James,

This was my first listen to Weather Brains. I listened along with my boys.

We really enjoyed it and I think we all learned a lot!

I highly recommend it to any reader of this blog!

Thanks, guys! What a great service!

Does anybody have any #'s on the tornado outbreak that affected Springfield. I've looked around a little bit and found 1 F4 and 2 F3's Surprisingly, the tornadoes that affected Springfield, Illinois Were rated F2 (I think). Having a high risk in the area then reading and hearing some of the damage reports I feared that one may have been F4- F5. Thank goodness they weren;t

Thanks John B. I don't know if all the surveys are done yet I guess they'l compile a report on the event as a whole if it hasn't allready been done? I wanted to know how many occured and what their F ratings were.
