[DeTomaso] Tornado

[Stephen Nelson]

Funny thing about statistics - the statement that "You look at a house as it
gets demolished by a twister and you say: The chances of another twister
hitting this house is astronomical. We'll be safe here" is not very
realistic.  Actually, once a twister hits, the chance of a second one
hitting is exactly the same for everywhere else nearby.  Pity that.  But,
the chance of two future twisters hitting the same place is astronomical.

Bottom line, we moved to Washington three years ago.  Our old house was
missed by 1/4 mile.  Gads are we glad we moved.

Rob,

Maybe Moore should be named Less.  I has been  hit consistently for the 
last 20 years.  The same area was hit in 1999 but it was a level 5 storm 
instead of this level 4 storm.  There have been one or two other major 
storms in Moore and a few minor ones in the last twenty years.  A minor 
storm is pretty major if you are in it.
