All tornado data below are accurate to the best of our knowledge, but are considered preliminary and may be incomplete. Prior to 1950, we are attempting to pull historical tornado data together from various sources to build one single data base of all tornadoes ever recorded in the Baltimore-Washington Forecast Office's area of responsibility. The National Weather Service has transitioned to the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale; see for more information about the EF-Scale) since February 2007.

Space Science - Raging storms sweep away galactic gas - images. An artist’s impression showing a galaxy with a molecular outflow Raging storms sweep away galactic gas 9 May 2011 ESA’s Herschel infrared space observatory has detected raging winds of molecular gas streaming away from galaxies. Suspected for years, these outflows may have the power to strip galaxies of gas and halt star formation in its tracks. The winds that Herschel has detected are extraordinary.
This is the first time that such molecular gas outflows have been unequivocally observed in a sample of galaxies. ...some galaxies could completely expel their star-forming gas in as little as a million years... “With Herschel, we now have the chance to really study what these outflows mean for galactic evolution,” says Eckhard Sturm from the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik in Germany, the lead author of this work. Dr Sturm and colleagues used Herschel’s Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer to study 50 galaxies. Most Amazing Time Lapse Video of Milky Way Ever Made. Seriously.

Amazing Sight in the South Pacific. A yacht was traveling in the south Pacific when the crew came across a weird sight.
Look at these photos and try to imagine the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon. NO!!!! This is not a beach; it is volcanic stones floating on the water. then this was spotted, ash & steam rising from the ocean.. And, while WE were watching...

Used since the 16th century for navigation, straight lines on this map can be used accurately as compass bearings but the size and shape of continents are distorted. Compare this with Peters, Mollweide or equirectangular projection maps.

The original was apparently posted on Buzzhunt Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s incredible optical illusion website: You see embedded spirals, right, of green, pinkish-orange, and blue? Incredibly, the green and the blue spirals are the same color. At first I thought Richard was pulling our collective legs, being a trickster of high magnitude.
