I don't think there's any real compelling evidence to suggest what kind of tornado season this'll be.  The only real long-term predictor is El Nino... I believe that a La Nina pattern actually trends towards slightly more tornadoes, and that we are in a slight La Nina, but the difference is not very large.  However, right now we are locked into a trough in the western US, ridge in the eastern US pattern which suggests that at least for the next week, it should be quite active.  The number of tornadoes in Oklahoma all depends on the exact location and setup of storms, things we really have no handle over beyond at most about a week, and climatologically I don't believe there are big predictors.  So your guess is as good as mine or anyone else's at this point.  Winter does not say much about spring conditions usually.  One final note: http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead01/off01_prcp.gif shows that climatologically it's more likely to be drier the next three months than usual in Oklahoma, so you might conclude that would lead to less tornadoes (though that's not always true!).

They were chasing here in Ohio, last week. I haven't been out, since it warmed up. It may be related to this funky heat wave. I know it is supposed to get cold again after this next front comes through. It is supposed to cool down by Friday here, so it should drop where you are Thursday. Best of luck to you.

Depending on where you are, it CAN "get cold" in the spring.  I grew up in Chicago.  During the spring, there could be a time of 80 degree weather...and then the temps would drop and a blizzard would come.  In fact, I can remember one spring it did just that.  So yeah, I'd say that's "getting cold" when you just had a period of warm weather.  Plus, when she put her sweater on, it was night time.  If it was warmer during the day, it would make sense, as night comes, for a person to say "it's getting cold" since the temps are now dropping since the sun is no longer out.    The biggest part of that statement, however, ties into when Cole says later on in the movie that it's ghosts who cause it to be cold like that (and they show it throughout the movie).  Based on Cole, we are to know that the guy who shot Malcolm could also see ghosts and saw them all the time like Cole did.  If that was the case, it was most likely that the guy was also seeing them in Malcolm's house...which would account for a drop in temperature and for his wife to state "it's getting cold."\n\nA lot of the time passing was done primarily for shock value.  It wouldn't have made sense to hint at a breakdown of communication between him and his wife and a possible affair if the events took place immediately after he was shot.  Having the time pass allowe dyou to think these things were happening...until you realize he actually was dead.  As far as him working...it's most likely he thought he was taking quite a bit off work after being shot.  With his "recovery" and the fact that he would have realized he actually did not help the guy who shot him when he was his therapist.  I'd imagine he was trying to do a bit of "soul searching" to figure out where he went wrong...though he didn't realize it unntil he was working with Cole.  \n\nAnd don't forget the key thing here...the ghosts could only see and hear stuff they wanted to see and hear.  \n\nAll that said, you have to remember this is a *movie*...a work of *fiction*.  Don't overanalyze stuff...and just enjoy the movie for what it is...a movie.  Save the analytical thinking for documentaries and historically accurate movies.

I have. I took pictures of this one that came right by my house. This tornado was in Tennesse so it was big for us down here. Also a few years ago a twister came through part of my town and destroyed the school i was going to. Since my town is so small and my school is so small we had class in our courthouse.

I live in tornado alley and used to live in a mobile home it was just less expensive at the time.  I now own a home but you know I hear of more houses getting hit by tornadoes than trailers.  I guess you just take out insurance and hope for the best.

There are a lot of people on here who answer just so they can belittle people. I have lived on or along the Gulf coast all my life and hurricane's are a fact of life, if we asked why people built there every time a tornado hit the Midwest people wouldn't like that either. These are our homes and this was where we were raised and just like good Americans everywhere we will fight to keep and protect what's ours. Good luck girl and keep your chin up not everyone on here is a dipstick!

I live in Missouri...seen 10 + tornadoes in my lifetime in this area.  Tried chasing storms for a while a few years ago...went into Kansas and Oklahoma and seen most of them when I did that.  As a kid, I think I was 8, there was one that traveled about 1/4 mile from my house and we watched it.  Wild stuff....I love storms, the more destructive, the better.  My apologies to those of you who disagree with that statement, but it's just my opinion.  Don't like it?  Sorry 'bout your luck.

