I remember looking south from the Oval on the campus of OSU in Columbus late afternoon at clouds as black as night. We learned later that day that the town of Xenia, Ohio had been virtually wiped from the map. 36 people were killed in Ohio and 315 in 13 States during the super outbreak of which the Xenia tornado was just one part. Tornadoes are a fact of life in the late Spring and Summer months for all of the Midwest and Central States. Of course, our winters can be a bit rough too.

I am acquainted with the NWS meteorologist-in-charge in Tulsa OK and he is originally from the Tri-state tornado area. Two years ago, he presented a study he did on the storm to the local storm spotters training. He evaluated the tracks (the map in your post was included) and damage reports to determine the Enhanced Fujita scale ratings. It was very interesting.

Hogwash, These storms did not happen before Global Warming started under GW Bush. Do I really need this?</sarcasm>
