[[ Do you really want to know? ]]
I propose the following:
{{
__I don't think we're in (10,16) anymore, Toto__

Append the following to rule 405:
{{
D. Tornadoes

D.1. Definition
There may exist up to 2 Tornadoes on the Grid at any time. Tornadoes are 
passable MOs. Tornadoes are created or destroyed only when explicitly stated 
so in the rules. Tornadoes may enter grid spaces that are occupied by 
impassible objects. This section takes precedence over rule 301.

D.2. Creation
Each nday, when the Wind is at the state of Gale Force, 1d6 is rolled. If the 
result is less than 2, and there exist no Tornadoes at the time, a Tornado 
Touches Down at a random location on the grid. If, instead, one Tornado 
exists at the time, 1d6 is rolled. If the result is 1, a Tornado Touches Down 
at a random location on the grid.

D.3. Touching Down
When a Tornado Touches Down, it is placed on the grid. Any objects located 
there are affected as described in ###.

D.4. Destruction
Each nday, when the Wind is not at the state of Gale Force, if any Tornadoes 
exist, one is removed from the grid.

D.5. Affects
If an object is located at the same space as a tornado, the effects are as 
follows:

* a player: The player in question loses 15 points and is moved to limbo. If e 
was in an airspeeder, the airspeeder is processed separately.
* a gremlin: It goes into Hiding.
* a Big Rock: No effect
* a siren: It is removed from the grid
* an ancient monolith: No effect
* a toad: Same effect as a player
* a big stick: It is destroyed.

If an object is not listed here, it is Flung by the tornado.

D.6. Flinging
When a tornado Flings an object, the following happens:

If the object can be thrown, it is thrown to a random space within 5 squares 
of the tornado.

If the object cannot be thrown, it is moved a random space within 5 squares of 
the tornado.

The random space may be off the grid, or otherwise illegal. If that happens, 
the object is destroyed, unless the rules require it to exist. If the rules 
require it to exist, a new location is selected until it is on the grid and 
legal.
