Default Weatherlawyer's feelings for tornadoes.

Nothing over 5.5 since these:

2014/04/20 5.7 M at 04:17:34 Bougainville - Solomon Is -6.86 154.57

2014/04/20 5.4 Mb at 01:54:13 EASTER ISLAND REGION -26.40 -114.99

2014/04/20 6.1 M at 00:15:58 Bougainville - Solomon Is -7.17 155.31

And that was only a 5.5 then:
2014/04/21 5.5 M at 20:45:22 Philippine Islands region 17.44 119.89

This situation broke:

6.6 M. Vancouver Island, Canada and:

6.6 Mw(mB) Eastern Greenland.

Such a time lapse generally indicates tropical storms. But maybe they are storms of a different persuasion?

Once geophysics comes to terms with the fact storm tracks depend on their gyroscopic behaviour and has nothing to do with Coriolis (as Newton stated before that damn fool was even a twinkle) we will be getting track definitions every few minutes, rather than every 3 or so hours and they will have considerably closer margins too, as well!
