As you can see from the map above, which shows cities in black, nearly every major metropolitan area in the heart (and east coast) of the country is under a severe thunderstorm threat today. I tabulated the major metropolitan centers only, and came up with a number of 70 million city folks who are in the Slight Risk area, with 11.5 million in the Moderate or High Risk areas (where tornadoes are most likely to occur).

"Terracane" Over Midwest

It does look like a hurricane over land. We had trees down and creeks flooded, so this was a severe storm. Twelve hours of near non-stop rain pouring. The winds stopped for a while but are predicted to be back until Sunday afternoon. And a tornado watch until 9 p.m. tonight (southwest VA). This after three tornadoes in the last storm, one 20 miles from where I live. In an area not known for tornadoes.
