Re: Storms kill scores in Alabama and other south US states
We are having some nasty weather here in the states..... Not effected this severely, personally, as in some places.
but there was the flood two months ago, trees down here, there and everywhere from high winds since, tornado warning last Wednesday, 60 mph winds last night and most of today....... But climate doesn't change, don't ya know.

Re: Storms kill scores in Alabama and other south US states
Surprising and saddening to hear... Especially seeing how sunny and clear it is here in california....
I hope all of the communities affected are immediately and adequately taken care of...

The one that hit Tuscaloosa was an F5, the most violent. F5s have wind speeds of 261-318 Mph (420-511 Kph). Back in the 1974, the small town I grew up in (Xenia, OH) was hit by an F5, and left was a 1/2 mile wide x 2 mile long path that looked like someone ran bulldozers all over it knocking down houses, trees, and anything that was above ground. Here's a link here you can read and see some pics of that tornado. Super Outbreak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pic: http://www.april31974.com/images/xeniaohiohouses.jpg Here's a link to an explanation of the Fujita Scale, which is the criteria on which tornadoes are measured.
