We've had several the past month and a half, which is unusual for Central California this time of year (or so I'm told... I'm new here.) The national weather service said a few were severe but I've seen much worse in Virginia and Iowa. We did have a couple with marble sized hail though. Enough hail fell to coat the ground almost an inch deep. A lot of the locals thought it was snow because of how soft it was when they went back outside to see it closer.

Yeah, I've also seen all these natural disasters. Even in my country, last year there were about 10 or more floods, and this year one or more. Cause? Global polution, tree cutting.\nSomebody save the earth! plz!

i believe if you take two two liter pepsi bottles and fill one with water and tape the openings together so it looks like a giant egg timer when you turn one bottle upside down and swirl it a little it will cause a tornado effect.

You can thank the upper-air weather pattern for all the rain. I'm a storm chaser from Texas and these blocked patterns (upper ridge over the Rockies and upper trough over the Atlantic states) spell disaster for us looking for tornadoes across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We constantly stay dry, and you guys constantly stay wet. Until the pattern changes to a more traditional West to East flow and can kick these blocked troughs / ridges out of here, we're in for more of the same.

I don't know.. it's weird though.  I lived in the midwest for years and we always had tornado warnings starting in the evening.  The Wautoma, Wisconsin tornado was in the evening.  Maybe it has something to do with the cooling air on land.

The U.S. is definitely the tornado capital of the world.\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/weather/tg/wtorwhat/wtorwhat.htm

If you get cable or satellite TV, you can see all you want, mostly on The Weather Channel.\n\nCheck TORNADOES entry in blog at http://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana for urls to places with lots of tornado info.  Such videos are highly sought after and dangerous to acquire, not likely to be free.  But there are many now in existence.\n\nThey have GOT to be FOR SALE somewhere, but you cannot see how good one is until you view it.\n\nDid you Google 'Tornado Videos for Sale' ???\n\nAlso try 'Kansas Tornado Videos'\n         'Oklahoma Tornado Videos'\n          'Texas Tornado Videos'\n\nThe meteorology professors must use them in class, too.\n\nTherefore, try 'Instructional Tornado Videos'

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 think the weather is off because, I don't think that the news is the greatest thing for the weather. One time they said it was going to rain, I was excited, but dissappointed. I wonder when did they decide to be the foretellers of the world. Maybe everysince they've started showing the news; now their inaccuracies are on the internet. Too bad for the people. But I say good job on the forecast on the Katrina and the hurricanes that they've warned people about in advanced, you have to give them that.

Probably just the weather changing quickly ? We had a thunderstorm a few weeks ago, except it was snowing with it. Really warm before it and really cold afterwards... I'm sure it's nothing to alarm yourself over.

They tend to be isolated, unless the storm is very large (then they get attention).  Tornados and hail are more dramatic.  So, they make more exciting/ sensational news items.

I grew up in an area where we had a lot of tornadoes. I have seen this and it does happen, however, it doesn't always happen, and sometimes a thunderstorm will have greenish clouds and no tornado. I think it is related to the way the light is filtered through the clouds, and perhaps the really big clouds that come with tornadoes may have more of this effect. There is a good article at the link below:

Yes,as answer 1 says,a tornado can occur anywhere.They develope in the clouds and have nothing to do with geographical pull,ect..
