Oh no, not the godless tornadoes?!!!!
You're not gonna get any sympathy from me... I'm from Massachusetts ;-P
A more fitting act of God is difficult to imagine.
C'mon, this is LA afterall.
Tie down the Porche Targa.
You might want to send them a nice letter saying how much you appreciate that new column. Believe me, they already receive a sufficient amount of hate mail, written in crayon, that suggests that my parents were never married.

To be fair, Drudge was just reporting what was going on at the weather service. Apparently it was some kind of "computer error", and they don't know how that happened. Sounds to me someone hacked into their computers. He was just reporting what happened at the service.
WOW!..that far north? We're in real trouble if YellowKnife, Yukon Terr., Point Barrow, AK and/or Hilo, HA., gets one. :))
sw
I havent seen any thing weird today at least by LA standards
Now I did see my dog spinning around about three feet up in the air but I just thought he was possessed by the Devil
Na for LA everythings normal
Britain has more tornadoes per unit area per unit time than any other country in the world. Most of them, however, are weak. There's been only a couple F4s and no F5s in the Kingdom.
The deadliest tornado in history apparently tore through Guangzhou, China some centuries ago.
Send an abuse report rather than a ping.... they may not look at the ping for a long time but they try to get to abuse reports quickly....
It's much quicker if you ask us using the report abuse link. Fixed.
Got it-Thanks

>>"PLEASE DISREGARD THE PREVIOUS TORNADO WARNING. NO TORNADO EXISTS."
>>It's not clear if weather service employees believed they were actually living through a shock scene from this summer's fuss film DAY AFTER TOMORROW, or if the event was simply a computer glitch gone horribly wrong.
Was this kind of like how the AP (or was it NBC?) was testing out something and the next thing you knew they sent out a report that Bob Hope had died? The dreaded
"computer glitch" or a case of "this is a test, this
is only a test..."
It's a flip-flop by the National F'n Weather Service.
You're welcome. Actually, it's better than pings or mail. The 'abuse reports' is our home page, and we don't mind things other than abuse coming there. It's a great way to contact us. Just remember, if you want a reply, leave your screen name. You're anonoymous to the moderators and we can not reply with out it. Sometimes Jim is here, and can tell us who posted the abuse report.
Got it--Thanks
Just trying to distract from BUSH GOING TO THE OLYMPICS
