"They" said that as global warming progressed, the weather systems that once
plagued us here in the south -- heavy springtime rains, flooding, tornadoes,
violent thunderstorms, all the stuff we'd gotten accustomed to -- would move
farther north. We've been in a pretty persistent near-drought condition down
here for five or six years, with nary a tornado for just about as long. It's
been real quiet this spring, too. I miss the thunderstorms. I always enjoyed
the free light and sound shows.
But what the hell do "they" know? Our all-knowing guvmint says it's just
normal climatic fluctuations. So, enjoy them twisters, y'all. And y'all might
want to get a canoe. And a paddle, too.
