	Flint-Worcester Tornadoes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Founded in 2004, the Worcester Tornadoes are the independent Can-Am League (Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball) expansion team that plays their home games at Fitton Field at the College of the Holy Cross, in Worcester, Massachusetts.
		The Worcester tornado was a milestone in many regards, not only because of its enormous size and unusual geographic location, but also due to the fact it was the nation's costliest tornado in raw dollars at the time, and its 1300 injuries still stands as the 4th worst in U.S. history.
		Even though the 1953 tornado season only saw 422 tornadoes (which is half the nationwide average), the year saw some of the deadliest tornadoes, which included the Waco Tornado that hit on May 11.

		In the figure, the tornado at Flint, Michigan on 8 June 1953 has been chosen somewhat arbitrarily as the separator between the two regression lines, since it is the last single tornado to cause 100 or more fatalities in the United States.
		We have estimated that if the trend in period leading up to and including the Flint event had remained unchanged, then more than 13 000 additional fatalities might have occurred with the events shown in the figure.

	History of The Old Farmer's Almanac
		Skeptics can laugh, but there have been several miraculous predictions, including the July snow of 1816, which was forecast in a few errant copies; the 1953 Worcester Tornado, foreseen with the phrase, "Heavy squall and that's not all";and the near-perfect prediction of Hurricane Andrew which hit southern Florida in 1992.
		In 1861 Charles L. Flint became editor and provided his readers with a heavy emphasis on farming.
		Since the beginning of this century, the National Weather Service has maintained accurate records of the nation's weather, and the Almanac's accuracy can be checked -- tradition has held it consistently at 80 percent.
