WHAT THE...? Virginia kicks Oklahoma's Tornado Butt???

#1 Postby Scott_inVA » Mon Mar 01, 2004 11:31 pm

Amazing, but true :eek:

Unless something dropped tonight and I missed it, Oklahoma's LAST confirmed TOR was May 16, 2003. And, there were NO reported TORs in OK from June to December, 2003.

Since Oklahoma's last tornado, Virginia (yes, Virginia... :wink: ) had 14 confirmed touch downs (not talking about UVA here)!

Now, to be fair, Oklahoma did have 78 TORs last year (nearly 50% above average) and Virginia had 31. But, y'all are bigger and the Old Dominion average is only 6 or 7!

Soooooooo.... I'm inviting anyone from SPC and any Alley chasers to stay at my house...FREE. Southern hospitality, beautiful scenery, great Civil War sites and plenty of tornadoes to chase :wink:

It's true - Oklahoma has seen a break from
twisters since May 2003. But, that record can only
hold for so long! It's March, I'm afraid!

Scott, this is a B&B deal, eh? You DO have a
chef on board? ;)
