Tornados and Lightening Oh My

Tornados hit central Massachusetts today. While it was interesting for a bit, thankfully all I got was a big lightening storm. Still, lightening can be impressive.



Here are some photos from Springfield. At least four people were killed.

Experts see no link between Mass. tornadoes and Midwest twisters -- or global warming.

"The tornadoes that struck central Massachusetts today are an unusual phenomenon for New England -- the product of warm, humid air and winds that created the perfect conditions to generate the spinning, funnel-shaped storm. While the state doesn't have a large number of tornadoes, a National Weather Service meteorologist said there are typically one or two a year."

Personally I think they hit because Sarah Palin arrived in MA. Palin's bus nearly crosses path with tornado.

Updatefrom the Herald: "Rescue crews continued their desperate search this morning for survivors of two killer tornadoes that swept through western and central Massachusetts late yesterday, leaving at least four people dead, some 200 injured and as many as 50,000 people without power."
