Science On Screen®:
Tales of traveling tornado debris and tornado alleys
Athens Ciné (Athens, GA): May 3, 2022

It's not (just) in Kansas anymore: Dr. John Knox (University of Georgia) discusses the increasing danger from tornadoes and their aftermath across the US.

We encourage you to pair this conversation with THE WIZARD OF OZ! Dorothy Gale is swept away to a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home.

Dr. John Knox is a Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of Geography at the University of Georgia, where he is the Undergraduate Coordinator for the UGA Atmospheric Sciences Program. He is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, and his research includes groundbreaking work on debris flung by tornadoes, some items traveling farther than 200 miles.
