Not as rare as one might think.

Yep, but look at the strength of those tornados. Every single one of them is a limp-wristed fairy tornado.

Not one of them is big enough to lift a house and transport it to Oz. Not even big enough to pick up Toto....

Great post. Interesting record. I remember the tornado in Solano County (SEP 18, 1989 F0). There was a huge wind that whipped up, from a dead calm. It had been raining, and when I went outside to observe the unusual gusts, I noticed that the temperature outside was unusually warm. I later heard that a tornado had touched down just east of our town. So the funnel cloud passed over our house, but didn't touch down for another mile or so.

Interesting to note that California tornadoes are rarely more than an F1. Enough, I'm sure, to create havoc in a mobilehome park.
