GEN: Tornados

[Kathy Geronzin <geronzin@hobbes.clinton.net>]

I just read the HIT on tornado drills.  One of the responses said that
the tornado was over quickly.  Because I live in tornado country I would
like to say if the conditions are right many tornados may form at the
same time. At my school a couple years ago tornados were sighted just as
the students were boarding the buses. We had 700 students lining the
halls in our middle school high school building because the elementary
students were brought into the building off the buses. They had boarded
the buses earlier at our other buildings. We had to keep them in the
halls for two and a half hours because there were so many tornados in
the air around our school.  Lucky, none of them touched down near the
school, but several touched down within several miles of the school.
