U.S. National Weather Service predicts huge tornado outbreak
Yee-haw!
http://news.yahoo.com/forecasters-already-predicting-massive-tornado-outbreak-weekend-151627265.htmlSpring 2014 has been a quiet tornado season thus far, but that's about to change this weekend, if the predicted forecasts that meteorologists are looking at hold true. Weather experts say conditions are lining up for a series of powerful tornadoes to hit an area ranging between Tennessee and Texas from Saturday through Monday. The National Weather Service predicts a "significant multi-day severe event" in the South plains on Sunday, moving into the Mississippi Valley on Monday.
The extreme warnings stem from an interaction between an East-moving low-pressure system over the Rockies mixing with wetness from the Gulf of Mexico. That will cause the creation of supercell thunderstorms, Slate's Eric Holthaus explains, all kept in place in the South-Southwest by a high-pressure system in Canada. That makes the area ripe for a "big severe threat" this weekend, according to The Weather Channel, an extra level on top of today's "severe threat."
Holthaus notes that the best historical comparisons to a weather pattern like this point to some of the worst tornado outbreaks in U.S. history. That includes the April 26, 1991, stretch of tornadoes from Texas to Iowa that caused a billion dollars in damage and included a rare F5-strength tornado.

Well, I couldn't find the latest data, but from 1950 to 1994, Texas was number one in tornado sightings, deaths by tornado, injuries by tornado and property damage by tornado!
Of course, we're talking about a huge amount of land, too:

Yep, ya got it.
And it is huge. Panhandle to Brownsville, it's taller than all of Britain.

Yes, the entire western US has a unique topography, from a vast plain, to an abrupt rise of the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. I'm no expert, but I'm told that it is a perfect breeding ground for tornados.

It's not the size that matters, Shady,
It's what you do with it.
