40 miles
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 06:12 PM by phantom power
40 miles... If that happened in Phoenix, it would be like plowing all the way thru Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Tolleson and Goodyear.

(Last Sunday) A supercell produced an F3 tornado (158-206 MPH) with a 31 mile long path in Webster County, Missouri. Another F3 tornado with a 40 mile long track passed through mostly rural land between Verona and Christianville, MO. An F2 tornado hit Gravois Mills, and numerous other F0 and F1 tornadoes also passed through Missouri. Damage surveys are not yet complete for some of the other violent tornadoes that affected the area, but I will pass along the results when they become available.

1. And they were really wide, too, weren't they?
Or at least one that I saw being discussed. I mean MILES wide.

2. At least a couple were a half-mile wide, which is quite wide.
Who can keep track? There were 133 of them. And this weekend might be another round.

3. And oh yeah, global warming is a myth propagated by tree huggers....
I live on the Gulf Coast and really fear the upcoming hurricane season.
