Frank Lombardo Episode 2: Triangulating clues to tornadoes
Although dust devils can provide clues to tornado winds, U of Illinois wind engineer Frank Lombardo says tornadic behavior is still largely a mystery – and a bigger risk than researchers previously thought. He details ways wind engineers are piecing together answers, including simulations and damage surveys.

Episodio 2: Triangulación de pistas sobre tornados
Aunque los remolinos de polvo pueden dar pistas sobre los vientos de los tornados, Frank Lombardo, ingeniero de vientos de la Universidad de Illinois, afirma que el comportamiento de los tornados sigue siendo un misterio y un riesgo mayor de lo que pensaban los investigadores. Lombardo detalla cómo los ingenieros eólicos están reconstruyendo las respuestas, incluyendo simulaciones y estudios de daños.
