I wonder what the odds are of anywhere getting struck by a tornado twice are, let alone what are the odds that an area can be struck every other year over the last five years, and four times at least since 1999?
TWC interviewed someone from Moore who said they hold the record as far as tornadoes are concerned. They're probably right, but what a record to hold!
The odds of being struck as often and with such high intensity storms as Moore has seen seems to be pretty historic if The Weather Channel is accurate.
Areas can be struck twice though. In the early 1960s, my husband had an aunt and uncle who lived on a farm that was hit by two tornadoes in about a month's time. Our tornadoes are GENERALLY not the 4's and 5's that OK has and those wouldn't have been anywhere near it. I don't remember if tornadoes were categorized back then, definitely not with the EF scale, but they were tornadoes, nonetheless.
We were glued to TWC to see how things turned out down there. Some of their info was wrong, like the tornado being in Sand Springs being east of Tulsa, said their was a fatality, but didn't say if it was in Moore or Sand Springs, etc. Still amazing considering the pictures they showed and the interviews they did considering the type of weather they were dealing with.
