flightoffear1996 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 If there was a torando why in the world were the rides open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I was at Cedar Point, when that tornado was taking place. The tornado was over lake erie. It is not a tornado. It is called a water spout. It dissapates fairly quickly once it reaches land, and usually does not cause any land damage. Now for objects in the water, like boats, it could be a different story.

flightoffear1996 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I guess that is why it looks alot smaller than a tornado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 My understanding is that it's called a water spout because it's over water. When it gets to land it's called a tornado. I wasn't there but it looks big enough that I wouldn't want to have been in it's path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Just remember that this is Ohio and the weather can change from hour to hour so if you do not like it, just wait and it will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
