They'd be really busy! There are dozens that hit each prone state in any given season, but only a few make the news. I LOVE seeing them...but they're terrifying at the same time.

Love your Halloween avatar. BTW. How many tornados have you seen?

I followed a trail, here, for about 30 miles, about 2 hours after it happened. Lots of twisted and broken pine trees.

they do name some of them. But they are named after dates or the citys where they happend, like the Ground hog day tornado(Florida) , the Joplin tornado or the Chapman tornado...

Why Alfred??? Besides starting at the begining of the alphabet.


Why not Blitzen or Dasher - you know, something traditionally winter-y. (course then there is Cupid - who could cover early spring?)



Silly insanity.

Here's the thing - What constitutes a winter storm? How do they organize the names that way?

In the Northwest our storms are much different from most other people's, so if someone says "Bertrand is on the way" - Does that mean we're getting torrents of rain and wind? Or the east is getting feet of snow? Or maybe it's some lone supercell in the midwest?

Or does the Northwest even get names? Since we aren't very "wintery" compared to most, but we sure do get storms!
