Spring 2014 (March-May) - Northern Hemisphere (tornado, Chicago, storms, city)

[Cambium]

I've been updating the Tornado thread but will post this here too.

Aerial picture from Mayflower, Arkansas this evening.

Very unfortunate and sad situation out there. I can't stop to think before we built homes and populated areas Tornadoes would just scrape the landscape. Now we see the impacts because we're just in the way. I wonder when this area was built up. Without technology we wouldn't get these pics to share like this within the hour or so.

There were warning this weekend would have a big tornado event.

I hope Florida doesn't have tornados like that...

Its rediculous that people would still live in that state when that happens year in year out..

A couple of days ago the models were advertising 3 inches of rain for us this week, but it now looks as if the heaviest rain will be north and east of us....

Yup. Local level different from in General. Wet and unsettled has been shown since mid April. Details will never be accurate.

Rex blocks are my very fave - I wish this baby would stick around all summer long. I love it, love it, love it.
