My condolences to those that were caught in that storm.

I'm not convinced yet that the entire US isn't in one tornado alley or another. In the late '60s my parents home was lightly damaged as one came across Schenectady, NY, destroying a couple houses a few doors away as well as many others in town. Then about 10 years ago, one went over our neighborhood, sparing it completely, but destroying a new development a few miles away when it touched down
