On this day in:

1924: 2 farms that were hit by an F4 tornado on that day would be hit again 42 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 11 days later by an F5 tornado. Well, they have a few at least a few more years before they need to begin worrying, eh?

Although, if this keeps up, I for one, wouldn't want to be present for the big one. The '68 storm destroyed 111 homes, killed 9 people in Tracy, MN and carried a steel I-beam 2 miles on a piece of roof.

1996: A thunderstorm downburst over the extreme SE part of VA's Arlington County caused gusts to 59 mph at Washington National Airport. Simultaneously with this, a jet shuttle was rotating for takeoff and clipped a runway light. Nothing to see here, move along now.

1997: Tourists at the Wright Brothers National Memorial at NC's Kill Devil Hills had a little bit of excitement on that day. A waterspout moved ashore at Baum Bay and damaged two homes. Then it traveled to Memorial and injured one person and damaging 9 cars.

"...steel I-beam 2 miles on a piece of roof."

That's one hell of a wind.

hit again 42 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 11 days later by an F5 tornado.

Isn't that the same as 42 years, 11 months, 3 weeks and 4 days?

[mmercier]

Anything on recent "ball lightening" incidents..?

Just curious.

[raygun]

Maybe. Could be pure balistics though.

Isn't that the same as 42 years, 11 months, 3 weeks and 4 days?

The "3" key must be stuck and they didn't know how to insert the hex code for it.

Or, they're graduates of Harvard and can't count.

[Khurkris]

Still raining here.

[Poodlebrain]

Nothing on ball lightning, but we had record rainfall for June 22nd in Las Vegas. We had 7/100ths of an inch yesterday to shatter the previous record of only 2/100ths of an inch. Monsoon season is a bitch here.

[raygun]

Alrighty, then. It seems you pass that little test. I'm trying to keep you guys sharp and on your toes. Yeah, that's that ticket.

[raygun]

Well, as I can see from post #9, that seems to be a phenomenon that's spreading. Apparently Las Vegas is now being affected too. At this rate and if this keeps up...

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

I thought the F4 was a Phantom. I don't know what the Tornado is...maybe we should ask the British.

[non-anonymous]

My neighbors here in MN got hit by a tornado a few years back. All it did was slide the silos a few feet away from the barn.

[Tennessee_Bob]

I think it's the GR1. Which shows how much of an airplane geek I am. Geeze. I need to get a life.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I suspect you mean phenomenonlet in the title.


(JUST KIDDING!) :)

Ahh...I remember those days - I was at Nellis from 1984 to 1994. Now I'm back home in East Tennessee, where 7/100s of an inch is how much dew we have on the ground.

[Fierce Allegiance]

This is an RAF Tornado:

This is an F-4 Phantom:

This is an F-4 Corsair:

And finally, an F-4 tornado:

Thanks for the ping, newbie! ;)
I see you're in Michigan, too.
