Night tornadoes are twice as deadly

English Summary Vietnamese Summary
Tornadoes are strong winds that can destroy houses and cause damage. Lốc xoáy là những cơn gió mạnh có thể phá hủy nhà cửa và gây thiệt hại.
Some tornadoes happen at night, called nocturnal tornadoes. Một số lốc xoáy xảy ra vào ban đêm, gọi là lốc xoáy ban đêm.
These are more dangerous because people sleep and don’t hear warnings. Những lốc xoáy này nguy hiểm hơn vì mọi người đang ngủ và không nghe thấy cảnh báo.
Climate change may increase the number of tornadoes at night. Biến đổi khí hậu có thể làm tăng số lượng lốc xoáy vào ban đêm.
Some regions have many mobile homes. Một số khu vực có nhiều nhà di động.
These homes are not safe in a storm. Những ngôi nhà này không an toàn trong bão.
Experts say we need better early warning systems. Các chuyên gia nói rằng chúng ta cần hệ thống cảnh báo sớm tốt hơn.
People should make a plan for emergencies. Mọi người nên có một kế hoạch cho các tình huống khẩn cấp.
This can help save lives. Điều này có thể giúp cứu mạng sống.
A strong plan helps everyone stay safe in the area. Một kế hoạch tốt giúp mọi người ở khu vực được an toàn.
Experts suggest practicing what to do during the day and night. Chuyên gia khuyên nên thực hành những việc cần làm vào ban ngày và ban đêm.
