@friendlier The myth about tornadoes losing power or not having enough strength to cross high ridges and mountains was dispelled during the "Super Outbreak" of 1974. Several F4 and F5 tornadoes crossed over some of the higher ridges and mountains in northeast Alabama during the outbreak with no loss of strength. As a matter of fact, they've proved to be more violent after crossing over a mountain.
mountains along with new england, downtown skyscrapers, NYC and New Jersey are not always 100% safe from tornadoes.
yet how often do you see a tornado hitting the mountains like this one in alabama or downtown skyline area like Nashville, TN or a new england city like springfeild, MA? once every 10-50 years. that's not very often at all.
@fgossage Wow , there REALLY were a large amount of HUGE tornadoes in that area that one day. April 27 th. I thought this may of been the same cell I experienced. But I think I am wrong , because it appears I was further south than Cordova. I was in E. Central Ms. that day , and experienced 2 huge tornadoes moving N.E. One at Walnut Grove Ms. , and one at Rose Hill Ms. Not to mention the infamous Phialdelphia Ms, and Tuscaloosa one , that day these twisters were like an army of soldiers. Scary
@wowpapa No, it's a different tornado. The cell that spawned the Tuscaloosa/Birmingham tornado hit Ringgold, Ga and dropped ours that ran to Apison, Tn. Same cell dropped another tornado in Va at a truck stop on 81 killing a lot of drivers up there.\
