““I think you’re getting confused by temperature scales. Can you see how these numbers don’t make sense:

“the temperature plummeted 8°C (47°F) in 5 minutes from 16°C (60°F) to -11°C (13°F)”

16 – 8 != -11″

I accidentally put 8°C which is equal to (47°F) instead of the number of degrees that it dropped. I fixed it, and thanks for the correction.”

Dude, your math is all retarded… You might want to check your conversions as you were closer originally. You have to remember, that you can’t say it dropped x amount of degrees as fahrenheit is not directly proportional to celsius.

The ‘74 outbreak is one of my earliest memories. I was 5 when my mom, neighbor and I delivered coffee and doughnuts to Saylor Park (suburb of Cincinnati which got hit) residents the day after. My only memory, besides the doughnuts, was the utter devastation.
