Agreed. This has been one of the most unpredictable, turbulent years weather wise I can remember.

judging how weather has been this year.... I imagine our summer won't be so kind to us this time....

Huh?

Didn't you notice how often natural disasters appear this year? It will become worse later.

Huh?

I'm thinking he's talking about the death count.

Edit = nope, I was wrong.

Natural disasters occur every year. I don't know at all that it will become worse later.

That is why I asked. I wasn't sure if he was talking about the death count or it was another doomsday prediction.

Just heard from some neighbors we had in Missouri. The house they had in Joplin is gone and all of their friends lost their homes. None of their friends lost their lives, but they did lose homes and so much more. R & L (my friends) are planning on doing what they can. They still have 3 homes nearby that they were getting ready to sell. They are allowing their friends to stay rent free. The church R & L belongs to has sent a truckload of clothing, food and supplies to these friends and others in Joplin. Another friend of mine was dispatched with the Missouri State Patrol. He was devastated to see all the damage, but feels good in knowing he is helping.

CNN said 116 so far....

Weird....it was CNN that said 200 last night....I'm glad it is lower, but that is still too many.

judging how weather has been this year.... I imagine our summer won't be so kind to us this time....

Like I said earlier....this reminds me alot of 04.....That summer was pretty bad. That is when I almost died in FL. Of course summer of 05 was much worse.
