Tornado stats are crazy this year

[shocksyde]

NOAA Storm Prediction Center numbers so far this year

Anyone else ever been in a tornado? Amazing (and, of course, scary) experience.

So this is what they will focus on this year, since hurricanes predictions haven't been too god lately. They need something to generate news, you know

I looked out my dorm window and saw a tornado throwing cars into the air. It went right though the student parking lot. The wind was so intense that it took several of us to open the door and run to the basement. As I was running down I looked out one of the stairwell windows and saw a dumpster floating in the air.

After we went outside to see the aftermath, I saw a corvette placed perfectly on top of another car with no damage and a basketball hoop turned 90 degrees (metal pole into concrete). Quite the amazing force of nature.

I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life and have never even seen one with my own eyes.

Its a huge media conspiracy, there are no such thing as tornados.

Hope you didn't get flooded like the folks in Boone.

Ya, we've had plenty already where I live. One picked up our neighbors house and moved it about 3 ft. Oh, and here are the pics of said tornado, for frame, we're about 5 miles from the tornado, and don't mind my brother, damn hippie KU law school students. This tornado occurred this year, actually about 3 weeks ago. We get em all the time though

No it's not! It's God punishing those in the midwest for voting for whichever it is that they chose in the Democratic primaries.

Maybe our technology for tracking tornadoes has gotten better over the last 4 years so we are finding more?

I might be wrong, but I don't think that's true. Tornado reports are reported by someone who saw them. They may also use radar to spot possible tornados, but I'm unsure if they use those as reports.

What technology has done is let us get a warning out faster and save more lives.

Dang, what happened to TastesLikeChicken?

 

[paulxcook]

I saw swirling clouds and possibly the start of one that never touched down when I was younger. We have them in Indiana regularly but I haven't seen one in person.
