Severe Weather Paper

Due in class on Wednesday, October 19, 2005

Some hints/reminders about the paper:

• Make sure you follow the guidelines on content. Introduce your selected location and briefly mention types of severe weather that occur. Then discuss a single severe event in more detail.
• Choose a small geographical area, like a city. It is actually more difficult to write about a larger area.
• If you choose the suggested topic, then you do not need to write about the science behind the severe weather, i.e., this is not a technical paper. Do not try to incorporate material that we covered in class into your paper.
• Make sure you write about weather disasters, not other natural disasters such as Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanoes, etc.
• This is a short paper. Write concisely. Do not unnecessarily repeat yourself.
