Yes tornadoes are bad news and it must be scary to live in CA - but did
you see the "fire tornado" from yesterday's wildfire? Although it was
not big, it definitey looked imposing. Looked like one of those
disaster movies, come to life.

PS: Just drove through an area 2 miles or so from my home that was hit
by "small" tornado on May 30, 2008. Unfortunately it's a poor area -
guess what? Still looks like a war zone, 15 months later. dh

I recall a long time ago, the late Don Erickson and I had an ongoing
debate by letter ( yes, it was that long ago ) about the relative
scariness of earthquakes vs hurricanes. At the time I think we both
agreed that tornadoes were the worst.
What parts of California have to contend with in terms of natural
disasters simply isn't fair - earthquakes, monsoons coming in off the
ocean, mudslides, and the fires.
