Tornados!

   Storm footage from West Springfield, MA:

 

About 27 seconds into that you can hear terrified screams in the background. Keep monitoring the weather CBC.

 Thank you, I will.  I think all of us in Massachusetts will be more vigilant this summer!

Getting out of the way of a natural disaster makes sense. I can't find it on youtube, but during Hurricane Hugo a man, his son and grandson decided they were too tough to evacuate for a hurricane. They ended up hugging each other around a tree for several hours. They were smart enough to acknowledge that they were stupid for putting themselves in the situation and said they would evacuate in the event of future incoming.

  Here is some footage from Sturbridge, MA. 

 

Wonder if any where near the museum?   The storms missed us yesterday and went North to you.  Your right about people in the Northeast they have almost no experience with these things.  When My wife was in college they had them just off campus and security  herded everyone out of the large cement and brick science building that was built like a fortress into a glass enclosed breezeway between it and the old science building  and would not let them back in the other building.  I though am very fool hardy myself and will go out to watch weather at it's worst but I fully understand the dangers and accept them.  Been out within a quarter mile of tornadoes and out in hurricanes near the beach too it makes me feel almost high.

 I was lucky not to have to evacuate, but I was prepared to grab my phone and purse and scoot down to the basement!

For an adult that would be scary. As an 8 year old more so.

Wow CBC.

Glad you are OK, and that it didn't hit where you live.

Another tornado touched down in Northern California by Yuba City. No damage reported. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2011/06/01/state/n190225D61.DTL&tsp=1

  Anyone here have a tornado    or a tornado warning near home?

[odeon]

Here? You must be kidding.

I would love to see one but ours is not the kind of place that allows them to form.

Tornadoes are a rare weather phenomena here. You might hear of one every few years or so.

Same here in the west.

Scandinavia is too social-democratic for tornadoes

in serious speaking, for whateeever reason (not going into politics/climate-debate) tornado-like phenomena are becoming more common on our side of the Atlantic, and Iberia (Portugal+Spain) experienced some two or three years ago

(specifically talking about the rotating cyclone type of storm, since we have ordinary storms, and plenty of them )
