While Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park have been established for decades, they are growing in popularity year after year. This increase in tourism is as a result of a push to make Utah a go-to tourist destination.
In doing so, they find themselves fleeing for their lives when a particularly nasty one turns and chases them to a nearby shed. There they find a water pipe anchored at least thirty feet in the ground. Dr. Jo and Bill quickly tie themselves to the pole and await the inevitable. The tornado strikes just moments later, tearing the shed to shreds.
There are a few breathtaking moments where you fear their lines won't last and their strength will give out, dooming them to the vortex. And then just like that, it passes as the tornado continues along its trail, pretending like it hadn't just tried to destroy their lives.
The power of the tornado is unimaginable. It could have meant the end of these two, and yet Dr. Jo and Bill come out of the experience unscathed.It's amazing to think that we could anchor ourselves to something so small and have it keep us safe from the strength of a tornado. Large buildings were left decimated in its path, and yet this one pipe came out damage free.
When commercialization comes, it comes fast sometimes. This is another reason that many rural people fight it. They believe that if they don't that there will be a disorganized and underplanned development in their small towns. While this completely depends on the city planners and the companies that are coming in, there are some serious things to worry about in this regard.
Just outside of Park City you can tour the Olympic venues, including four Nordic ski jumps, summer and winter freestyle aerial jumps, and a bobsled/luge/skeleton track. You can even experience the track at 70 mph during your own bobsled ride.
Just south of the point of the mountain, visitors and residents alike can enjoy the Thanksgiving Point farm, garden, and museum. Thanksgiving Point is dedicated to provide learning opportunities for families to learn about the natural world. Thanksgiving Point is expanding their already large campus with a new museum. The project's general contractor and his crew are hard at work to bring even more opportunities to families as soon as possible.
Second, seek out nearby shelter. If there's a place nearby, get to it, and hide in a room with no windows (for obvious reasons you wouldn't want the glass to shatter over you, nor the wind to get purchase in your room. Third, if there is no shelter nearby then get as far away from any trees and vehicles as you can. Then find a low spot in the ground-i.e. a gully or a ditch-and lie flat in it, face first.
Protect your head with an object or your arms and wait for it to pass. You may cock your head to the side and seriously doubt the effectiveness of this plan. "Where's the pipe?" you might ask. Well, sometimes you just don't have that option. Most of the time you'll only have a few minutes to respond before the tornado reaches your area. This is a proven plan of action that could save your life.
