Re: Summary from FWD so far
Posted by cypresstx on 4/6/2012, 8:24 pm
not sure if they were empty - the co says this in a few articles

"A tractor weighs 20,000 pounds. An empty trailer weighs 14,000 pounds, while a full one weighs about 46,000, the company said."

the damage scale doesn't use tractor/trailers  http://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/ef-scale.html  I guess they had to wing it on that one

FWD has an updated summary - tornado count is up to 16 as of now  http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/?n=april32012sum  If you click on the links at the top of the page, it gives more detail/photos on those


btw Jim, your stormchaser video was cool, Derek's too - doing a lot of work on the website !
