To Whom may concern,
I ordered this dataset for a couple of students of mine on March 4.
We have not received it, as yet, and they require it for a semester
project. Can you tell me the status of my request, and when I might
expect it?
Thank you.

Project: COMET_CASE_028 COMET Case Study 028:Fort Worth Tornado
Description: On the evening of 28 March 2000, two tornados struck Fort
Worth, Arlington, and Grand Prairie, Texas. The Fort Worth
Tornado touched down west of the city, and moved through
the downtown area. The tornado was rated an F2 on the Fujita
scale at its strongest point. The Arlington tornado started
as an F3, and varied from F2 to F0 throughout its 6.5 mile
track. The damages from these tornados was estimated at $450
million in the Fort Worth area. 5 F2's, and 8 F0-F1's. Whil
e southern Louisiana's annual average for tornados is 13
(1950-1995), it hosted 12 tornados on 1-2 January. All of th
e tornados were indicated by WSR-88D radars in Lake Charles
and Fort Polk, Louisiana. The average lead time was an impre
ssive 24 minutes. There was one fatality in Texas, but, give
n the severity of the outbreak and the fact that it happened
overnight, it is fortunate that there were not more people
injured or killed
Objectives: This case provides an example of a Texas severe weather
event, and allows an in-depth study of the severe weather
mechanisms in the Southern plains and Texas.
