According to cnn.com, 2008 could set the record of greatest number of tornado deaths. By May 30th, 2008, the death tolls from tornadoes had already reached 110, while in previous years the average had been about 62. Since the Weather Service began organized record-keeping in 1950, the deadliest year was 1953, with 519 deaths.
The most lethal single tornado of all was even earlier, in the era when record-keeping was spotty: the Tri-State Tornado of 1925, which killed 695 people as it roared more than 200 miles across Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.

Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
Having lived in New York for over 15 years I’m astonished at the lack of snowfall this winter, when in contrast China and Jerusalem are currently getting pounded by horrible winter weather.
So what’s the cause of all this hoopla, leaving tens of thousands of Chinese stranded? Could it be the Greenhouse Effect? And if so, what exactly is the Greenhouse Effect? Well I’m glad you asked!
The Greenhouse Effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gasses in the atmosphere (say for example carbon dioxide and methane) trap …read more
