And the night is only getting started.
Evening update, a 90mph line of storms is approaching Chicago, multiple tornadoes on the ground. Others in Wisconsin, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee. The Ryan Hall livestream is a valuable resource, if you happen to live in these regions.

I live just north of this area. We had thunderstorms and rain last night on our snow piles. We have a break in the storms now, but we are going to have 5-8 inches or more of snow tonight.
Right now, we are in the 30’s, and it is 67F in Fort Dodge a few hundred miles away. The big differences in air temperature drive these storms.
I would rather have the snow than the chance of severe storms, as if I individually had any say in the matter.
Yeah here in Central Wisconsin we are not totally safe but the chance of getting hit by one of these monsters is quite a bit lower. Weird spring here. We had rain in February and then more snow. Colder than normal and an eight inch layer of solid ice under the melting snow.
Hmmm would I rather shovel snow or shovel roof shingles…
6PM update from west of Minneapolis
Pea sized hail and thunderstorms. Everything feels like it is about to turn to ice at sundown.
It is already starting in Arkansas.
The once in a century or millenium or forever drought in California seems to have disappeared from the news cycle. Maybe buried under the many inches of rain and feet of snow? Up next, historic flooding in California further evidence of climate change scientists warn. Anyone want to take a bet on that headline?
Warm? Climate change and doom. Cold? Climate change and doom. Just right? You guessed it.
Climate Change® causes EXTREMELY AVERAGE WEATHER!! We’re all gonna die!!!
Oh noes! What to do? What to do? Let me put on my Marxist Government Bureaucrat Thinking Hat and see what I can come up with… after my coffee break.

wOw ZA! That is one H-E-double-toothpicks of a tornado in that video. Climate? No, it’s weather and it can be merciless and brutal at times. Not looking good for the Midwest right now.
700 inches of snow in Mammoth .
A tornado hit my home in the Midwest on the 1970’s.
A hurricane hit my home in Florida in the 1980’s.
The tornado was much scarier – we got about a 5 minute warning on the TV. Glad I wasn’t asleep like those poor folks in Mississippi. You get the hurricane warning 24/48 hours in advance. Board up or leave.
I’m done with East of the Rockies. I moved to western Montana 30 years ago. I can deal with the snow, wild animals and forest fires.

More of the Climate Crisis.
We need to raise taxes to defeat the climate.
CO2 = pollution.
The Science is settled!

I have the utmost respect for tornado chasers, and tornadoes for that matter.
Personally, I find tornadoes both terrifying and beautiful.
A you-tuber called “Peckos Hank” does some great work.
Had one out here near to me in Kaladar about a year ago, but it was dark out, so nobody got any footage, but it killed cell and satellite service, and the devastation was epic, still evident to this day, and I’m glad to say that some people actually profited from it by hauling away the broken trees and selling them for firewood.
Bucking them up was a real drag, though, all full of dirt dulling the chains.
Yeah, we swept and scraped the logs, rolled them over to try to minimize the dirt pulled through as we cut, but at the end of 4-5 hours of cutting, our chains needed sharpening, and I needed beer, old fart that I am.
You don’t have to be crazy to get into that occupation, but it must sure help.
If I had funding, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Peckos Hank is a bit nutty, but I like his work. He saves animals on the road, too, and I’m not really an animal lover, but I too have saved turtles on the road a few times; lucky for them I wasn’t too hungry.
Surely a government that claims it can control the climate can stop tornadoes in their tracks. But then, this is all happening in flyover country. East Palestine Syndrome.
Chaos , it’s what’s for dinner.
It’s not just for breakfast any more!
