“But we're comparing tornado reports, which are probably inflated, with confirmed tornadoes for previous years.”
Daniel McCarthy
“From what we have seen and from all the reports, this is probably one of the most devastating tornadoes that we've ever seen.”
Herbert Mitchell
“The Stoughton tornado was probably a motivator as well, because that could just as easily have been Monroe.”
Mary Austin
“We received a report from a volunteer storm spotter of a tornado in (northern Toronto). But we haven't been able to verify if there was any damage or if anyone else saw this.”
Geoff Coulson
“We've had a lot of strong evidence to indicate that it probably was a tornado as opposed to just strong wind gusts.”
“In some places it's known as a tornado. In others, a cyclone. And in still others, the Idiot's Merry-go-round. But around here they'll always be known as screw-boys.”
Jack Handy
“HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone. The hurricane is still in popular use in the West Indies and is preferred by certain old-fashioned sea-captains. It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it.”
