Regarding the wind, yes, or course it blows here. But that's also the theory some people use for why they can't touch down ... thermal updrafts. As for the threat level, I don't know how great the threat is, but they have touched down in every direction on top over the years.
People seem to be attacking my post as though I've stated tornadoes cannot hit deep river valleys. That's not the case. I can come up with reasons both for and against that hypothesis. Logic of course says they can. What I'm looking for is whether someone has some hard science either for or against such an occurance, not just opinions. All my neighbours have plenty of opinions ... what I'm interested in is some actual science to rebut them with.
