I just wanted to point out a story that probably didn't make the news elsewhere.
A very violent storm spawned a tornado here the other day. These are almost unheard of in New Mexico, as the mountains break up the plains and there really isn't room for them to run. Nonetheless, one formed in a very rural area and was reported by a citizen. It was confirmed and the emergency alert went out within minutes, and within only a few minutes more the state police shut down a section of I-25 until the tornado passed over it. Result - a non-event where there could conceivably have been ugly casualties. The stretch of highway in question is a steep climb up a cliff face. I'm not much for gee whiz, and I wasn't there, but I do travel this piece of road every day and was really impressed by the response to a threat there would have been good reason to not plan for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:236419 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
