The meteorological processes that create weather conditions have a strong effect on our daily lives. Many people begin each morning by listening to a local meteorologist report on the weather conditions expected throughout the day. Typically, an umbrella, some sunscreen, or a parka provides all the protection that we need against the elements. But when severe weather crops up, it can create conditions that are extremely dangerous to human lives and livelihoods. Weather-related events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods wreak havoc on the communities where they strike, destroying property and leaving injury and even death in their wake.
