RE: KILLER STORMS (TORNADOES) -- A FORCE OF NATURE…
I lived through an F3 tornado that destroyed portions of my home town in 1998. I saw (from a safe distance) an F2 that severely damaged the University of Iowa campus in 2006. And I saw this funnel cloud this past July from my house.
Wow... That is definitely a funnel cloud!
Does it seem like they are getting more frequent, to you..
I don't think they are getting more frequent. I remember the outbreak of 2011. I lived in Missouri when Joplin was hit. That was a scary year. But there have been similar outbreaks, like in 1974. I think '74 still holds the record for tornado touchdowns.
Yeah, 1974 and 2011 were devastating years for the number of tornadoes -- very scary!
