Why Rural Communities Fight Commercial Development
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.
While many boast that there will be an increase in jobs when rural communities decide to develop, there is not a serious look at what kind of jobs sometimes. These jobs may not even be applicable to community members who have been raised on farming or working the mines. It may be a new paper factory, headquarters for the next up-and-coming company, or another out-there company that will end up attracting people from outside the community in order to fill its job slots.
The peak of Mount Timpanogos is one of the tallest in the entire state, with an elevation of 11,752 feet. Unless you are an experienced winter climber, it's best to hike this trail in the late spring, summer or early fall. The hike is about 14 miles round trip-so be prepared. Be sure to bring plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen.
This leads you to question, "What is the best thing to do when you're outside during a tornado?" There's not always going to be a thirty foot pipe that a construction management group conveniently placed in your path that you can just tie yourself to.
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.
