Watched MANY videos of hurricane chasers and sometimes i DONT seem to get why some people are outside in shorts and some are in pants. I have been outside in T.S. Ida and T.S. Fay and Ida was a COLD and MISRIBLE LATE season hurricane with temps in the low to mid 60s and Fay was WARM and MUGGY!!! Both storms however i was wearing shorts!

Its warm and humid outside but its getting cloudy. The wind is picking up rapidly and i live in Mass. I heard that a tornado touched down in New York but i don’t know what conditions were like there. Its in mid 80′s here without the breeze but every now and again the wind will pick up and die down. There is a HUGE line of storms moving in East and i was wondering is this possible weather for tornadoes to form? Thanks

Last night I dreampt that I had to get up and pick up my toddler daughter from her fathers house, about half hour drive away. My current boyfriend who I am with, was driving our car, when we started hearing reports that bad storms were on the way. We looked out our window and saw a tornado form ahead of us on the road. I looked over at my boyfriend to see if he planned on pulling over or what we were going to do, but he took his hands off the wheel of the car and I didn’t know what was going to happen. We continued to drive and I kept seeing tornados forming in the sky. Somehow we suddenly had my toddler daughter with us, and the tornados were still forming so I convinced my boyfriend to go to a bar for safety. Once inside I could see that they had a main bar area and steps down to a basement. I asked one of the bartenders if we could go downstairs for safety and she brushed past my schoulder and completely ignored me. When I told my boyfriend he didn’t even care that there were tornados coming and that the bartender ignored my request to seek safety for my daughter and I.

I want to learn about harsh weather, such as storms that can put down tornadoes. I can’t find any where online that I can learn about them for free. I have no money for college and can’t find any books around my area. Can yall help me out pleae? I really want to storm chase if possible one day…but I wont unless I know what I’m chasing! Best answer gets 5 stars!
i took one storm spotting class this year. Now I want to educate myself during the "off season". Any websites,movies or books anyone recommends? And thanks for your reply! My hero is Reed Timmer from Storm Chasers!

I know that such a thing does not even exist on the scale, and that size is not a determining factor in the classification of a tornado. However, it is historically accurate that tornadoes higher up on the F/EF scale have been larger. I also know that the Earth cannot generate such winds. I am speaking purely hypothetical, as in an apocalyptic scenario where the storms of other planets (i.e. Jupiter ) become possible on Earth. I’m a curious person.
Not to sound ungrateful for the answers I have so far, but it seems as though my question is more educated than its given answers. I would like an accurate size estimation, i.e. number of miles wide, and an accurate damage report, as in estimation of square miles covered and possible damage costs (though I admit THAT may be asking too much). Again, I am grateful for those who have taken the time to answer, I just have a more… specific answer in mind. Thank you.

What does the american government do about the destroyed houses due to the tornadoes. Do the government pay for new houses? Or are the americans supposed to pay a tax to the government for natural disasters? Sorry, I’m not american so I cannot really understand how americans get by while they have their houses destroyed. How long does it take to start living normally again?

Personal experiences are welcome =)

It’s well-known that George Soros has weather machines to create storms & tornadoes.

The latest tornadoes have hit Northern California!

Before you say "it’s a Liberal state, why would Soros attack there" – it has hit in Conservative, rural counties in California that tend to vote Republican.

I live in Greene County, TN and was fascinated by the recent storms, although i am devastated at the loss our local communities experienced. The NWS sent out these people to confirm that it was in fact a tornado. I want to be one of those people. What do I need to do in school to do it?

Prologue

Slowly I am losing sight of you. Your picture becomes more and more vague with each day, until it will become transparent. I will forget you eventually, and move on. Time can’t heal my heart, but it can cover the scars up with a mask. A mask made by one person. But who? Once again, only time can tell. Only time can tell when I’ll lose sight of you, too.

You are like the only storm cloud rumbiling above my head. You created the thunder, and I created the lightning. Just like any glorious storm, we were two elements that had to be put together. Rain and clouds, sun and rainbows, and of course, thunder and lightning.

