IMPORTANT NOTE: If this is your first adult passport (first passport renewal after your 16th birthday), then use Form DS-11 instead of DS-82. The fee for first-time adult passports is $135. It is recommended that at least one parent appear in person with children ages 16 and 17.
Do wider tornadoes cause more damage? There is a statistical trend toward wide tornadoes having higher EF-scale damage. This can be because of more strength or because of greater opportunity for targets to damage, or a combination of both.
Strong (up to more than 120 mph) straight-line winds associated with thunderstorms knock down trees, power lines and mobile homes. Tornadoes (with winds up to about 300 mph) can destroy all but the best-built man-made structures. Where are severe thunderstorms most common? The greatest severe weather threat in the U.S. extends from Texas to southern Minnesota.
