Nine-year-old Branson Baker and his parents were in their truck when they found themselves in the path of the severe storms that hit the state and devastated communities, the  New York Post   reported  Thursday.

  The Hill: Meteorologist says transportation officials ignored forecasts, leading to I-95 disaster This conforms my original take on the I-95 mess.  The people should have been told to take shelter from the storm like they often are about hurricanes.  There is plenty of lodging and food establishments along that route to take care of those stranded by the winter storm. They should have been announcing the storm and telling people to take shelter on all of the radio stations with emergency broadcast and the state should have had highway patrols diverting traffic to access roads where the hotels and motels are.

The infants were  miraculously  found unharmed underneath the flipped-over bathtub, which had landed in the backyard, according to a report. Officials from the Hopkins County Sheriff's Office reunited the ...

  Fox News: FEMA administrator blames climate change for deadly tornado outbreak   Criswell called such a severe and sustained outbreak of deadly storms this late in the year 'unprecedented' Actually, the comments on this story are more interesting than what Criswell has to say:  Power_Is_Work_Over_Time 9 hours ago Tornado's are found most frequently where you have Cold, dry air, mixing with warm moist air, and an Unstable air mass above, that allowed the warm air to continue to rise into air that is colder. It is NOT the amount of heat in the system. It is the differential that creates the power of the tornado system. Tornado's are not found in the tropics where it is warmer. They are found in the mid-latitudes, where cold and warm collide. Reply 441 2 Mikellkeeth 3 hours ago LOL. Do you actually think pointing out the science will accomplish anything? Climate change is a political hoax designed to illicit fear and have people beg the government to save them. Science...
