|

I live in Joplin, Mo, USA and we had some deadly storms blow through today. About 9 miles from my house there was a line of destruction 1/2 mile wide and 5 miles long. A tornado went through Picher, Ok, USA and a lady found a cancelled check from someone in Picher in Springfield, Mo, USA about 80 miles northeast of Picher. My family and I were at Wal Mart when the sirens went off and were stuck in the store for over 45 minutes. While the hail hammered the building. There were reports of softball sized hail. 14 confirmed dead in the area so far. What a day. It got me thinking of where else they have tornadoes in the world. Nothing like seeing cars tossed around like toothpicks.

It is sunny here, well it has been lately. Not had to wear my coat for a week now.
I'm sure summer will last until at least next week.

Not any tornadoes here, but big storms are normal very very very many times a year.
I hate you.

Last tornado around Moscow was in 1984, killed a decent amount of people. Cars were flying in the air along with roofs and cows.

No real big tornado's here but there have been small ones that coverd the entire village in hay from the farmland. The only big thing we have had in the reigion was a downburst 15 miles north of where i live.

Yes we have tornadoes, microbursts, flash floods, giant hail, ice storms, blizzards and lots of thunder storms.
One day if I ever get a decent job, I would like to build my own house and have a tunnel from the basement going out to a dedicated tornado shelter under the back yard. I think I might build the whole house out of concrete instead of the regular wood frame most people have. Right now I have a large basement but I wonder what would happen if the house was ripped off the foundation or if it fell into the basement while I am hiding there.

We had whirlwinds near the city of Dubrovnik a month ago, there were like 12 of them at one time on the see, it was really freaky...

Not where I am from, however the weather has done some weird things. As goble warming happens tornadoes are going to be happening further up north and perhapes places where they haven't been seen before. The storms we are getting seem to be a lot worse and do more damage
