Ive heard a few growing up in Kansas and am kinda curious if they are based off of some outdated research or if someone got bored and drunk one night after a tornado watch fizzled out. So, here goes. Tornadoes are essentially a giant vacuum tube and you can tune into one on channel 13 of a b&w tv (pre-cable days...this was in a 1973 copy of popular mechanics i think) Mobile homes vibrate at a certain frequency and attract Tornadoes. Run at right angles to a tornado (i dont really think this would help much as hail is usually big with strong winds behind it and really nasty cloud to ground lightning and an open field...c'mon really?)

anyone want to take a crack at these?
