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.

Anything on recent "ball lightening" incidents..?

Just curious.

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.
