After cloning, both the legitimate and the fraudulent cell phones have the same ESN/MIN combination and cellular systems cannot distinguish the cloned cell phone from the legitimate one.

Backing of the surface wind can increase the potential for tornado development by increasing the directional shear at low levels.
