Ok, most of you southern people are so used to this shit by now its like another rainy day to you :) BUT, this is still some cool facts about tornados, epecially since we had an F5 hit our area this past week.
Tornados are graded by the Fujita Scale. This is a combination of strength of wind, and damage done to property and surrounding areas. Fujita Scale
If you are the kind of person that likes to be prepared in case of an event like this, check this out. Tornado Safety Tip Brochure
Or, you can just check out this site. Tornado FAQ
Iv'e always wanted to do this! --> Tornado Chasing Yeah, I have the parental inlaws in Arkansas, but I have YET to see a tornado there. So far here in Va, we have been through 3 now. 3 year ago this May, Scott and I were in Jamaica when dozens of tornados touched down in tornado alley. I remember watching Jamaica TV and them showing the broadcast of what was going on. I MISSED IT YET AGAIN! I think its a trend now. Kinda like every time I wash my car it rains. Except this time, it was really dirty and it decided to F5 the next day. So much for my luck.
Yes, I have a wife that is disappointed no tornados hit Arkansas when she visits. Oh. My. God.
:)
