Although there has been considerable pressure upon this office with a view to prediction of tornadoes, yet the Chief Signal Officer feels that neither the present condition of the science of meteorology nor the practical needs of the country would justify such forecasts. So almost infinitesimal is the area covered by a line of tornado in comparison with the area of the state in which it occurs, that even could the Indications Officer say with absolute certainty that a tornado would occur in any particular state or even county, it is believed that the harm done by such a prediction would eventually be greater than that which results from the tornado itself (U.S. Army Signal Corps, 1887).
