If you thought tornadoes were muchly in recent US news, that’s because they were! This year 2023 set a new record in the first 3 months of any year, with 466 of the brutes tearing up the US. https://www.accuweather.com/en/seve...-of-tornadoes/1511963?traffic_source=Connatix January 2023 had the second most tornadoes of any January, 166, with January 2nd having 2 dozen! April has three out of 5 of the worst numbers of tornadoes in a 24 hour period. On YouTube, aerial drones are capturing on video, new aspects of the wild dynamics of tornadoes. I did not know till recently that some tornadoes have had straight-line speeds across terrain over 90MPH! Any of the storm chasers are highly risking their lives. For any reason a vehicle may become incapacitated, AND a tornado turns, occupants lives can be greatly at risk. I’ve seen with binoculars, some of the little whirlwinds that are in Eastern Washington, some times in the dozens, crossing the farmlands. I’ve seen two tornadoes at a distance, even here in western Washington state, that doesn’t get many tornadoes. Edwin, you must have seen tornadoes in Illinois with your travel-abouts.
