Summary: If one were to count tornadoes as the Gross National Product, no other country on the surface of the earth could come even clone to the United States. During the recent 70-year period, the United States produced 31,054 tornadoes which left behind a cumulative path of 132,005 miles (212,396 km) which would circle the world 5.3 times along the equator. In completing the book, staff members of the Satellite and Mesometeorology Research Project (1961 to the present) played an important role in collecting, evaluating, and archiving the historical tornado data.
