With respect, Mike, this entirely misses the point that was made. Okay, so you 
keep 1 or 2 of the most recent tornado warnings to watch whenever you find it 
convenient. When are you going to watch these? After your house has been 
flattened? After the insurance guy has paid out? The key word in that posting 
was *temporal*. Stuff you need to know about /now/.
