Does this seem like a particulary slow season, or has it not really started in your opinion?

I have read what the stats say, but what has been your experience as the true optimal tornado season?

I have a theory about tornados and trailer parks that has to do with their A/C units. I guess the heat from the bbq's could be a contributing factor as well.

You are thinking about mobile/trailer home parks. In N. Texas and S. Oklahoma they have two types. The white-trash, mobile homes that look like they stacked one next to another - then you have neighborhoods with manufactured mobile homes, which are hurricane strapped (can withstand 100+ direct mph wind)..

Most of what you see on TV is the white-trash ones. Normally the tornados don't hit them directly, the wind from a few miles away is strong enough to push or crush the homes when 100+ mph winds hit the house.

I have lived all over the United States - The Texas/Ok region is only place I have lived that the weather stations show how strong the winds are in front of the storms, this is before they show the storm radar. We have storm, hail and tornado sirens to warn us, everyone owns a weather cube.

Can you use google? Answer to both questions is no.

Texas has had 8 in the last few weeks that I can remember hearing about, I think Ok had a few during that time too. We are just now in peak season even though they last all summer and part of the fall.

mattz · 04-30-2007, 06:44 PM

I live close to the end of tornado ally (south WI), and their is a really bad storm here right now. I know this has nothing to do with this thread, but I thought I would mention it, storm are awesome!

Oct 24th 2002 less then a month before I quit my factory job to do the internet thing fulltime I was working in a factory that a tornado hit less then 300 ft from where I was taking shelter in Indiana..

Trust me when I say a tornado is no joking matter! I'm glad I'm in AZ now and don't have to worry about those anymore

Abyss Al and I are planning on chasing some this year, but they have not been very cooperative.

One went through our town the other night and destroyed a huge building .. we get ALOT of them around here :-(

On May 3, 1999 the strongest tornado ever and strongest winds ever recorded on Earth passed within 5 miles of my house.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Tornado_Outbreak
In the south Oklahoma City area close to 10k homes were either flattened or damaged to the point of being uninhabitable, yet thanks to our local weather channels and the NOAA Storm Prediction Center being only 20 miles away there were only 36 deaths. One advantage of being in tornado alley is that the Radar and tornado experts here are really good at letting you know when and where they are forming. For the 1999 tornado we had up to 30 minutes warning and 2 news choppers in the air showing where the tornado was going.

I drive by this area several times a week

This is the High School I graduated from

To answer baddog's question, Tornado season is in full swing. We had a few last week and even one in March during a real warm spell. It just depends on when we get the cool air mixing with the warm air. The location of the jet stream is a big factor. We have strong storms starting tonight and are supposed to have a bad pattern for tornadoes for the next 7 days in a row. May is usually the worst month, so sounds like perfect timing.
