Tables are easy to hand-code in a text-editor. There are basically 3 tags involved to make a complete table.
table (table) - this tag goes at the beginning of the table.
table row (tr) - starts a row
table data (td) - fills a column with data
You use them like this:

TWO-DAY ASSIGNMENT:
1. Please open Notepad ++.
2. Add all the necessary code to make a standard XHTML strict page.  (I would advise copying all the basic information - opening html tag, doctype, encoding, etc - from one of your existing pages!)
3. Write tables code to produce a table that looks like the example below. Include at least 8 famous tornado diasters.

Use the Natural Disasters or some other interesting information located in this online almanac or other appropriate source.
