To most of us, the 4th of July means a day off from work spent with family and friends, perhaps going to a parade, having a barbeque or watching fireworks. But Independence Day signifies so much more. It not only honors the birthday of our country, but the adoption of the Declaration of Independence which tells us that we are all "created equal."

Tornado Outbreaks Spawned by Tropical Cyclones at Landfall
The subject of tornadoes produced by landfalling tropical cyclones (tropical storms and hurricanes) has been a fascination (and a research interest) of mine for years. After working through several iterations of the research, the final manuscript was submitted to one of the professional journals of the American Meteorological Society. The A.M.S. journals, like most scientific publications, subject proposed articles to a formal peer review process. Following peer review, my manuscript was accepted, and published in the April, 2004 issue of Weather and Forecasting. Here is a link to the article.
