Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of ...

Hurricanes and low pressure systems do spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Tornadoes usually do, though not always. The behavior of the intense thundershowers that produce tornadoes ...

Tornadoes do occur in the Southern Hemisphere, albeit at a greatly reduced frequency than in the Northern Hemisphere, primarily because it includes the U.S., which hosts about 75 percent of the ...

The National Weather Service officially ranked the tornado Sunday, April 15 as an EF2. It maintained that strength, as it crossed 30 miles into Greensboro and then Rockingham County. While we've ...
