in this
period. Over the same two
year period, inflation alone
is assured to comprise
almost 23 per cent of these
estimates.
“It is clearly demon

when viewed in terms of
disposable family income,
past natural gas price in

significant economic impact
on most residential con

Letter To The Herald Editor
To The Editor:
And she will say, “Lord,
when did you have tragedy
in your home and I stood
beside you and lifted you up
with encouraging words.”
You said I comforted you
when death took the last
loved one you had and
visited you when you were
lonely, then gave you a
shoulder to cry on when
your trials were too heavy to
bear alone.
Lord, you said I seemed to
know when your funds were
getting low, and shared my
food with you so that you
would not go hungry until
the third of the next month.
I don’t remember doing
any of this for you Lord.
Please explain.
Our Heavenly Father will
answer, “Irene, as much as
you did it unto May, one of
My least, you did it unto me.”
