The twister is a natural phenomena in America. Rob saw a twisters' power. Rob was in his farmyard in Texas. The twister was passed through the farmyard. The twister struck the house.This book describes how twisters occur.

The theme of the book is to strengthen the knowledge of twisters, and teach us when the twister will come. They have got strange showers, and it teaches us how to better protect ourselves. The book is a good popular science book. The book shows animals have sharper senses than human beings. Many know when the weather is going to change, or when a bad storm or an earthquake is going to happen.

Waterspouts are twisters that happen out at sea. They whisk up water. The tallest waterspouts can be 1.6 kilometres high. When twisters drop the things that they pick up, strange things can happen. A twister in England once caused a shower of frogs to fall to the ground.

We can't change natural phenomena, but we can expect them and prevent damage from them. We will know how some animals can feel bad things, how twisters are formed , and how to prevent disasters.

I feel the book is good because the story is very alarmingly dangerous. And it has some photos. I feel the book a little difficult, but I wish other students read it, because this book has got valuable knowledge.
