Tornadoes
This is a very dangerous time of year in the flyover states. The Queen of All Evil has spent worried hours waiting for storms to pass over in the Detroit area.
An entire town in Nebraska was demolished over the weekend by an F3 class tornado. Those are pretty darn big ones, but not the biggest.
And it looks like the weather pattern for much of this week will continue to spawn storms that can bring tornadoes. So, everyone between Minnesota and Texas and west of the Rockies and East of the Eastern Seaboard - stay safe and keep you eye on the skies.

Tornadoes scare me. We get them occasionally down here, mainly off of hurricanes, but we have no place to hide. We don't have basements down here. Dig too deep in S. Fl and you hit water. I'd rather do a Cat 1 hurricane any day over any tornado at all.

I have no place to hide either. I have no basement. Our strategy is "Kerryesque" - see tornado, cut and RUN!!!!!!
I've been sleeping in gym shoes and a sweat jacket for the last week!
