I know; right..?

Weird $#!T is afoot...

Powerful storms stretching from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes wrecked several Indiana towns and killed at least 14 people Friday as the system tore roofs off schools and homes, flattened a fire station, flipped over tractor-trailer trucks and damaged a maximum security prison. It was the second deadly tornado outbreak this week.

Interesting that we had NO winter here in the south (or much of anywhere, I guess). It's usually the gulf warmth/moisture pushing-up from the south that defends us. But this year, it was more of the jet stream not pushing down so much from the north. Uhm, has the earth tilted differently? Have polar patterns shifted? Was there some 'el nino effect' thrusting thru that kept everything apart? I don't think anyone knows.

But what's always unique to this area in the spring, is that we get a clash of gulf warmth/moisture pushing-up harder, as we change seasons, with a few cold direct fronts pushing-down from the north & west. As they clash, usually in a line from Dallas to Memphis, we catch all kinds of #ell...seemingly at any given time.

But like I said, this year there hasn't been much cold weather pushing down this far. And so, the storms have a new pattern north of Arkansas. And what's further interesting, is that a lot of the gulf presence is also influenced from the southeast. So now the Texas to Tennessee line has become an Oklahoma/Missouri thru Virginia line.

Anyha, this is probably just cyclical (in whatever pattern). But I do wonder if there's ever been any truth to 'global warming'. And I don't mean that everything will get hotter. I just mean, that that in general contributes to everything being all jacked sideways year-to-year. It could snow 10 ft everywhere next year, or it could be warm again. Does any one really know? 12/21/2012 maybe?

Here you go.

And btw, why you see the current line from Houston to Charlotte is that the cold northerly push was initially superseded by the typical gulf thrust up thru Louisiana. After it bounced off that, it doubled-up on the southeastern states and pushed down. Uhm, point is, this is all so unpredictable...only to be explained ex-post-facto.

Again, something cosmically just might be outta whack. Or, this is all normal s#it and we've become overly-analytical and, most likely, paranoid.

I hate to say it, but the Bible says that in the last days the seasons will all muddle together. With no true summer, winter etc. I truly believe that is what we are seeing. We have had a few low 30s days here and there, but that's been at NIGHT! And when I say few, they have been very few. Granted I live on the coast of NC so it always traditionally much warmer. But winter so far has consisted of upper 60s-upper 70s days. Heck we've been in the 70s at night for that matter. It is just NOT NORMAL.

We were up at the hospital a lot yesterday....figures on my day off, I would be at work. Had a few warnings and it is the safest place to be. Two touched down with a couple of miles of my house, that was the closest. No one was killed in the Cleveland TN area.

Same here...feels like winter on the coast...

Don't forget that while we're having a very warm winter, Europe is having and extremely cold one. No global warming, all the cold air just got pushed over to the other side of the globe.

Yeah, here I sit in tornado country... What part of AR are ya from? You can pm me if you don't want to announce it. I was wondering. The good thing is the city I live in it pretty much skips over us and plows into all the cities surrounding us. I hope we keep being lucky this spring. Keep safe Arkansas. I don't know about global warming...but I do know to head for cover if one of those things come near.

Our neighbors up a town or two away got mowed down a few years ago...twice in one year! We have had our share of helping with wreckage. May everyone stay safe this year.

I live 20 miles south from the EF 4 that destroyed Henryville, Indiana and 10 miles north of a smaller Ef-1. That day was terrifying but somehow right as that supercell storm approached us it split right in half and when north/south leaving most of Louisville with barely any rain. We had pea sized hail for a few minutes and it was over while people just 20 miles north we losing their lives. Thank god I have a basement but when I EF-4 strikes that may not help. Terrible, terrible day... I think I have some Post Traumatic Stress left over from it. Really. It messed with my head. IN the 40 years I have been alive they have never closed schools early over in coming severe weather. They knew this thing was gonna cause hell and it did...

Ironically, I have a job interview next week and the HR lady that called me is from Henryville, IN. Her house was spared the worst and had minor damage.. Very ironic. I told her that I was very happy to be talking to her. She could have lost her life that day ....
