Alabama Scientists to Study Tornado Outbreak, Warnings

Scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville are organizing a research program to better understand the deadly outbreak of tornadoes that killed more than 240 people in Alabama and other Southeastern states on April 27. Supported by a one-year, $150,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the UAHuntsville team will analyze radar data from that day, then merge that information with detailed storm surveys and other data.
