Having lived in Spring, Texas for a number of years, I can begin to understand how one must feel. Fortunately, we experienced only a few near misses, but to see the green sky and feel the atmospheric pressure drop is more than enough to scare the crap out of me. Added to this is the treat of hurricanes.Having lived through several tornadoes I can assure that they invoke raw primal fear deep in your soul. I imagine being Blitzed during WWII had a similar psychological effect. That feeling of needing tongs & a shoehorn to pry your nuts out of your throat afterwards is not easily forgotten.
I passed through Moore, OK in 2013 right after they had the infamous EF5 tornado in May. It was like travelling through the Ruhr Pocket in the Spring of '45.Unbelievable damage.

It's an indicator of how the weakened Jet is at present that more of these high latitudes are experiencing warm, dry weather, leading to wildfires.The hottest spot in Canada today was Cold Lake, Alberta, where the thermometer hit 32*C. The historical average high for this time of year is 19*C. Western Canada currently is experiencing abnormally high temperatures for this time of year with daily highs in the high 20*Cs to 32*C.; forest fires are raging.
Good to have you back Chris. Hope you're feeling betterApologies for not posting since November. Anxiety and seemingly endless appointments and other distractions got me out of the routine. Here's Hank Schyma's review of the 2019 storm season(s) to get me back to posting.
Slightly, thanks.Good to have you back Chris. Hope you're feeling better
That's crazy! The destruction and sight of the 'tail' at the end is incredible. I can't understand the cars that were just merrily driving in front of its path though.Hank Schyma with an amazingly close view of a tornado:
It seemed to intensify rapidly. I doubt Hank would have got that close had it been that violent as he approached.That's crazy! The destruction and sight of the 'tail' at the end is incredible. I can't understand the cars that were just merrily driving in front of its path though.
