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.
Tornadoes, while dangerous, are not the worst kind of severe weather. Hurricanes and flooding tend to cause more widespread damage and leave more people dead in their wake. Surprisingly, the worst type of severe weather event in terms of money is often the least expected-It is the drought.
