Pensacola Tornados
The Pensacola Tornados were actually two separate Continental Basketball Association franchises that operated in the Florida panhandle in the late 1980’s and early 90’s. The first Tornados team arrived abruptly in December 1985, when Ted Stepien, owner of the CBA’s Toronto Tornados, yanked his team out of Ontario and moved it south one month in the 1985-86 season.
