Mother Nature at it again

Might as well put that to good use

 

Come on ... it's free porn.

(In real life, we laughed our asses off, showed it to someone else who walked up to us, they laughed their asses off and then we left it.)

 

A friend in TV posted some FB photos from Joplin. One was a 2x4 driven through a concrete street curb. Another was a tennis shoe sticking halfway through an exterior wall of a house.

 

This area on Main where we found the tape was the only point where we could get close enough to things to get detail. We didn't see those sort of things because there wasn't much left of buildings or trees. Most of what we saw were flipped cars, some piled on top of each other.

That reminds me, some people are getting around however they can. A lot of cars with no windshields and then this...


They passed us on 20th St. Not the only example of people driving bashed-up cars, but the most damaged we saw.

 

I read on the St. Louis PDisp a story about a family's search for its missing toddler. Later reports have since suggested conflicting messages from family members that the kid is dead, but this is a riveting earlier story.

June snow!

(cue the "15 minutes from" jokes).

 

Tornadoes HERE today!! Well, in Springfield, which is about 70 miles west, but there have been about 20 Massachusetts towns with storm damage, which means it was spread over a pretty wide area. This sort of outbreak happens about once every 50 years or so here.

Winter Storm warning up for Wednesday in the Sierra Nevadas...no, not the ones in the Andes, the ones 15 minutes from Tahoe...

Yeah, there's no climate change.

 

While other states have already had wildfires burn more acreage in the spring than most summers.
