Assignment 2

Sorry for lack of posting new post here recently as I was busy doing other assignments. OK, today I some research about hurricane. And I found out that actually a tornado can be formed in a hurricane, how they form? read here >> link

What is hurricane? hurricane is a tropical cyclone which is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. (source from >> link)

From Wikipedia, there's also stated that hurricane do cause tornadoes and others.
"Tropical cyclones out at sea cause large waves, heavy rain, and high winds, disrupting international shipping and, at times, causing shipwrecks.[74] Tropical cyclones stir up water, leaving a cool wake behind them,[25] which causes the region to be less favourable for subsequent tropical cyclones. On land, strong winds can damage or destroy vehicles, buildings, bridges, and other outside objects, turning loose debris into deadly flying projectiles. The storm surge, or the increase in sea level due to the cyclone, is typically the worst effect from landfalling tropical cyclones, historically resulting in 90% of tropical cyclone deaths.[75] The broad rotation of a landfalling tropical cyclone, and vertical wind shear at its periphery, spawns tornadoes. Tornadoes can also be spawned as a result of eyewall mesovortices, which persist until landfall.[76]"

In conclusion, I guess u all know what I planning to draw as I keep mentioning " tornado" .Yupz, I planning to draw tornado/es for assignment 2.
