I just read the link and it said the Tornado Warning has been lifted, so hopefully Miami is in the clear

oookay um i was up all night like tuesday because i had 5 possible tornado's bearing down on my house...

They're all coming from Miami to Tampa I bet :(

Yeah, St. Pete has been getting some stuff lately. Yesterday it was just rain.

Can someone explain what happens if a tornado hits a big city? I've always wondered if it would keep on going or if the buildings would interfere.

It's not that tornados are deterred by large cities, if we look at the overall area of large well known cities vs everything that's [b]not[/b]. It's unlikely to hit a major urban center like Milwaukee or Chicago. Consequently we see far fewer incidents of tornados in dense urban areas

[QUOTE=BananaFoam;44818588]Can someone explain what happens if a tornado hits a big city? I've always wondered if it would keep on going or if the buildings would interfere.[/QUOTE] There have been instances where tornadoes have hit cities before. It honestly would depend on its EF rating.

Floridians are like "hurricanes? Sounds like a party!" But tornados? "oh fuck we don't have basements I'm fucking scared"

"oh fuck we don't have basements I'm fucking scared"[/QUOTE] Tornadoes are a fuck load worse than Hurricanes, one is just a massive storm,strong winds, and otherwise just annoying. Tornadoes literally are massive funnels of air that fuck everything in their path for no reason other than fuck anything up.

[QUOTE=LNKFAN;44819309]Pretty much One is much more concentrated, so its either like oh look, that tree finally fucking got blown over vs. HOLY SHIT THAT TREE IS FLYING[/QUOTE] What's really shit inducing when you hear "MULTIPLE FUNNELS" from the weather man on TV being within a 5 mile radius of where you live.

Tornados' focused winds can cut through a neighborhood and are much less predictable.

[QUOTE=BananaFoam;44818588]Can someone explain what happens if a tornado hits a big city? I've always wondered if it would keep on going or if the buildings would interfere.[/QUOTE] iirc Joplin had some pretty large structures get demolished. It would be disastrous.

It's been raining here all day, but then again, it normally does. I heard about people losing power however.

[QUOTE=Sableye;44818043]oookay um i was up all night like tuesday because i had 5 possible tornado's bearing down on my house...[/QUOTE] You're from Ohio, right? Had the same shit here. Not watches, either, but several warnings.

A bit up North just south of Alligator Alley, but the weather is great. Was a little rainy yesterday, but today it is bright and sunny with a very fast breeze. Was a pain though, having my University in Miami spam me with tornadoe warning texts and emails.

I can't even find my parent's house under all that.
