>> Now, that was a happening! You stayed? >> Tornado warnings blasting on my TV right now, not close yet. I have seen three very close up. When in the 8th grade, as school was getting out, teachers thought it prudent to move students to the front porch of the school as parents were driving through to pick us up. Meanwhile, a substantial tornado tore through the front law of the school -- a football-field sized area full of huge, old oak trees. Many of us stood on that porch and watched as massive oak trees were uprooted before our eyes. Never forgot that sight. It moved across the town to the area where I lived taking houses with it all the way. Missed our house but got the church across the street.

Chaos theory predicts that when a chaotic system moves from one strange attractor to another, the system experiences more and more extreme movements until it settles on the new strange attractor and the movements become more stable. Weather is why chaos theory was developed. Climate change can be viewed as a chaotic system shifting from one strange attractor to another. Therefore... Yeah, weather has come into the foreground.

>> Weather has come into the foreground in our lives. More information. It is different now because we have so much more awareness today. And let's face it -- when your local TV channel can say, "A hook echo is currently located 3 miles from your house," it does create more interest. An event like Camille (or Katrina) can be covered in fine detail from its genesis as a storm until the moment of landfall, and the damage surveyed 24/7 for days afterward. It is now beyond weather, it is viewed like entertainment.
