Default Express - front page weather stories...

I was browsing some weather forums on the evening before the day the
tornado happened.

There was some talk about the possibility of tornados.

I know Torro put out warnings and so forth, however the mainstream
channels certainly don't pick up on it. They possibly don't see a need
because it remains rare that a tornado strikes a metropolitan area.

Unfortunatly that means people will always be taken by surprise when
they do occur

They form VERY quickly... this one only hung out for less than 60
seconds... yet look what it did

I notice there is no talk about the depth of this weekend's low
pressure

On the latest advisory, 932 millibars by noon Sunday, 230 miles
south-west of Iceland.

Not a record beater..... but man, that is deep
