Hi Erin. Happy early Xmas ! I think you just set a new record for replying to a comment made 12 yrs ago.
Lol, yeah that's me ,always late to respond.
 
A sadist, a masochist, a serial killer, a necrophile, a zoophile and an arsonist are sitting on a bench in a park and are bored!

The zoophile says: "Come on, we catch a cat"

The sadist says: "We catch a cat and torture it!"

Serial killer says: "We catch a cat, torture it and kill it"

The necrophiliac says; "We catch a cat, we torture it, we kill it and then we rape it!"

The arsonist says: "We catch a cat, we torture it, we kill it, we rape it and then we burn it!"

The masochist says: "Meow !!!"

Ohhh this is awesome but it is a pity the cat was not burned before it was killed? Meow
 
The news from Kentucky, and neighbouring states, is pretty grim -
even those who are pretty used to tornados are saying what happened was much worse -
I hope none of our friends have been affected - my thoughts are with all who have been:

 
Among the sites hit were a candle factory in Kentucky, an Amazon warehouse in Illinois and a nursing home in Arkansas. The death toll most likely exceeds 100.
 
Supposedly the US is "blessed" with a perfect topography for tornadoes. Winds blow across the western mountains (the Sierra in California and then the Rockies) and that compresses the air. Then, it falls off the cliff into the Plains and cools as it expands. Warmer air from the surface rushes up, and the rotation of the earth creates a vortex in "Tornado Alley". This particular incident was further east, apparently caused by the arrival of a cold front aloft from the west coupled with very warm, moist surface air coming up from the Gulf--creating exactly the same effect.
Tornadoes are a problem where I live. The county has sirens which they test the first Friday of every month at 12 PM and 7 PM--a few minutes of annoying wailing followed by an almost unintelligible voice over a loudspeaker. I have lived here a long time, and only really seen one bad incident. In 2011 some vortices which thankfully did not touch down spread over the campus and uprooted hundreds of trees (some several feet in diameter). It took about two months to clear all the debris, but no major damage occurred to buildings. (It gave them a chance to ask for donations. They always plant a ton of flowers right at graduation, too--you've already shelled out a fortune for tuition so what's a little more going to matter?).
As Tree said, yesterday was around 65 here but the wind was 40 or so mph, so it felt like 30. Last night it was below freezing. The day before we got a lot of rain. So there was a lot of what the weather people call "energy" (as moist air rises it cools, the moisture condenses, and releases "latent heat of condensation", which stirs things up) and it doesn't surprise me that the track was so long. I remember several cases in the past few years where the track extended for tens of miles. The water temperature in the Gulf is going up inexorably.

While we talk tornadoes, an as yet unnamed volcano in the Cumbre Vieja Range has set a new duration record on the Canary Island of La Palma. Never before in the known history, a eruption lasted at least 85 days.
Twenty years ago, two geophysicist have coined the possibility that a volcanic eruption could make large part of the island slide into the Atlantic, which could cause a tsunami that could even run as far as the American East Coast, and engulf NYC under a 90 meters high wave. Others claim it would 'only' get 3 meters high when it would reach NYC, but that is stiil something to give 5 th Ave wet feet.
