QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie I live in tornado alley and just like trains, you always expect one. But for whatever reason - Lincoln has never had a direct hit. We have had some very damaging straight line winds, horrible humidity, less snow than we did many years ago - (of course, now that I don't have to shovel it!) and our drought seems to be the biggest weather problem for us. Lincoln proper sits in a bowl. We have built out of that bowl and all around it. Now I wonder if they will see more tornados for "Lincoln" that are what used to be farm land a few years ago. Now densely populated. Our weather patterns are changing, IMHO. Any thoughts?

Professional courtesy.......The tornado gods figure that having to live in a square flat state is bad enough so they cut you some slack........[;)]
QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar We in Central Indiana understand the season is near....and all we can do is be aware and have a plan and of course pray we aren't scheduled for a direct hit anyways soon. This too is tornado alley and we've had some on the ground less than 1/2 mile from our home here in the past. Straight line winds are a given in this area in this season.

Thank you, Weather Gods I feel so honored. After all these years of interest in weather, studying weather in college, photographing weather, and just being amazed at the physics involved in making the weather, I have finally been granted an audience with those that I've prayed to. And to think, I owe it all to Trains magazine. Thank you, thank you. [bow][bow] p.s. welcome to the forums, Weather Gods.[:D]

Now densely populated. Our weather patterns are changing, IMHO. Any thoughts? Well, we all know that trailer parks are tornado magnets, and common wisdom has always been that a tornado would not strike a major downtown area, for a variety of reasons. As the residents of both Salt Lake City and Nashville found out a few years ago, tain't necessarily so. The downtown areas of both cities suffered direct hits by significant twisters. While our climate may be changing, the chances of being hit by a tornado probably remain about the same. As many a storm chaser can tell you, you just never know where the next one will hit. Tornados like the Tri-State of the 20's/30's were just as bad as the F5 Oklahoma suffered a couple of years ago. We just didn't have the ability to see or study it like we do now. So, like Mookie says, always expect a tornado. Keep your weather eye out and pay attention to the media. They have an unprecedented ability to detect and report developing storms, and the record will show that even if they are wrong more than they are right, the payoff of paying attention is "staying alive."

QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Just so all of you in the mid-states can get a laugh at our expense , we get TORNADOS in LOS ANGELES! Its a dirty little secret that the powers that be refuse to accept! very bad for tourism they think! but LA has the highest incidents of "cyclonic wind phenomena" (as the big heads out here call them,) WEST of the rockies! Back in the 90's we had a twister touch down in South Central LA tore up alot of roofs but I think all the Homeboy's scared it away. I found out that a significant twister tore the crap out of my nieghborhood in Pasadena back in 1919! I also have a photo taken back in the 1980's of a funnel cloud hovering over the City of Commerce east of downtown. they tend to come and go faster here than in the plains. FYI theres a movie coming out Memorial Day called "The Day After Tommaro" about the worlds climate gone mad and it plays the above with F-5 Tornados knocking the crap out downtown LA! Oh, and New York City gets whacked by a tsunami and a glacier too....
QUOTE: Tree68: You mentioned that trailer parks are tornado magnets, but that isn't exactly true. Just like the thing about how tornadoes never strike the downtown portions of the cities that is a kind of a myth.
QUOTE: You mentioned the Tri-state Tornado. Some scientists think that the tri-state tornado may have been a situation where one tornado would weaken and another would form in the same general area. This how the damage path lasted so long. Do you think that their was just one tornado or do you think that there were multiple tornadoes? I personally think that there was only one tornado. I don't think that anyone will ever know for sure though.
