Why are some people left handed?
About four percent of the population is left-handed. In the course of history, many of the greatest geniuses have also been left-handed. Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, the greatest sculptors of all times were both left-handed.
The brain has a right half and a left half, and these two do not function in the same way. It is believed that the left hand of the brain is predominant over the right half.
This being the case, the right half of the body is more skilled and better able to do things. We read, write, speak, and work with the left half of our brain. And this, of course, makes most of us right-handed too. But in the case of left-handed people, it works the other way around.
The right half of the brain is predominant, and such a person works best with the left side of his body.

How does a tornado form?
Tornadoes generally form in the severe ling lived thunderstorms that are known as super cells. Deep within a vast thundercloud, a column of strongly rising warm air is set spinning by high winds. As more and more air is sucked inti this swirling column, the column starts spinning even faster and faster, and a corkscrewing funnel starts to descend from the base of the cloud. This funnel is a tornado. The funnel acts like a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking things that lie in its path into the air, tearing the tops of the trees and causing death and destruction on a great scale.

Where is tornado alley?
The land in the central United states is the best breeding ground for the storms which produce tornadoes. The land here is relatively flat, which allows cold dry polar from Canada to meet warm moist tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico. Along the front between the two air masses, most tornadoes form, in area called 'Tornado Alley'. This area include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.
