Apparently 6 people were injured, one with a serious head injury. Crazy weather!

Jeez! We get a tornado - now everybody wants one!!!!!
Apparently, we're in for a lot of very wet and windy weather and then 2 months of blizzards.......

Face it Bryster, you're a trend setter.
Now, what the heck are you doing with our summer weather? I only saw one day like that this last year. Maybe mother nature is depressed she didn't do anything this hurricane season and is being passive agressive elsewhere. ;c)
To me, it's just more evidence that man-made global warming is a statistical non-starter, and weathermen STILL can't predict the weather. One of two jobs in the world where you can be wrong most of the time and not get fired. The other being baseball, where you can miss the ball most of the time and still play.

Starting to remind me of a lighthouse story I once read about one of the first ones ever built on this rock. Then rolled in the "Storm of the Century". Flocks 30 miles inland refused to graze because of saltspray on all the vegetation. When the storm subsided, the lighthouse was gone, only twisted girders of it's base were left. Feels like you blokes are going to see some rough weather for a while then. Did someone shift the globe a few thousand miles, weatherwise this year or what? ;c)

Victoria in Australia had snow a few weeks ago (nearly summer) and now they have the worst forest fires in 100 years a few weeks later!! The weather everywhere is like a mad woman's breakfast - or a mad man's breakfast for that matter...And just think, in the time of Dickens, the Thames and canals in London could freeze over hard enough to skate on. That's what? barely 150 years distant. Heck, locally, in the mid 80's home owners on Lake Michigan were worried at how fast the water was eroding their shore because it was so full. Now, it's so low it's down 11 feet from it's traditional "normal" state. This has big shippers ticked, because every foot lost is millions of dollars in cargo they can't ship because the draft of the ships gets too shallow.

Two weeks ago, along the front range of the rockies, we had wind gusts clocked at 120 miles per hour! Fortunately, no injuries, only a few out buildings and signs blown down. And last winter we had a 5.6 earthquake roll through. Again, no damage, but it was pretty freaky seeing and hearing the house gently rock sideways. Shiver me timbers!!
Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things! ; )

Not gonna get involved in the Global Warming bit, but..
The period from approx. 1300-1800s was called a 'mini ice-age', where the average temp was lower than usual. Don't have the details (one of those Science/Discovery/History Channel shows), but that could be the Dickens skating bit..;)

Nothing unusual here, I'm pleased to report.
Tornadoes graces our summer. We're just now dipping consistently into 30s every night. We get windy every day, but winds of 40 to 50 mph with gust up to 60 are not at all unusual, so, nope. Nothing. Same old same old.
BTW, the tornado damage photo is kewl. That was a humdinger, looks like.
:)
Tornados are caused when Cold air passes over hot and the hot air tries to rise above the cold air creating a natural vortex and from what I have been hearing in the UK there is a lot of Hot Air coming out of the Parliment recently. We have had the same problem in the States here with the Politicians for over 200 years. Politics; 2 words, Poly meaning many and tics/ticks meaning blood suckers!!!
I would rather
be Politically Incorrect,
Then have Politically
Correct-Incorrectness!!!
From the pic, it couldn't have been that strong a twister (at least by U.S. standards. You probably wouldn't hear about it unless it involved old trees, cheap roofing, or trailers. We're funny that way.). There's no sign of structural bracing or rebar in those brick walls. In some parts of the states, that kind of construction might not even hold up to just regular wind (40+ MPH aren't that uncommon at times, with the occasional storm gusts or howling winter squalls at 70MPH.)
If this kind of thing keeps happening on that side of the Atlantic, you'll have to up the building standards to accomodate conditions brought on by global warming.
If anyone's experiencing some really bad weather, they're probably on the other side of the planet over in the Phillipines. I think they're on their second hurricane (or cyclone) of the month. Now that's some nasty stuff.

I wasn't as close to it as Bryster was with his one, but we experienced the side effects, sudden darkness, thunder and lighting, horizontal rain and hail and winds which whipped up everything not tied down in their path and seemd to roar .Quite frightening even here, quite a bit of damage where it actually hit.
The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
