Thread Name: Tornado: this happened near my hometown today
Subject: RE: Tornado: this happened near my hometown today
Meteorological terms seem a little disingenuous to me. In the link above, it says that a funnel cloud is not a tornado because it doesn't touch the ground. Semantics, it seems to me. A tornado does not exist until there is a funnel cloud.
