Not one, or two, but three tornado warnings near me right now. Good times.
The stickpin is pretty close to my house. Each one of those cells has a tornado.
Headed downstairs now

Good luck! If you walk outside, and everything is in color, beware the Lollipop Guild. Those guys are jerks. |

Seven now, http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/04/27/severe ... 1&iref=BN1 Nitefox and LadyKate are in the middle of all that. Neither have posted since yesterday afternoon. Checked Facebook, Nitefox and LadyKate are at the Railroad Revival in new Orleans, away from the bad weather, but apparently in a traffic accident where they received MINOR injuries. For those who use Facebook https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&theater |

Still not quite over with, there look to be a couple more bands of fun yet to come. Here's what was coming down a couple hours ago though.

Be safe everyone in the area of those storms!! I have friends in Tuscaloosa I haven't heard from since early this morning. My son actually slept through most of what went through Murfreesboro today and had to drive through some of it to get to work tonight. I've been worried sick!

It's been insane today. Phe and I worked from home because of the weather. I saw reports of a 1-mile-in-diameter tornado in Birmingham flinging debris up to 20 miles away. We finally managed to get through to our friends and family in the area, and they're ok. My mom said there were around 40 dead in Alabama, but I haven't checked those numbers. Here's a video from Tuscaloosa. http://t.co/b0sy2Mh And another vid, but I don't know the origin: http://www.twitvid.com/4W6PU |

And people won't come to California because they are afraid of earthquakes. The kind of weather yo have right now is really scary. |

We have both tornadoes and earthquakes where I live. Granted, the earthquakes aren't the size of the ones in California, but we do have them. At any rate, it's spring. That means tornado season. They'll stop coming around the middle of May. I don't think midwest construction code even allows houses without underground basements because of the possibility of a tornado. |

Most homes in the area have them because most people want them. Some of the cheaper homes in the subdivisions just off Lindbergh in Hazelwood have no basements.Go out to Springfield or Ozark and you won't find many basements at all because of all the granite and red clay making basements impractical. |

Tornadoes are top on my list of acceptable natural disaster risks, Mike. It's a conscious decision. |

Hell, there's trailer parks just like everywhere else. That said, if you're building a house, most people are willing to pay a bit for the shelter. |

Aha! I see the problem, now. Those storms are hitting outside tornado alley. If those red dots were two or three states to the left, this wouldn't be making the news. |

From CNN: Quote: Tornadoes sucked up homes, spewed debris and cut huge paths of destruction, killing 234 people in six southern states. Alabama was hardest hit with 149 dead.

My point is, if the entire state of Kansas was suddenly uprooted by tornadoes and carried off to Oz, no one outside of Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Missouri would hear about it. |

This is one of the deadliest series of tornadoes in decades I think. If Kansas was blown away, they would mention it in Texas. We are part of the alley. The death toll is like the (unofficial) one here after Ike.
