        Normally we see about 1000 tornadoes a year. During 2007, 1,300 twisters 
        ripped through the U.S. This barrage of unrelenting windstorms plagued 
        the Midwest and rampaged eastward. Then something new happened: an 
        unheard of twister barreled across Brooklyn, NY.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greatdreams.com/weather/tornados.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.greatdreams.com/img/89EA2575-DB39-4802-BF87-4CCF02F077AC" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greatdreams.com/weather/tornados.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.greatdreams.com/img/C814C855-E09D-491B-98F3-E8A3200C47DD" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greatdreams.com/weather/tornados.htm"><DIV>
        This year, in a single February night, 68 tornadoes roared through 
        Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee. At least 58 
        people died: 32 in Tennessee, 13 in Arkansas, 7 in Kentucky and 6 in 
        Alabama. This tornado outbreak was the nation's worst in more than two 
        decades when 76 people were killed in Pennsylvania and Ohio on May 31, 
        1985. May, not February. The death toll ranks among the top 15 from 
        tornado outbreaks since 1950. Again, this is tornado off-season.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greatdreams.com/weather/tornados.htm"><DIV>
