The author grew up in an area known for tornadoes,
where there was a lengthy and virulent “tornado season” every
year. All over the world, a tornado touches down every second. That’s
a lot of whirlwinds. In his book Air: The Restless Shaper of the
World, William Bryant Logan discusses how air circulates, what makes
it move, how to attract rain and what prohibits clouds from turning
into rainclouds. He talks about whirlwinds and tornadoes, and
discusses the damage that air can do when it is in this circular
shape.
Growing up in a high tornado area during tornado
season, I’ve witnessed my fair share of storms. The snakelike body
of the tornado as it winds down to the ground, ripping up everything
in its path and the way that it gradually draws air in closer and
closer until the air couldn’t escape if it wanted to. Like a
magnet, the closer an object is to the tornado, the harder there is a
pull on it.
Of course, when a tornado siren sounded, you better
have a storm shelter, because if you don’t, and you were in the
path of the whirlwind, then there is a huge problem and no time to
fix it. People have died because the door of their storm shelter came
loose or got stuck when they were trying to get inside.
Today, we have many solutions to the same problem,
such as grabbing a mattress and curling up in the centermost part of
your home, away from windows. We also have community centers where
residents can camp out when a particularly bad storm comes by. And in
ecological terms, we have a lot of earth safe chemical solutions for
your daily activities.
Whether your businesses uses solvent
free degreaser or dishwasher rinse aid, and whether your jobsite
has any use for diesel bug killer or radiator
cleaner, we have you covered at Envirosafe Solutions. Our eco
friendly industrial liquid, like our environmental cleaning products,
