Last night, between 5 and 7 PM, as the remnants of Ida dumped multiple inches of rain in our area, the Weather Service issued no less than four tornado warnings...and confirmed sightings in two of them.
Fortunately, even the closest one was two or three miles from us and moved rapidly (estimated at 50 MPH) away to the northeast. This was the third time this summer we've had tornado warnings or actual sightings within about a ten-mile radius of our neighborhood. As for other storm reports, we had a little water seep into our basement (but we always do in anything other than a light shower), but no major flooding in our immediate area. There are a couple of places nearby (under a railroad bridge, for instance) that I know not to go anywhere near in even a moderate thunderstorm.
Anyone still think climate change is a hoax?
