<%Randall> it seems to me that if you knew with that much accuracy
where the convection was likely to be, you could just mark it with
chalk and make sure not to build a house there.
<%Randall> The odds of any one point in the midwest having a tornado
pass close to it in a given year are less than 1 in 5,000.
<%Randall> which is the reason they don't just build houses sturdier,
and the reason storm cellars have gotten less fashionable in the past
handful of decades.
