[BC] Tornado Alley

[richardbrianjohnson at verizon.net]

 I was surprised that the mid-western tornadoes got national coverage. I suppose it was to balange the coverage of the Philippine disaster. When I lived in Nebraska, right at the end of tornado alley, the almost-weekly tornadoes got no coverage at all -- except when KFAB transmitting towers got twisted together.
 
Last year there was a devastating tornado in Monson, Massachusetts. It took out hundreds of homes, destroyed most businesses, uprooted over 50 square miles of trees, and the area still looks like Hiroshima after Little Boy.

The national news claimed there was a Springfield tornado and showed some swirling leaves in West Springfield.
 
 Cheers,

The Washington, IL tornado came pretty close to a few station transmitter sites. They all survived, but sounds like they're still running on generators.
