crazy southern weather

are all of our friends in the sunbelt happy and healthy after the crazy weather?

Down here in Ft. Lauderdale it's been very pleasant. A few sprinkles, that's all.

We got some hail, and I was woken up by the tornado siren, but other than that, we are fine.

I think its been crazy everywhere....But it has nothing to do with global warming.

Absolutely gorgeous mid 70's weather, little wind, few clouds in the sky and one of those picture perfect days every poet writes about.

Friend of mine just posted on Facebook that the Lemon race at Gingerman was red flagged for snow!

We had a bad storm on Thursday night, but the worst of it was south and north of us. Nice today, but a bit cool at around 60.

the concert I was at was very nearly cut short due to the storm, they were on the verge of calling it just before the last band got on stage due to lightning/thunder and a tornado warning and torrential downpours

Pleasant as it could be in Orlando, FL.

cold rain, sleet and a little snow here.

Ugghh, 96 tomorrow. Payback time.

Uh, it's April in Michigan near the lakeshore. Yeah, you are gonna risk getting snow. (Tell your friend he shouldn't plant his tomatoes just yet either... )

We were under a tornado warning yesterday afternoon. A couple big storms tracked through, but all we got was some lightning and buckets of rain.

Early last night it all pushed off to the east, and for a while, you could see clear, starry sky above, the full moon, and off to the east a huge bank of clouds, illuminated every so often by cloud-to-cloud lightning. Quite a remarkable sight.

We are under tornado warnings several times per year. They are kind of like winter storm warnings in NH.

Though tornadoes play incredibly well on the TV news, the truth is they are extremely localized and therefore limited in their destructiveness.

Don't get me wrong, if you are one of the ones they hit, the results are catastrophic. But much larger numbers of people are affected with hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

My home town was hit by a whopper a couple of years ago. A mile wide, destroyed the entire downtown. It was a mess, but very few people were hurt.
