I delivered newspapers in Omaha during that tornado and again during the 18” blizzard. Was 3-4 miles away from the tornado but no dodging the snow.
Yes. The paths of precipitation, whether rain or snow are normally always much broader than the path’s of tornados. We lived in the Midwest and upstate NY for many years, until my mom was (with 8 kids) sick and tired of winters; then my dad got an Air Force transfer to California. No winter, no tornados, just forest fires and an occasional minor earthquake.
