Yes tornadoes are bad news and it must be scary to live in CA - but did you see the "fire tornado" from yesterday's wildfire? Although it was not big, it definitey looked imposing. Looked like one of those disaster movies, come to life.
Dave PS: Just drove through an area 2 miles or so from my home that was hit by "small" tornado on May 30, 2008. Unfortunately it's a poor area - guess what? Still looks like a war zone, 15 months later. dh ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 16:59:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Russ Edmunds <[email protected]> To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IRCA] [Tvfmdx] Mt. Wilson Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 I recall a long time ago, the late Don Erickson and I had an ongoing debate by letter ( yes, it was that long ago ) about the relative scariness of earthquakes vs hurricanes. At the time I think we both agreed that tornadoes were the worst. What parts of California have to contend with in terms of natural disasters simply isn't fair - earthquakes, monsoons coming in off the ocean, mudslides, and the fires.
