Congrats to both teams. Marion, you made it to the Semifinals... No one thought that a few months ago but you proved you had what it took. Congrats Alcoa. I wish you guys nothing but the best of luck at the Boro. I really hope to see you guys again next year.
WOW. 10-7 at the Half. I think some EF5 wishcasters are busting a forecast. (A little meteorology humor) GO WARRIORS!!! Show the Tornadoes why the 2nd half is your favorite.
It's impossible for an EF 5 to develop when the temps are in the 40's. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />
LOL. I know.... I'm just doing what I do best... /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" /> (Meteorology and the fine art of getting under people's skin)
And to answer the question about the PIC I posted... It was the May 99 (At the time) F5 tornado that hit the southwest suburbs of Oklahoma City.

LOL. You guys are old school. Weather bureau went out LONG LONG ago! (It's the NWS now)
As far as Tornadoes in Blount CO... There have only been 6 since 1950. Largest of which was (then) an F3 in FEB of 1993. And none have been in Alcoa.
If that is your definition of an EF 5, we have nothing to worry about. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />
