It's been lovely up here too, not too hot, just nice. But, there was a cold wind this morning, when I was taking my daughter to school. I was feeling guilty that I told her it was too nice for the winter coat she was wanting to wear and made her wear a jersey hoodie instead. I'm a bad mum. :(

I'm in Alabama and it's been in the high 70's low 80's. No bad tornadoes yet though. We don't usually get those until April.

Here you go. This was one of those big ones we had last year. It's our weather guys showing it. This is what was on all the local channels at the time. I watch this station when the weather is bad, and I was sitting in my mothers livingroom watching this live. Our power went out near the end of this and stayed off for about 5 days. YouTube "Tuscaloosa Tornado" and you can find lots of videos. Theres one of where it hit University Mall and took out the wall of Belk. The guy filmed it from the parking lot in his car.

Thank you for posting that, I enjoyed it very much. I always love watching them, as well as lightning. Those tornados seemed like a couple of F5s. Isn't an F5 where its size is half to a mile wide?

Yep, those were F5's. They were last April in Tuscaloosa Alabama. You can find lots and lots of footage of them on YouTube. From what was on the news to people filming them in their car or outside or whatever. Those were huge and did a lot of damage and killed a lot of people. They went right through downtown Tuscaloosa, right near the University of Alabama. They don't usually hit cities down here. Cities aren't usually built in the paths that they normally go in, and they do tend to go in certain areas here. You can also YouTube the damage afterwards. It looked (and still looks in many places) like a war zone. Some stores and houses are completely gone. One went through about four miles or so from here that day but it didn't get bad here at my place at all. Lots of trees down up toward Eoline and stuff though.

YouTube is full of those things. Also, if you like, you can watch our local weather man live online when stuff like that is going on. He's streaming live on the internet during that kind of weather. Google Alabamas ABC 33/40. Thats the station we watch that does the online stuff too, it's the one I sent you there. You can sign up for weather alerts to be emailed to you so youll know when theres a tornado warning and James Spann is going to be on the air live. He stays on constantly and has live pictures and all that when it happens. We had tornados all over the state that day and he was on tv about 16 hours straight.

Nothing but rain over here. Anyone care to switch for a couple of days?

It hit the middle 80s (like 30C) last week. Made all the blossoms and buds open. Now its back to typical early spring in Michigan (i.e cold and dreary as hell). Yesterday sucked the big one. It was just barely above freezing and raining. There was ice coating some of the trees and blossoms a little north, plus snow and hail. Poor plants. :(

There was already one this year way up here in Michigan. An F3 in Dexter, which is just north of Ann Arbor. It was strong enough to completely demolish several well built houses. Incredibly rare for March. In a normal year if we get any tornados at all they happen in June.
