and the super cell is moving to DC.

Let me note something here... this is not a normal storm.

Second aspet, the SCIENCE predicts this kind of weather... that is global weather change.

Hope nobody gets hurt.

1. read somewhere today that the normal # of tornadoes is like 276 for this time of year

and we've already had 500+

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. And we have them tracking north

DC is usually not in the path...

Or in places like San Francisco. It was not a water spout moving on land, it was a tornado.

6. yep -- they've been tracking farther northeast, out of "tornado alley" for a few years.

lots of talk about that when the big one hit Nashville back in 1999 (I think it was).

4. Rush Limbaugh says he does not believe

in anything his $40 million a year RepubliCorp paymasters tell him not to believe in

So there you have it -- These extraordinary tornadoes are something no Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh listener will acknowledge

8. You forgot ass boil druggie

9. 13 dead-today- in Alabama, so far.

Huge F-4 or F-5 hit Tuscaloosa, then zoomed into Birmingham.

Twitter says this was a Krispy Creme shop in Tuscaloosa:


local video shows massive destruction, shopping centers and stores flattened in Tuscaloosa.

10. And it moves on

by the way, didn't the Repubs cut the funding of DMAT teams? You mean the SAME DMAT teams that might be needed?
