So Al and Gil, let me try to understand your logic. What your telling me is that it has to happen or else you won't protect yourself from it? That's like saying you'll get gas AFTER you run out, or install smoke detectors AFTER your house burns to the ground. 

Exactly, it makes absolutely no sense, whatsoever. :crazy:

al, are u moving?

[Gil]

No Gary, thats not the same thing AT ALL. you couldn't have picked a worse analogy. There are so many more factors to back up my beliefs on the surge protection issue.

OR, you couldn't and say you did.

I turned of my computer and it was stupid. There was no storm. Stupid weatherman

They always lie. Like last night, they said we were supposed to get a foot of snow, we got about 1/4 of an inch.

Forecasters are so inaccurate... and you would expect them to get better as technology evolves.

We were under a tornado warning once and we didnt even get a thundetstorm

[Gil]

I was under a tornado warning once, and there was a weird cloud over my house.  I guess it was the tornado, but it wasnt a funnel cloud or anything.

[Localonthe8s]

it could be a storm cloud.

could two tornadoes crash into each other and form one monster tornado?

[Mike M]

I only recall being under a tornado warning once back in 2000 or so. I remember seeing the tornado warning crawl on my XL. It was early in the morning. IIRC, no tornado occured.

[Localonthe8s]

i know! December 17, 1999!

It was the only storm cloud, and it was rotating, but it wasn't a funnel. I have a pic of it.

I think a tornado can spin off 2 tornadoes and form back together, but i've never heard of 2 tornadoes from seperate storms colliding.

I believe so. I've heard of cases where two supercells merge into one large cell forming a large tornado.
