Careful Mo. I hear that there are now tornado watches in Pennsylvania.

So far my area is just under a flash flood watch warning .. but I'm keeping an eye on the weather channel just in case

I haven't driven up 355 in twenty years... are you saying that Cider Barrel and the trailer park there are history?

The Cider Barrel building is still there, but has been out of business for several years. The trailer park behind it is now a construction site.

Tornado Reports aren't tornadoes.

The problem is the official tally of tornadoes comes out months after the day they occur, and because many of the reports turn out to be bogus, or multiple reports of the same tornado, it often results in a total actual number of tornadoes 1/3rd or 1/4th of the "reports."

well, yes, but so much for Ivan hanging out in TN for two days, then exiting east to the Atlantic.

Actually that is false.

It is much closer to 80% or so...and sometimes it is actually more than what shows up on the initial reports.

MOST of the tornadoes today have been REPORTED ON THE GROUND.

So the numbers are not only accurate but are way behind at this point.

"Is DNC Headquarters in danger?"

No. The hot air coming from the building is counterbalancing the tornado.

By the way, is it tornado or tornadoe? Do we need to ask Dan Quail?
