Washington, in No
Danger of Storm,
Forecnster SAYS
MeteoroIogicaICon Conditions
Here Not CO.dllciUe
to TOrnadOes.

Washington need have no fear OF a
the Middle West last night, it was an
nounced today at the Weather Bureau
by Forecaster Weightman.
The worst that is likely to happen
here today is a shower, he believes,
followed tonight and tomorrow by
fair and colder weather. The tempera-
ture Is expected to drop to the freeZ-
ing point tonight.
Washington has been visited by the
dread tornadoes on only a few occa-
sions, Mr.. Weightman said. He re-
called the Silver Spring tornado about
two years ago. when much property
damage resulted in the vicinity of
Georgia avenue extended-beyond the
District line-and the Alexandria
tornado some 10 or 20 years ago,
when several houses were blown
down.
Meteorological conditions in the vi
cinity of Washington are such that
tornadoes do not get a chance to start
here, Mr.. Weightman explained. The
Ohio valley section. however, lends
itself readily to tornado visitations.
Last nights catastrophe resulted
not from one central disturbance. but
| caster stated. The funnel-shaped
clouds, comprising a whirling vortex
of wind reaching velocities as high
as 200 miles an hour. are presumed
to have followed their usual course
of cutting swaths about 100 or $50
yards wide for distances OF about 25
miles. The vortex, he said, would
sweep down to earth. devastate a
narrow section of land and then lift
heaynnWQrd again
The center of the funnel, he pointed
out becomes more or less of vacuum
and when the cone comes in contact
with houses or similar objects the
pressure below has the effect of
Blowing the obstruction upward
into the low-pressure center, where
the high winds twist and wreck 1t
into bits.
The Weather Bureau never under
takes to forecast tornadoes. as such
Mr.. Weightman said. The storms are
usually purely local disturbances that
cannot be definitely foreseen far in
advance. Thunderstorm warnings had
been broadcast throughout the affect
ed area yesterday, however, he de-
clared.
