Violent Weather

sheesh.
Now they're taking the post as I'm writing it. Whatever. Don't ask. Another piece of resistance to deal with, that's all.
Let me re create it. I was really on a roll. Zapped again.

Terribly violent weather has hit the Mid Western part of the US. I need to print this map out for myself, because I always get confused with the borders of the Mid Western States. That's because I'm a North Easterner, now South Easterner. It is easier for us, cause one border is always the Atlantic Ocean. :P

We're in Spring. When Spring speaks, we'd better listen.
sighs.
Everything will be as it should be.
Change is the only constant. Yet, it seems always to be the same issues, dunnit. And time is moving faster, even though actually since the tsunami the earth is revolving on its axis 1/10,000 of a second slower. I have the print out, but I don't have the link.Fascinating.

Tornadoes, hail hit south, central U.S.; 27 dead
At least 23 fatalities reported in Tenn. as crews search for bodies, survivors

NEWBERN, Tenn. -
Thunderstorms packing tornadoes and hail as big as grapefruits ripped through eight U.S. states, killing at least 27 people, injuring scores and destroying hundreds of homes.

Tennessee was hit hardest, with tornadoes striking five western counties Sunday and killing 23 people, including an infant and a family of four.

Most of the deaths were along a 25-mile path stretching from Newbern, about 80 miles northeast of Memphis, to Bradford, officials said.
The Highway Patrol sent teams with search dogs to the area Monday to check what remained of the homes and businesses for anyone who might be trapped in the rubble.

Severe thunderstorms, many producing tornadoes, also struck parts of Iowa, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
Strong wind was blamed or at least three deaths in Missouri. A clothing store collapsed in southern Illinois, killing one man.

The weather service's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, said it had preliminary reports of 63 tornadoes.

Tennessee officials estimated 1,200 buildings were damaged in one county alone, and Newbern alderman Robert Hart said witnesses described the tornado that hit his town as being "almost a mile wide."

About a half-dozen tornadoes struck Arkansas and one destroyed nearly half of the town of Marmaduke, according to a fire department official.

In mid-March, tornadoes spun off by another huge storm system killed nine people in Missouri and injured dozens in Illinois. Initial reports indicated that system was responsible for more than 100 twisters in five states from Oklahoma to Illinois, the National Weather Service said.

BBC of course gives us a different perspective reporting.

Deadly storms batter central US

Violent storms, with tornadoes and large hail, have swept several US states, killing at least 23 people.

Tennessee was the hardest hit with 19 deaths reported. Three people died in Missouri and one in Illinois.

In Arkansas, dozens of people were injured when tornadoes hit the north-eastern part of the state.

Heavy storms also battered Kentucky and Indiana, where thousands of concert-goers were forced to flee as tornado sirens went off.

The storms uprooted trees, brought down power lines and overturned mobile homes and cars across wide sections of some central states.
