DIRECTOR, COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The tornadoes at Dallas, Texas, April 2, 1957, were only two of the more than twenty tornadoes that occurred on this date over portions of Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and north - central Texas. The Dallas tornadoes were unique in the hundreds of photographs taken by public spirited citizens which afforded researchers the first opportunity to study the complete life cycle of a tornado from photos of the funnel and related ground damage. Several of these photographs are shown in this guide to help civil defense weatherwatchers distinguish early vortex formation. Permission for use of these photos was obtained from private photographers (see page 20), all rights reserved. Dr. Vance Moyer, Professor of Meteorology and Acting Head of the Department of Meteorology, Texas A &M University, who has trained local spotter groups, helped prepare this material. Jake Canglose, Brazos County Civil Defense Director, also has contributed valuable assistance. Acknowledgment is given also to Bob Carpenter, Civil Defense Director, Comanche, Texas, and Joe Waring, Captain of Salvage and Rescue, Comanche Volunteer Fire Department, for permission to use their training material as a part of this guide. Mr. Waring, also an American Red Cross First Aid Instructor, has devoted considerable effort to safeguarding his community against the unannounced arrival of tornadoes. William A.

Photo Credits 20 THE WHY OF COMMUNITY SPOTTER NETWORKS Many communities have disaster relief and rehabilita- tion plans which describe actions to be taken following a disaster. However, even a few minutes advance warning of an approaching tornado can give people a chance to escape to comparative safety, thereby, perhaps preventing casualties and loss of life. For example, one school superintendent was quoted as saying that without the timely warning pro - vided by highway patrolmen and the local civil defense organization, 300 to 400 children would have been injured or killed.(1) Any town or city can be struck by tornadoes. Often warnings cannot be issued to a community in the path of a tornado, because of sudden storm development or because a tornado is not reported promptly. For this reason, each community should have its own reporting and warning system. Small communities should make provisions for receiving storm reports at a location where the town signaling device is located, such as the telephone exchange or fire depart- ment.(2) Lookouts should be posted during tornado fore- cast periods or when threatening storms are reported moving into the area. Training weatherwatch personnel is the responsibility of the local civil defense director. Residents in small communities or on ranches can provide valuable support and receive mutual cooperation by offering their services. This booklet was designed to help spotters recognize a tornado during its early development and make prompt, concise reports. Local officials may wish to supplement these instructions with a local directory and individual training. A set of tornado recognition slides is available for use in local training meetings. These slides may be scheduled through the Rural Civil Defense Office. The following Weather Bureau, E.S.S.A., publication is recommended as supplementary information:-' "Tornado'.

In the event he or his deputy cannot be reached, contact the local law enforcement agency, county sheriff's office or Department of Public Safety headquarters.(3) Use the reporting format on page 13 to be sure your report is complete. • TORNADO WATCH (ALSO TORNADO FORECAST) "60 MILES ON EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM COMANCHE TO WICHITA FALLS." THIS TYPE OF WARNING IS A FORECAST ONLY AND MEANS TO GO ON ABOUT YOUR NORMAL BUSINESS. KEEP TUNED TO A LOCAL RADIO OR TELEVISION STATION AND KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE COMMUNITY WARNING CENTER. You may see nothing but sunshine. A tornado watch simply means storms are possible. TORNADO WARNING (ALSO TORNADO ALERT) This is given to all sources, including all police, civil defense, fire and school agencies. It sounds like this: "A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM IS MOVING FROM THE BANGS AREA IN A NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION AT A FORWARD SPEED OF 15 MILES PER HOUR. RESIDENTS IN THE BROWN, COMANCHE AND ERATH COUNTY AREA SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS FOR PERSONAL PROTECTION AND FOR PROTECTION OF PROPERTY. THIS STORM CONTAINS TORNADOES AND IMMEDIATE STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN." Civil defense officials should be notified immediately. Weatherwatch units of civil defense should take station. Sheriff's units, highway patrol and schools should already have been alerted by law enforcement agencies, firemen or • Weather Bureau personnel. -3- TORNADO CHARACTERISTICS Generally, a storm cell containing tornadoes moves from the southwest to the northeast. However, DON'T DEPEND ON IT: Tornadoes have been known to travel in every possible direction. They have been known to stand still, back up, go forward and then back up along the same track. They have been known to lash from side to side. For no apparent reason, they may go forward along a track, lift and appear on another track anywhere from 50 yards to 1/4 mile to one side, then move back. They are totally unpredictable in behavior. Tornadoes are most likely to occur in mid - afternoon, generally between 3 and 7 p.m. But, they have occurred at all times of day. Precipitation is often associated with a tornado. It generally occurs first as rain, frequently accompanied by hail just preceding the storm and as a heavy downpour immediately to the left of the tornado's path. Tornadoes have been known to cut a path of destruction anywhere from a few hundred feet to nearly 300 miles long.(4) The usual track is 10 to 20 miles. Therefore, watch any known funnel carefully until it dissipates, and then remain cautious until the storm has passed completely. If you have no chance to retreat from a tornado, the best protection is to take cover in an open ditch. You might attempt to drive away from one, but this is harzardous since a secondary funnel may form in front of you. Your best judgment must be used as to whether to take cover or try to escape. The noise of a tornado is loud and distinctive. When nearby, the roar is intense, often described as resembling the noise of several trains moving through a tunnel. When the funnel is well above the ground, a peculiar whine may be heard like the buzzing of many insects or airplane engines. These sounds may forewarn you of an approaching funnel. Don't turn in an alarm just because you hear them, but DO report suspicious noises. Funnel formation may start several thousand feet above the earth's surface, and some never reach the ground. Others touch the ground and rise again. Only the spinning funnel which reaches the ground is termed a tornado. -5- TORNADO DEVELOPMENT Effective warning depends on early, positive recognition of the tornado during its formation or soon after its develop - ment.(5) The following photographs were taken at Dallas, Texas, April 2, 1957. The cloud from which the tornado was formed was first photographed by Clint Grant of the Dallas Morning News. . Figure I shows the cloud as seen from the campus of Southern Methodist University. Mr. Grant stated that: "A prominent dark cloud was going southwest; the cumulus in the black was boiling." Actually, the wind at the time was generally out of the south, but the photograph and Mr. Grant's description confirm the fact that convective clouds were in the vacinity whereas others described the clouds as being stratified.(6) Figures II, III and IV show the incipient tornado cloud about one hour later. The photographs in Figures II and III were taken about five minutes apart. The funnel shaped whisp had completely disappeared by the time the second photograph was taken. In Figure IV, the base of the cloud is ragged, indicating considerable differential air motion. t � ray , „,,r/ .°1 . \ ir 4 h' r r 0 FIGURE II -6— • a _ am t - A MP .t erg= AIR 3: FIGURE III TF g ti , t e y a w PPP ® b4 i.

