Thread Name: What's the weather like where you are?
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are?
Three states near me, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa, suffered the worst tornado outbreak in history last Friday, one week ago. 63 tornadoes occurred, although all of those I have heard of have been rather small - EF 3's. One 4, I believe. Not that an EF3 isn't dangerous.
Most of the damage occurred to small towns with working-class houses which were simply smashed to smithereens. Pick-up trucks were tossed about. I believe there were no deaths, wonderfully enough.
Where I live there were thunderstorms and one tornado watch, but most of Missouri was spared. We had a simply beautiful day today, and the DH and I went out when the sun had weakened (5 pm) and planted tomatoes and herbs.
