New York Times' Breakdown of Moore Tornado
Excellent article here. They agree that Moore had more than a half-hour to prepare.
More Flooding Plus a Tornado Risk in California
More heavy rain (snow in the mountains) forecast. Rains have already begun over the southern two-thirds of the state. See 3:15pm radar below. In addition, there is small risk of a tornado, especially tomorrow morning, in coastal areas of Southern California, shown in dark green.
I hope at some point down the road that we will see a more indepth review of this tornado, basically like you did on Joplin.
ReplyDeleteI hate seeing the death toll from the Moore tornado at 24, but this is much lower than it could have been. I am interested in how many of those lost were taking shelter, what type of shelter, and how that type of shelter could have been improved (school hallways), or what type of shelters/building codes should come about from this storm.
I have a feeling that most of those lost, were in fact taking shelter, or were aware of the warning. But the intensity of the storm determined the outcome.