FIGURE IX -11- Certain features of the Dallas Tornado are well worth remembering. All witnesses of the parent tornado cloud described it • as being small but quite distinct. The first evidence of a funnel was a small "knot" protruding from the cloud base. Two other knots also appeared and finally merged into one funnel. The condensation funnel was visible throughout the storm usually extending about half way from the cloud base to the ground (Figure X). The shape of the tornado varied from a concave -cone to an elephant trunk and finally to a thin rope -like structure. During dissipation, the funnel divided and formed a second funnel approximately one and one -half miles east of the Dallas tornado. The two gradually diverged and the second funnel later caused damage north of Dallas.(6) 4 44101. s FIGURE X -12- In its mature stage, the tornado left a path of complete destruction. � r . r rr �'" as , 5 . `, **1 t — N a .' ma ' i ,' NT v �p +i .ax { JI. + per + .

The Civil Defense Director needs to know: 1. WHETHER IT IS IN THE AIR OR ON THE GROUND (TORNADO OR FUNNEL ALOFT). 2. LOCATION - -BE VERY ACCURATE ABOUT THIS. GIVE FULL INFORMATION AND ESTIMATE DISTANCE FROM TOWN. 3. GENERAL DIRECTION OF TRAVEL. 4. ESTIMATED SPEED OF TRAVEL. (Most of them move from 35 to 50 mph. However, some have ranged from stationary to 68 mph.) 5. LIFE OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD. If you have seen property damage, state so and whether or not you have reason to believe there is serious injury.(7) DON'T LOSE YOUR HAD REPORT A FUNNEL ONLY IF YOU ARE SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE. Many cloud bases are ragged in ways that, when viewed from certain angles, make them appear to be tornadic. REPORT EVERY POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED TORNADO AND ITS ESTABLISHED TRACK. Even though the projected track is outside your area of responsibility, a warning must be issued to other areas that are threatened. KEEP YOUR STATION AS LONG AS YOU CAN. IF YOU MUST LEAVE TO TAKE COVER, DO SO. IF YOU LOSE SIGHT OF THE FUNNEL, ADVISE THE DIRECTOR. KEEP CALM AND USE GOOD JUDGMENT: REMEMBER A MISTAKE OR LOSING YOUR HEAD DOESN INVOLVE ONLY YOU. MANY PEOPLE DEPEND ON YOUR INFORMATION. INACCURATE OR FALSE REPORTS MIGHT COST THEIR LIVES. BE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. -14- PUBLIC WARNING CIGNALS The signals to be used to draw public attention to a peacetime emergency, such as tornadoes, flash floods, seismic sea waves, shall be a 3 to 5 minute steady tone on sirens or horns. In addition to action determined by local officials, the signal means "Listen for essential emergency information." This signal differs from the National Attack Warning Signal which is a 3 to 5 minute wavering tone on sirens or short blasts on horns or other devices, repeated as necessary. This signal means an attack against this country has been detected and that protective action shall be taken immediately.* SIGNALING DEVICES A community should use whatever signaling devices are available. If a fire siren is all that is available, an attempt should be made to devise a signal distinctly different from that used when proceeding to a fire. One example would be the use of several sirens or horns sound- ing simultaneously at full strength. *Office of Civil Defense Memorandum for State and Local Civil Defense Directors, December 1, 1565. — 1 6 — • ,z tr4 , `•.r s ti 1.

CLOUDS OF THIS NATURE ARE OFTEN OBSERVED IN THE VICINITY OF TORNADOES AND VIOLENT HAILSTORMS. HOWEVER, THE PRESENCE OF SUCH CLOUDS GIVES LITTLE WARNING OF THE APPEARANCE OF A TORNADO, SINCE THEY ARE GENERALLY NOT FORMED UNTIL AFTER A STORM CELL HAS BEEN PRQDUCED.(8) *Previously called "cumulus mammatus."
