Well,, as for tornadoes, we have seen a few to many SouthWest of Tulsa, matter
of fact, there was a unconfirmed report of a tornado near my HUB 1:170/500
residence and then a disturbance above my node 1:170/800 all the same
evening,,  came close in destorying 2/3rd's of ZONE 1 net 170 of Oklahoma Net
in one night!    it messed up my BBS computer alittle and re-configuration was
needed, power black out or surge I guess,,,,

May 4 - 10, 2003, 384 CONFIRMED TORNADOES touched down in United States!
and many more unconfirmed due to weather or darkness,  safe bet would place it
well over 400+.
