All states have had tornadoes, some just more than others

Today I drove through Pleasant Hill, Missouri, the site of one of NOAA's
weather radar units. Large radar dome on a stand, it's pretty neat to see
the radar track of a severe storm, especially when I'm within 7 miles of the
radar. I can go online on the cable modem and watch the storm real-time
from the NOAA radar. When the neighbor's boat and dock flipped upside down
into the yard I knew the wind was howling. It's only a tornado if the house
explodes and there's not much left standing. Straight-line winds are more
common.

I tried to tour the place during an open house but the line was 1/2 mile
long.