Together we stood; but together doesn’t last forever.

There are also storms that don’t usually last long at all. Like tornadoes.

 You were my tornado. You came and went in an instant, taking my barely beating heart with you.

Even though, I will continue to wake up. Even though I will be crying on the inside, I will still remember to breathe. Not for you, though. For me.

I’m not the same person anymore.  Instead I’m the me you have made. Bruised, scratched, beaten, and tossed in the trash like garbage.

I used to ADORE storms. I used to stare at them in awe when I was a kid. They were like lullaby’s to me. Then I ended up watching tornado videos on YouTube and then a severe storm came around and I literally freaked out. My palms started to sweat, my arms and legs were shaking, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t do ANYTHING without thinking about the terrible storm outside. It wasn’t really bad, but it had some pretty epic lightning that was constantly flashing like strobe lights. It was also pretty windy, with hailstones about the size of beads. Anyways, then maybe three weeks later, another storm came around, and I ended up crying for a little because I was so scared. I know that it’s not a serious medical condition or crap like that, because it’s wearing down a bit. Any suggestions on how to forget about the storms and enjoy them? Thanks :)

My girlfriends parents kinda frown upon my living standards. I just kinda blow it off, It’s just amazing how many ignorant people are out there. I can’t hardly stand to speak to these stuck up a**holes anymore.

It’s not like my place is a dump, It’s on 2 acres in the mountains, a nice clean 16 x 80, I own the land and a 2 car garage. It has 6 inch walls a singled roof and looks great, I don’t see the problem here.
They are always telling me I need to think about buying a nice house in the city. I think that is absurd. I just paid off my place, and it’s more than nice enough for us.

Why is everyone so focused on their image? They live in 700,000 dollar house with 4000sqft, and it’s just the two of them. And they make less money than I do, they just paid for it through selling their last house, which they lived in for 35 years.

We never get bad storms/tornado’s here.. just blizzards.

This is the radar: http://www.newson6.com/category/158741/warn-interactive-live-radar?redirected=true

The storms are in the middle of the state, tornados on the ground. If you see where the town marked Muskogee is, I’m in the county directly to the east right in the middle. Can someone give me an idea of what’s about to happen? Any atmospheric conditions you might be aware of that will either send this storm to the south of us or make it fall apart in the next 2-3 hours? Two people have already died in this storm and I’m scared sh*tless. We don’t have a tornado shelter or anything (we’re renters so we have no choice about it).
Where I’m at is on the eastern edge next to Arkansas. The town is called Tahlequah if you know where that is. Please tell me something I’m going crazy.

A few months ago Foster City, CA had a emergency alert system pop up on the tv and stated there was a warning that a tornado was headed our way from near the golden gate bridge or some crap and im just trying to figure out if california is at risk for tornados in the winter/spring months because that was the 1st scare ive EVER had/heard about in the 25 years ive been alive. can anyone explain this to me? it pretty much scared the crap out of me and now im terrified of thunderstorms/storms in general.
so then whats the difference between a twister and a tornado? are twisters life threatening or do the damage houses? do you believe that the tornados we could actually have here in california cause any damage to roofs, windows, harm humans?
@ shhhh-its me: yes, it was about a month ago and they notified all of the bay area about it. it was raining really hard that day with 70 mph winds which arent likely over here at all… so ya, it freaked me out a lot! now im terrified its going to happen again when theres rain or thunder or strong winds..

Change?

These storms were more numerous, more intense, larger and stayed on the ground much longer than usual.

Let’s see. They also don’t believe that Obama was born here.

What else can they deny?

I keep hearing from people that massive tornado storms have crossed in the US and that many people died. I hate to ask, well no because I am curious and I want to know now, but how do you die in a tornado??? What about a family of 5 that were in the basement?

Did all these people die from what? Do you die from being thrown? Being sucked into the actual tornado and the pressure popping your ears/lungs ect? Are you alive in the tornado for some time in pain knowing that you are flying around in the air? Do you die from shock? Or do you die from other objects being thrown onto you?

