Please use this thread to keep us updated on your safety. We are too spread out in squads to keep up with our DF family.

This is only the beginning of the tornado season and it will be wide spread again. For those not aware of Tornado Alley...it encompasses the center of the North American Continent. We have "family" all through this area.

Even if you are not affected by the weather itself DONATE BLOOD. This is the beginning of the slow donor months.

My prayers for everyone's safety.

Just sent a crew of people and dogs ASAP. I pray they may help.

PLEASE CALL THE RED CROSS AND HELP!!!

I'm currently a student at GMU. I decided to go back for a second degree in environmental science. Last semester, I took a class in severe weather and the focus of my study was in tornado genesis and why we get the most tornadoes here in the US---on the average of 1,000 per year. The 2nd country with the most occurrences--Canada at only 100 tornadoes. So we get 10 times more tornadoes here then the second closest country and it all has to do with the rockies and gulf of mexico.

Incase anyone is interested in how they work, here's the presentation I made. Currently, the best we can forecast a tornado warning is 15-30 minutes in ideal conditions. However, in 2015, NASA will launch the GOES-R satellite, which is expected to at least double that warning time.

If you like detailed information, just let me know. I'd be happy to share.

Best of luck to those affected and dearest condolences to the lives lost.

Well I'm about to get hit by winds
I got anemometers and barometers ready.

Stay safe buddy. You know the drills. Keep us posted.

I want this thread to magically disappear, but Mother Nature disagrees.

Please use this outlet to keep us ALL informed as to your condition and needs. Don't keep it just in your squad.

WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES.
