Wasn’t there one in Spain last summer?

In addition, there’s more trailer parks in the United States than in any other part of the world, which is why we have the most tornadoes.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, just saw this.

I am pretty sure it was an F4 (that is the scale, right?).

I actually have a copy of the Edmonton Journal from that date kicking around somewhere. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

For those curious, I found some pics of it here:

Um, has the column been edited since the tenth? It looks to me like the supposed fragment is a complete sentence, and “moist” appears to be spelled correctly.
