Hey @tomgrzybow@societas.online , the Friendica website keeps eating my replies to your question about why a tornado won't go over a river, and I tried 16 damn times--even tried a PM. No go. This is what I've been trying all evening, for hours, to send you:

A tornado doesn't happen without the stuff required to make one with, and what's absent over a river as large as the Mississippi River is a prolonged updraft. It's also why you won't see a water spout there either.
