Here We Go Again

This year in the United States the country had a very early Spring, with temperature records by the hundreds broken. Now we pay the price. Yesterday alone, 120 tornadoes touched down across the center of the country with many deaths and injuries. We haven't even gotten to the tornado season yet.

Yes Bob was on 'our' news this side of the pond too last night and again earlier this morning. Apparently five people died in Oklahoma when the Tornado warning alarms failed. Those things are awesome and terrifying and I am thankful that over this side of the 'pond' we don't get such large tornadoes.

Re: Here We Go Again

Bob, I heard about your tornadoes on our news today - that must be so frightening and I can't imagine what it must be like to know one is on the way

My heart goes out to those families who have suffered deaths and injuries.

Re: Here We Go Again

The news said the sirens saved a lot of lives. Many folks scrambled to shelters or "safe rooms" with mere seconds to spare. I was born in the Midwest and have seen many tornadoes but we've obviously had a global weather change by the shear numbers of tornadoes and their severity. It used to be really rare to see a category 4 now we saw many such tornadoes and a few category 5s in a single day. They predicted this outbreak days before it happened so folks prepared well.

Re: Here We Go Again

I too read about the tornadoes Bob. I couldn't begin to imagine what it is like either I read too, of hail the size of golf balls! It must be terrifying. Let's hope this is it, that the season came early and you'll get no more.

Re: Here We Go Again

The season is months long unfortunately. They showed video of that hail hitting a lake and it looked like footage from a Hollywood disaster movie. We'll just have to wait and see what occurs.
