At least it is a relatively small chance.ReplyDeleteRepliesReplyMike SmithJune 26, 2011 at 10:21 AMActually, 15% is a fairly large chance. The 15% refers to a tornado within 25 miles of any spot in the 15% area. Since tornadoes are infrequent, 15% is a fairly high number. The black hatching is areas that could experience an F-2 or greater intensity tornado.ReplyDeleteRepliesReplyThe MonsterJune 26, 2011 at 10:23 AMEven without tornadoes, doesn't that also mean more rain, and high straight-line winds that could push the Missouri over the top of levees?ReplyDeleteRepliesReplyAnonymousJune 26, 2011 at 11:24 AMIf I remember correctly, Joplin was in a 10% hatched area on May 22 so those probabilities are nothing to sneeze at.
