Tornado
I was at Cedar Point on the day of the 1977 tornado. I was very young, but I can remember walking through the park and getting to the entrance of Camper Village (where my family was camped next to another family that we were friends with.) We were not allowed into Camper Village because of down power lines. We were all given a free room in hotel breakers for the night. Later, we found out that our friend's camper had been flipped over while our trailer remained untouched.
It is hard to believe that I can still remember this since I was only four years old at the time. But, I remember that this was the year that Witches Wheel was put into the park. I remember thinking (with my four year old reasoning) that Witches Wheel must have caused the tornado since I thought that the ride looked like a giant fan.

Interesting article, so we can predict waterspouts now. I wonder if they are using that system at the NWS office in Cleveland.
Does anyone know if there was a warning posted for that waterspout? For some reason I would think that a tornadic spout ,which sounds to me as it having close to the same properties as a tornado , However weak it is would show on radar with a hook echo (which I think would only be seen in the presence of rain) or opposite wind directions on Doppler.
Last I wonder if the 77 Tornado was just a water/land spout, It was recorded as being weak, and Late June/Early July seems to be the time when waterspouts are common in that area.
Speaking of all this, Watch out CP, one might be heading your way! ;) *** This post was edited by Joe E. on 4/7/2001. ***

There was a tornado warning issued for Erie County for the 98 CP waterspout.

I recall that day last year that TrainGirlKelly00 was talking about. I was working the Dodgems near Magnum and saw the CP&LE Rail Train going backwards. I didn't know what to think. But I did find out later that a bunch of branches, or a tree I can't recall which, had fallen over the tracks. It was really weird.
