is that "trolling"
And to turn this around..
what is the nature of such tornadoes.
I know that most of the ones here are so short-lived that they are hard to spot in advance.

Actually... those two towns SF posted are only 30-40 miles apart(Pineville is in the northern part of Berkeley which borders Clarendon).

hurricanes are the worlds most powerful storms, far eclipsing even the most sizeable tornadoes in damage, but a very large F5 tornado is indeed a wonder of nature, both beautiful and absolutely devastatingly deadly and unpredictable. I think the sheer power and perfection of any large force of nature is cause for admiration. To be both feared and respected, but also awe inspired. That is hte nature of a weather enthusiast.

30-40 miles is ...
that's quite a distance for non-feederband tornadoes, but since that is a feederband.. makes sense.

I can see where Innotech is coming from. Witnessing several tornadoes in my lifetime has helped me appreciate the destructive, but yet strangely beautiful and a organized phenomena of nature, such as hurricanes, blizzards, lightning, and even hail ... oddly enough, in Wyoming, a severe thunderstorm capable of producing one inch hail has cropped up (indicated by the larger green triangle ...

Uh oh, severe thunderstorm warning for Lexington County, SC near the Gaston area (near Columbia), doppler radar indicates a severe thunderstorm capable of producing damaging winds ...
Doppler radar indicated two MESOs near the Aiken, Lexington County border moving NORTH at 35 mph ...
