I think so, they're normally associated with anvil clouds.

I spent a week in the area during October about 4 or 5 years ago. There was a thunderstorm on most days, hail covering the ground like snow on two days. A lightning strike on the road outside the general store., and a small tornado that demolished a few buildings on the last day -probably about 5 tears worth of action for here.

I'm working there again this spring, so am hoping for similar.

Sweet, I wish we got that here more often. We get our share of storms, but they're rarely very severe.

On November 4, 2015 I rode in a 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The person who drove it was born... when Ernesto Zedillo was president of Mexico.

As were my dates to both sorority dances I went to this year, as well as 5 out of 9 of the drivers of the Accords I rode in in March 2016.

First Read: Trump's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week - NBC News

Also on Tuesday, he backed away from his pledge to support the whomever becomes the GOP nominee

Fantastic editing... besides the typo ("the"), it should be whoever in this context, not whomever.

what's wrong with "the"? Didn't expect you're a stickler for grammar.

Trump's New York base is heavily Italian-American which isn't strange to me once I think about it. Probably more likely to find Trump supporters who like the Italian flag than the Confederate flag in NY.

The problem with it is its presence is a typographical error. It's self-evident. The problem with whom in lieu of who is less obvious. I know why this pronoun appears to untrained eyes to be an object pronoun (a la "He supports [object]"), but it's actually the subject of a separate clause (case in point, "Who (not whom) becomes the GOP nominee"; "He (not him) becomes the GOP nominee").
