Maryland, Virginia tornadoes confirmed in damage assessments
2008-06-07 00:46:00 The National Weather Service confirmed that at least six tornadoes struck Maryland and northern Virginia during Wednesday's massive storm outbreak. WRC/4 reports that National Weather Service meteorologists evaluated the Chesapeake Beach, Md. storm in Calvert County as an EF-0, the weakest form of tornado. The aerial pictures demonstrated if nothing else that even the weakest of tornadoes can cause significant damage.Northern Virginia's multiple damage patterns were caused at least in part by tornadoes as well. EF-1 tornadoes caused damage in Stafford, Culpeper and Fauquier counties. EF-1 is the next highest level of tornado severity after EF-0 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.Much of the damage that occurred in the Washington, D.C. area though was the result of straight line winds. Gusts of 70 to 80 mph over a wide geographic area caused over 300,000 customers to lose electrical service including the DCAbloob homestead. A few tens of thousands are still without power, an increasing c...

A Deadly Year For Tornadoes Predicted
2008-06-03 17:00:00 Tornadoes have already killed 100 people this year. It’s severe weather season and it’s always good to be alert to tornadoes and other deadly weather events that can strike anywhere tornadoes can form. This year could be a deadly year for tornadoes with already 100 people killed by the violent storms, according to CBS 4 Denver. There have already been 1200 tornadoes this year, reports the AP. The fearsome nature of tornadoes has been caught on tape many times this year. A recent tornado ripping through a bank was caught by security cameras. Watching the video shows the devastating power of tornadoes and underscores the need to always seek shelter when tornado warnings and watches are issued. Nobody wants to be caught in the deadly winds of a tornado while it is ripping through a house or business.

Tornadoes hit Virginia
2008-04-29 04:29:00 SUFFOLK, Va. - Three tornadoes ripped through Virginia on Monday, with one hop-scotching across the southeastern part of the state and leaving behind a 25-mile trail of gutted homes, tossed cars and more than 200 injured residents.Residents of some of the hardest hit neighborhoods in this town outside Norfolk were forced to evacuate their homes, with buses taking them to nearby shelters. Police closed roads, steering people away from streets with downed power lines.Downed trees and power lines covered the streets in a section of the city. A vending machine was tilted on its side, leaning up against a pile of rubble that had been the general store in a small shopping district."It's just a bunch of broken power poles, telephone lines and sad faces," said Richard Allbright, who works for a tree removal service in Driver and had been out for hours trying to clear the roads.Gov.

Tornadoes sweep U.S. South, 48 dead
2008-02-07 12:04:00 By Pat Harris NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - Tornadoes and thunderstorms shattered parts of the U.S. South on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing at least 48 people and injuring more than 150 in the deadliest such outbreak in nine years. Hardest hit were the states of Tennessee -- where 24 died -- Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama, with unconfirmed reports of 69 tornadoes across the region and northward into Indiana, according to the National Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

The death toll rivaled that of the last large deadly outbreak in May 1999 in Oklahoma, Texas and other states, the center said. The White House said President George W. Bush had calle...

Tornadoes in U.S. South kill at least 54 people
2008-02-07 12:04:00 By Pat Harris NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - Tornadoes and thunderstorms flattened the land and shattered lives across the U.S. South on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing at least 54 people and injuring more than 150 in the deadliest such storms in nine years. In Tennessee's Sumner County, northeast of Nashville, a tornado sucked an 11-month-old boy and his mother from their home. They were found later in a field. The child survived in good condition, but his mother was dead. Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen said he was shocked by the intensity and scope of a storm that "just literally sat on the ground in wide areas" along a track that was as much as 400 miles (643 km) wide. At Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, Ferina Ferrington told a local TV reporter: "My husband and I got into the bathtub with our little girl. I remember flying through the air. It was very scary. Then it was real quiet and we saw our house was gone. Our baby was unhurt." President George W. Bus...

Super Tuesday and Tornadoes?
2008-02-06 19:43:00 by Nicole McIntyre Let's just say that yesterday was "exciting" on a variety of levels:1. I voted in my first Presidential primary. It was pretty cool to know that I was a part of Super Tuesday. 2. I had my first experience with an electronic voting machine. I know it's probably irrational, but are they really all that safe? I guess it's better than "hanging chads."3. I had my first voting experience with a toddler. He thought he was pretty impressive wearing his "I voted" sticker. He also blew kisses to the poll workers and tried to "hide" from them.4. I was slightly annoyed that at no point in my voting process was my ID asked for. I even had to double check my voter registration card to make sure I was signing in right and that did not raise up any red flags to anyone. I guess if you are in your late 20's, white, female, and toting a toddler they really aren't worried about your voter fraud potential.5. I was so involved in the process that I spent all night going between th...
Made it Through the Tornadoes
2008-02-06 19:26:00 Last night was one of the worst tornado nights we've had in years. Something about the darkness makes any tornado night much more frightening than the same weather during the day, though. I waited up for quite a while to see what was going to happen, but ended up going to bed figuring that if one got close the sirens would wake me up. They certainly did. There were two tornadoes in town and a few others in the surrounding counties by about 3:30 a.m. The worst point was when the local news zeroed in it's street map on the "danger zone." My subdivision was on it. One of the tornadoes ended up passing about a mile from us at one point. At the time it was closest, that eerie calm descended. If you've ever had a tornado close by, you may know what I'm talking about. As long as the rain is coming down, the tornado is usually not that close. But, as soon as the rain stops and it looks like nature is trying to lure you outside with false promises, you're screwed. We had a few minutes o...

By democracy I understand something else. Our representatives of the people became long Volkszertretern and do not shear themselves not the bean around humans, around the people. The interserums of Mr. Bush from the USA our politicians long became more important than security in the own country. “Berlin is not extortable! ” - sounds beautiful and good and sounds vollmundig from the mouth of Mr. Schäuble.
