TORRO Newsletter

Important, Please Note:
The newsletter was originally created to keep its members informed of recent events and to give a brief summary of reported tornadoes or other severe weather events. At no time is it intended to be regarded as the TORRO data base.

All listings and entries are subject to constant change or deletion until the facts are eventually realised. Sometimes this may take many weeks or months. The true TORRO figures are eventually printed within the Journal of Meteorology by TORRO director Mike Rowe. These figures will have a delay of approximately a year in order for stray and late reporting to be added before the journal goes to print.

Only the listing within the journal should be regarded as a true account of events, whereby every effort would have been made to recreate the true facts to the best of our ability.
