This relates to me in the way that I have been through tornadoes before and know what it is like to have one near you. I remember when I lived at my old house a tornado was close by and we had to hide in the interior of our house because we did not have a basement. Luckily the tornado missed us because otherwise we might of been hurt. Many people in Alabama are feeling the same way because either the tornadoes missed them or they took a direct hit from them.

This relates to something I read about huge tornadoes that occured in the past in which they talked about some of the most devastating tornadoes ever. Tuscaloosa, Alabama has experienced a tornado of great destruction and could continue to be hit by more tornadoes in the following weeks. Tornadoes cause destruction and can not be stopped or prevented, they will destroy everything in their path. Throughout history tornadoes have been a natural disaster that killed people and destroyed homes.
Text to World:
This could affect the rest of the world in the way that the storm system that moved through the U.S. could be moving toward Europe. Europe may also experience tornadoes and other effects of the storms. This storm system may also just disappear on its way to Europe and not cause them any damage at all. Right now the world is having a lot of storms, we just need to be able to withstand them and hopefully the storms will stop sooner or later.
