I don't blame you. I stay indoors as much as possible.*faints*
Tornadoes in Massachusetts is, sadly, getting to be an all too common occurrence compared to when I grew up here. According to data I looked up it hasn't really changed, but I only really remember one significant Tornado from around 1988 or 89 that hit Great Barrington. Though in th 1980's news from middle and western MA often didn't filter into this part of the Berkshires as the media infrastructure here was... well... weak (it's still pretty bad in my opinion, though there is cable internet, the phone lines are still copper...so we have 1 choice for high speed internet and they have consumers over a barrel).Well, there was a confirmed tornado in Worcester county Massachusetts today (Sunday)! And perhaps a couple others, the National Weather Service is inspecting and will give results tomorrow.

A few years ago, the stats said that Massachusetts average for tornadoes in a year was 2. A couple years ago, we passed that in one month. When I was a kid, we never heard of a tornado in Massachusetts!Tornadoes in Massachusetts is, sadly, getting to be an all too common occurrence compared to when I grew up here.

This would be my ideal temperature.. I suffer a lot from the heatas I write this the kookaburras are laughing, the kangaroos are bounding down the street and the dogs are barking at the possums..
it's around 11am here on a Monday morning and currently blue skies and 17c ( 64f )
YIKES!!!Tuesday, 08/08/2023, there were two tornadoes in Massachusetts! An EF1 and an EF0! That makes 4 so far this summer.
It's a severity grading system. Much like hurricanes. The scale goes up to EF5. Tornado Fujita severity scalewow.. an ef1 and an ef0
just one question.... what does that mean?
On the outskirts of LA (Tujunga), we actually had some rain yesterday, only 0.1" but I'll take itLos Angeles is having an utterly uncharacteristic overcast with remarkably mild temperatures. Mainly in the high 70s to low 80s.
It won't last. But I'll enjoy it while we have it.
