WEATHER QUESTION FOR 6-11-2008

QUESTION:

ON AVERAGE, HOW MANY TORNADOES OCCUR PER YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES?

CHOICES:

A. 500

B. 1,000

C. 1,500

D. 2,000

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS

B. 1,000

IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET AN ACCURATE COUNT OF THE NUMBER OF TORNADOES. MANY OCCUR IN OPEN COUNTRY AND NO ONE SEE THEM. OTHERS ARE SHROUDED IN HEAVY RAIN AND HARD TO SEE. ON THE OTHER HAND, SOME TORNADOES TRAVEL FROM ONE TOWN TO NEXT AND ARE REPORTED MANY TIMES BY PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE DIFFERENT STORMS. SO THE COUNT IS VERY UNCERTAIN.

Poll

How much weight do you give debates when deciding for whom to vote for president?

  • A lot. I haven't made up my mind and how the candidates perform plays a huge role in my decision.
  • A little. I'm leaning in one direction, but could change my mind.
  • None. I've already made up my mind and nothing the other candidate says could sway me.
