    The only place having its normal weather is Iceland.

    Today we had one TV station (CBS) devote it's entire coverage to
    monitor & issue weather alerts for Tornados & Severe Weather warnings.
    No Commercials at all, straight Weather reporting. We've had bad storms
    with Tornado watches all day & tomorrow is supposed to be a repeat of
    today.

    It's unheard of for a commercial TV station to forego money maker
    commercials for just weather news. This is strange weather for sure.

    Better ratings and commercial rates in the post-storm buzz about them doing such a good thing for the community.

    If they didn't think they could recoup the one day loss over the long run, they wouldn't have done it.

    Correction: The other 4 stations began coverage at 2pm and continued until
    all severe storms had left central Indiana at 2am this morning. There was
    no network tv at all last night.

    Yesterday here in Ohio was bad. Scary. My son was in town for a visit and on the way home to Mich he saw a tornado on the highway.
    He said it was the scariest thing he ever saw and he will remember it all his life.
    Every 50 years or so we go through these times. The sun the moon the stars, mother nature. We have no control.
    Perhaps we will have a good summer perhaps next year will be a great summer.
    What does it mean? NOTHING. It just is.

    I've been through a tornado in the field while at FT. Hood.

    It was humorous at the time, lots of reasons I wont get into, but we got lucky as the only injuries were a pair of M-16A2s wrapped around a tree.

    Weather happens, and the climate has shifted on this dirtball for millenia.

    I dunno about that - we are having our normal weather - varying day by day, rain, sun, warm, cool, you name it, we get it!
