Keynote Speech
* Fantastic lunch catered by Little Dooey's barbeque here in Starkville...And, Renny was good on his promise to eat a sandwich or two.* We're listening now to Dr. Harold Brooks, the keynote speaker of this year's Symposium. He is discussing the global distribution of severe weather, including an interesting story about how German storm research really got off the ground. A German was injured along the front lines during World War I, and his injuries prohibited him from serving in battle. So, he began researching weather records.
...Highest number of tornado days per year (1980-1999) is in the Plains...
...F2+ tornado days per century has a maximum in Oklahoma, with a tongue of higher values extending into the Deep South...
...Lots of interesting distributions of severe weather from around the country...
* Will post again later this afternoon.