I'm in Athens and it's cold, about 12 degrees Celcius and I will get lower. I'm not used to the cold and to cloudy days. I feel depressed, my feet are cold and I miss warm sunny days...Winter is terrible and snow is coming...bloody hell!

I reside in Dallas, Texas and you just never know. For instance today it is going to be a high of 88 degrees..tomorrow 74 and Sat only 66 and windy. Its normally mild here and sometimes windy..but we do have nice warm sunshiny days. I would prepare for chilly weather but not Artic or freezing...

I've seen several funnel clouds, those are an awesome and chilling sight. By the time you notice them they're pretty well-formed. Almost all of them last a few seconds and either dissipate or roll back up into the sky. We were actually involved with a real tornado three years ago, It was an F1-F2 that stayed on the ground for almost thirty miles. I heard  the siren go off in the next town, we got the kids and the dogs in the basement. My wife and I kept going outside and looking around for something more threatening than the usual oncoming thunderstorm. After about 10 minutes we heard the freight train coming and headed downstairs. The house shook enough that the dust came down from the rafters. It lasted less than thirty seconds and then a whole lot of rain came down. The tornado missed us by 200 yards. The telephone pole in the corner of my back yard was okay, the one next to it was torn out of the ground and thrown across the road. The one next to that was torn out and thrown a hundred yards. No one in my rural neighborhood was hurt, but they did wind up bulldozing and rebuilding three homes. The home across the street had the front porch torn off and thrown over the roof, exposing a large hole in the roof deck that let in enough rain to collapse most of the ceilings. The path of damage was maybe a half-mile wide. Homes outside that range did not see much damage. I was surprised that the wind was toward the tornado, not away from it. The funnel was enough of a low-pressure point to draw the air towards it at a hundred-and-some miles an hour. The broken trees have repaired themselves, the homes and farms have been rebuilt, The only lasting reminder is a lot of sheets of tin barn roof still wrapped around treetops. We're in Northern Ohio. Moderate tornado damage is at least a yearly event in the area. Huge destructive disastrous storms like they get in the plains are a rarity.

Well....it's kinda early into the season to say. I think so far we had one major tropical storm and media really exagerated the severity of it and unneccesarily blew it out of proportion. \n\nIt was supposed to hit here...Tampa area..., but swung NE and rode above us. All we got was some bad rain and wind, but I know counties north of me got it alot worse....but certainly nothing extremely major...like the damage a major hurricane would cause. \n\nI'm hoping for a mild hurricane season this year...but you never know. The hurricanes seem to be getting stronger and more frequent over the years....and sometimes they sneak up on you fast without enough warning. We seem to be getting a majority of the hurricanes here on the Gulf of Mexico lately. Seems like they're not so hungry for the Atlantic coast anymore. I do know I usually ignore the warnings and the evacutions....but my luck....I'll end up really regretting that someday. \n\nBTW....my niece lives is Boloxy, Miss. She got hit hard with Katrina last year. She got 9 feet of water in her home...1 story home with crawl space. Water was to her roof. She had home owners insurance....but no flood insurance. The only thing insurance would cover was a tree that fell and crush part of her roof in. She lost everything she had and is still struggling to start over. \n\nSorry this was so long....I guess I went way beyond answering your simple question. Typical of me to not know when to shut up...lol.

You can make a tornado tube, and this website tells you exactly how to do it:\nhttp://ns.isp.nsc.ru/l24/mamont/climate/tornado.htm

You can't tell by just stepping outside, unless you see a funnel cloud or something.  Tornadoes are usually created from cold fronts or occluded fronts.  You have very warm air ahead of the front, and very cool air behind it.  The difference in the air temperature pushes air up, creating an updraft.  Bottom line, tornadoes are caused by warm and cool air in the same area.  And you have to have very strong winds in the upper atmosphere.  70 to 80 mph.  That helps with the updraft.
