A tornado grows in NYC
Weird morning, weather-wise, in NYC what with a tornado in Brooklyn and Bay Ridge, torrents of rain, flooded subways, slow commuter railroads. . . . but not as catastrophic as some are saying. Read this from a man who has studied weather for years and knows it well. Especially note the part about how earth isn't "striking back" or trying to rid itself of an infectious disease, namely human beings.

Lots of interesting weather here in Ohio too. We got two inches of rain in two hours the other morning during a big thunderstorm, causing flooding in parts of the Cleveland area. It poured rain last night for a brief period. It's been very humid the last few days.

It's nice to read an article that doesn't fill you with fear about the future of the world. I do think there is a problem with pollution and that whole area, but maybe it's not as bad as we keep hearing.

Hi, Linda. I agree that pollution is dreadful and that we need to clean up a lot, but I have to believe that (just as an example) it had to have been more dangerous from a health standpoint in the completely unsanitary world of the Middle Ages. We need perspective and clear-headed rational discourse a lot more than instinctual fear.
