Looks like I will be on and off due to weather again. Tennessee has become the new tornado alley, due to global warming and changing weather trends. . . We had some terrible tornados this morning that brought the town of Clarksville [the one we took the last train to], what the fire chief described as "total devastation." I am sure you have all seen the pictures of Jackson and of Nashville last year. Today we have Little Rock and even moreso, Clarksville. Some are dead, many are injured and lots of folks lost their homes. When the original tornado alley started in Texas and ripped through Eastern Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri . . .they typically tired themselves out in the cornfields and other farmlands. . .taking out an occassional farm house. But this shift has turned the alley straight into more densely populated regions of Western Arkansas, Western Missouri, Western and Mid-Tennessee and parts Southern Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. These storms are also arriving several months earlier than expected. April has always been storm month. Just in the past few years, that has been changed to January. Looks like we will be spending a good part of the day in the basement of my strong brick house, as one storm after another forms or strengthens. . .threatening the peace of the volunteer state. Last time we had a tornado day, I heard 2 go overhead and could go outside and hear them passing by throughout the day. Sounds funny, huh? Well, just last night 30 tornados shredded Arkansas. Last spring, when Nashville had its direct hit, there were so many tornados that Nashville local TV's "storm tracker 2000" system was showing as many a 6 tornados at a given time. All TV has been cancelled and many schools, in anticipation of a challenging day for all here. Pray for those living in mobile homes in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky today. Rande Is
