Is it time for a tornado warning system in Italy?

The internet has become an important source of information for anyone who wants to investigate tornadoes and severe storms. As tornadoes typically cover a limited geographical area, they are generally not detected from synoptic-, and even regional-scale, meteorological station networks. Thus, historical events have been generally identified based on newspapers articles and chronicles. The possibility offered by the internet to post and share information has made images and videos of tornadoes and waterspouts the preferred way to document the occurrence of these events.
