As far as the pissing match on these Isabel threads about which is worse, a hurricane or a tornado

Is that what's going on? Because if so, it's ridiculous to compare them. Tornados pack more wind, but don't last long, and don't cause torrential rains and don't push storm surges. Apples and oranges.

When you see the path of a tornado, it's very destructive but narrow. The path of a hurricane typically isn't as intense but because it's far broader, it causes more damage overall.

Apples and oranges, apples and oranges. When Oklahoma starts having tornadoes that last 8 hours, we'll all bow down to Oklahoma, OK?

Now please put a sock in it, pretty please? You, and everybody else who wants to tell us all about tornadoes, please go away and let us talk about the hurricane.

Excuse me but what the @##@! is your problem? Did you read my post? I said it was silly to waste time comparing them, but since you want to make an issue of it - on May 3, 1999 there were 66 tornados that touched down over 11 hours, with the F5 that hit OKC on the ground for over 3 or 4 hours.

Don't flame me without a good reason or having your facts togeter - Idiot.