The Internet reports didn’t say anything how how.. All I’ve read is "208 people died from Midwest tornado" ect..

Sorry to be so gruesome but it’s been a question I can’t seem to get an answer from by myself.
Kratos.. That’s exactly what I was expecting I guess. That’s why I can’t figure it out on my own. No one survived to tell.. Totally right.

I am under a tornado watch until 9pm. However looks like the line of storms from the front will be out of the area long before then. If the storms are gone, and I don’t see rain on the radar coming, can I still get a tornado? Why a tornado watch until 9pm?

And has taken rebirth in a deep hell for his massive negative Karma?

And that’s why this prayer is answered so effectively:
I pray for heartbreak, loss of belongings, mayhem, being at the wrong place at the wrong time, sexual molestation, rape, murder, loss of a loved one, drug dealers, addiction to narcotics, expensive insurance, expensive rent, your dog getting ran over, tornadoes and tsunami-**** storms obliterating everything, and drunk drivers.

Everyone of my prayers gets answered.

My family and I live on the very top (3rd) floor of our apartment complex. We feel that the structure is weak because we feel the apartment move when trucks go by (we’re by a highway). Storms in Georgia have recently wiped out top floors of apartments & we’re worried that in the event of a tornado we will meet the same fate. We don’t know anyone in the complex where we can take shelter & the management has no plan of action when it comes to this. Is there anyway to be safe?

Blondy came in Thursday evening with a nice cut on her leg. In the five years I’ve had her she has not been injured. My bf has had her since she was two, she is now 11, and she was treated like a cow, basically sprayed some furason on and let her go. Her cut does not look bad but I know from the swelling their is more than meets the eye. She let me cold hose it once, but won’t let me clean it and barely lets me put ointment on it. This was from the storms that rolled through, we had golf ball and quarter size hail, tornado warnings and swirling clouds, so I left them out. Do not lecture me on that my horse was the only one out years ago when tornadoes came through and the only one to survive when the barn collapsed. I have cleaned and taken care of countless counts on countless horses including a car accident victim. I know how to clean it but have never had a horse so wimpy. She won’t let me get near it now without her lashing out at me. If i try to cold hose she starts to rear, and lash out. It is getting dangerous for her and me. Any ideas? She is actually not lame at all, which is surprising given how swollen and hot it is.
Pics of wound and swelling.

Front view shows the swelling in her front right leg other is of the wound which really doens’t look like much but the top might me deep but I have no idea. Any ideas on cleaning a wound on a horse with no pain tolerance?
Its not infected, yet. She has let me clean it once and it was not there wednesday and there on thursday. It has not had time to get infected. I have been fighting with her cleaning it so i know its not infected yet but if she continues with her attitude it likely will get infected.

Is this be punishment form God. Read the paper.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Tornadoes and flash flooding have left at least 5 people dead in Virginia and crews are continuing to assess damage the severe weekend storms caused across several areas of the state.

Virginia Department of Emergency Management spokesman Bob Spieldenner said Sunday that three people died and scores suffered injuries in Gloucester County, where a tornado cut through a 12-mile swath, uprooting trees and destroying homes. Neighboring areas such as James City, Isle of Wight and Middlesex counties also experienced heavy damage. The National Weather Service also reported at least one tornado touched down Saturday in Dinwiddie County.

Spieldenner says farther west, flash flooding killed two people in Waynesboro, and prompted other water rescues. Officials reported flooding along the northern Interstate 81 corridor, and said floodwaters damaged homes and other property.
the dirt road has turned into river and the stupid tourists left us behind for ourselves. We is on high ground in the mountains so it is alright if we has no mudslides. many goat and cattle has washed away but the doggies is okay, they is good swimers and the cats climbed up on the trees.
tod you is talking to a guy who has a GED D+ third try. I dont like all the science stuff. I is a hunter, we hunts for our foods. I know about guns.
