If this doesn't confirm global warming, nothing does.

1. Tornadoes in Texas are not uncommon....

What was uncommon was the fact that the heat index was near 110 that day! That is weird! I live 10 miles from where the twisters touched down. I watched them form right on top of me. We had a cap in place, but this super-cell poked a hole right in it and exploded!

2. Snowing! Hell, have you seen the Weather radar!?!?

It looks like a slow moving Hurricane! I wish I knew what the Barometric pressure is right now in Three Rivers, Michigan right about now. I bet it's very low.

9. Are you talking Temperature Fahrenheit or Barometric pressure?

Because 29 I could understand, but 27 in Duluth, THAT would be a VERY low Pressure!

10. Why can't there be

just one well placed tornado in a certain TX ranch just so a certain someone would know first hand what it would be like to lose his kids' pics and things that can't be replaced? Oh wait, he wouldn't care...his momma made dups of everything for him. Plus, some kind repuke would send him more crayons and paper to draw on.

I wonder if poppy goes to bed laughing at night at his dumb ass son's latest antics?
