Ten years or so ago, a twister hit Oklahoma City . . . and carved a mile-wide path of destruction between the homes of two of my aunts then living in OKC.

I’m wondering about the repeat hit. It seems Moore is subject to tornados. I grew up in North Texas and it seemed like Wichita Falls was always getting hit. Is there some topography that lends itself to the formation of tornadoes, or possibly sort of “funnels” a tornado along a certain path after it has formed? Does anyone know about that?

Well, according to this map below, you need to live in or close to the mountains if you want to avoid tornadoes.

BTW - Looks like there have been 4 long and nasty F4’s that have traveled through the Texas panhandle sometime in the past.

My heartfelt prayers and my donation goes out to the souls in Moore, Oklahoma—
Yet, is it just me or am I the only one who cannot stand to watch any more continuing breaking news any more. The reporters (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, local) are all like idiot savant parrots repeating the same wrong/misleading/inane semi-factiods over and over again?
