Here's a nice picture of what Tornado Alley looks like.

"Tornadoes are most common here because it is the region where warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cold, dry air from the Rocky Mountains and Canada, creating intense, tornado-producing thunderstorms known as supercells." Wikipedia.

When I grew up in Florida, tornadoes were all but non-existent (save for the random water spouts that rarely made landfall). How odd that now they seem to have more than Georgia does.

Once again, 150 miles away from most of the action.

We had a tornado just a mile or two from my house two days ago. There was quite a few in the area. One family's house was crushed by a very large tree in their front yard, a school was damaged, a garage they had was completely taken out, and a restaurant was destroyed, but no one was hurt, thankfully...

Please, everyone - keep us updated. This weather pattern is just crazy.

I heard 2nd tornade news at this morning (Japanese time).
I pray for all members, their family, and their friends are OK...
