said Bush's administration had simply left many budget areas blank and left it to Congress to suggest where cuts ought to be made "It's a little like you going to your state legislatures with your

YORK Tornado Tolls Were Below Average in '88 WASHINGTON (AP) — Tornad does claimed only about their average annual death toll in the United States last year despite setting a record for the number of twisters in November the National Weather Service reported Sunday There were 32 tornado deaths recorded in 1988 the Weather Service said down from the 59 killed a year earlier and well below the long-teraverage of 99 fatalities annually But while that's good news it isn't an indication that the danger from twisters has lessened "There is no way of knowing what this tornado season will bring but the way to survive is through preparedness" points out Ed Ferguson deputy director of the National Severe Storms Forecast Center in Kansas City Meteorologists have attributed the decline in tornado deaths in recent years to increased public awareness of the danger of the storms which are most common in May and June but can occur in any month of the year Indeed unusually warm and wet weather last November helped trigger a record number of tornadoes for that month at 121 across the country The average for November is only 23 tornadoes and the previous record had been 81 set in 1973 Last year also recorded the largest tornado outbreak in 14 years That took place on Mother's Day when 57 twisters tore through parts of Arkansas Illinois Iowa and Wisconsin That outbreak didn't cause
