Yeah I can’t imagine having a tornado 3rd on my list because I had to put 2 other tornadoes in front of it. That’s some OKC nonsense right there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape of the valley must affect the helicity locally or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 More extreme damage from the Worcester tornado (photos I haven't seen). Idk how this one is not classified as a 5 in the databases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk how this one is not classified as a 5 in the databases. The EF-4 was supposedly assigned due to opinions that the wiped-out houses had been poorly constructed, but maybe in the background was the thought among tornado alley mets that 5s were impossible in New England.

This years tornado formed overhead so I just missed it, thankfully, as it strengthened SE and cut across rte8 heading for Hamden..the tornado alley of the northeast.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 This is the best metric for gauging the scale and degree of the "frustration" quotient in any present 'weather cinema' - .. it's like, wake up in the morning, swipe phone or mouse one's way across their PC interface, land on the subforum's main page, see one of these nostalgia threads have been recalled from the crypts ... no need to look at anything else. Considering this one goes back to Sept 2019 ... that's a pretty telling indictment of the piece-o-shittitude of this current modeling cinema. Yep... time to hide in nostalgia as alternative to present experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking home from work across Boston common with people stretched out on blankets and wearing sundresses as the temps pushed 80 for multiple days was special. Magnolias even started blooming. Just so so anomalous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
