"Tornado Towns" Introduced by Fox Chicago Based on SATT



17 May 2004                                                                                       Huntsville, Alabama
 

"Tornado Towns" is a new weather feature developed by Fox Chicago by means of the SATT 3.0 software.  The probability of tornadoes striking within a 10-mile radius of 168 different northern Illinois cities and towns, plus two airports and three Chicago neighborhoods, have been calculated using SATT.  For the first time residents of these locations can compare their risk of a tornado with the risk in other locations in northern Illinois.
