Here in Oklahoma we do not get a lot of snow.  However, many of us vacation or may someday live in mountainous areas.  What do you know about Avalanches?  Read this article to learn how to be safe.  

1.  What two things did you learn from the article?
2.  Would you rather be caught in an avalanche or a tornado?  Explain.

I learned that avalanches are dangerous ad you don't want to get caught in one. Even one slight sound can trigger an avalanche. Avalanches are falling piles of snow that can kill you. I would rather be in a tornado than an avalanche because tornados are scary also but I live in Oklahoma so i am destined to have to get used to them.
