Tornado Spasm: Largest March Outbreak in History?

Grand Rapids Press:

NORMAN, Okla. — Stories of destruction and survival are starting to emerge from this week’s deadly tornado outbreaks, which have killed at least 51 people and flattened communities in a wide swath of the nation’s eastern midsection.

Storm chaser and meteorologist Reed Timmer, who was racing after some of those deadly twisters with cameras and weather instruments, said this weekend’s bout of extreme weather is possibly the largest March tornado outbreak in U.S. history.

“The storms were moving so fast it was very difficult to keep up,” said Timmer, a 1998 Forest Hills Central graduate who was recently the star of the canceled Discovery Channel show “Storm Chasers.”

“It also makes them that much more dangerous.”

At least 50, possibly more, reported tornadoes touched down between Friday and Saturday. Timmer said that number could be double when things are sorted out.

  1. Will Sen James Inhofe (REP-OK) now recant, or will there be a popular revolt to unseat him.

    Some might say that he deserves castrated, forced to eat his own testacles; and then hung, drawn, and quartered. However, I could not possibly comment.

    The very least that should happen is that the advance copies of his new book should be sold to the Tea Party so they will have plenty of material for their next Nazi-style book burning ceremony.


  2. Will Sen James Inhofe (REP-OK) now be unceremoniously ejected from office and copies of his new book sold to the Tea Party for their next book burning session?
