That's cool.

And I'm coming to you for ALL my research from now on.

What's the top speed of a cheetah? Go!

I recalled 70mph/quarter-mile and checked w/Wikipedia:

The cheetah, however, achieves by far the fastest land speed of any living animal — between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph)[3][4] in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.[5]

That is spectacularly fast. And anaerobic.

B$. The Midwest of the United States is the part of the world that most tornadoes occur in. There is no other place in the world where continental polar and maritime tropical air can slam into each other to produce the violent storms that produce tornadoes. NONE. That map shows the Midwest and California in the same color. Tornados are exceptionally rare in California.

That is a horrible map. I Can't believe that NOAA is the source of that map. Unbelievable.

That map show South Korea as a likely place for tornadoes. B$. I spent three years in South Korea, and I never , not even once heard of a tornado occurring there.

Shame on NOAA.
