The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
It is ridiculous to blame this on global warning. That is nonsense. However, I notice that you are always quick to scoff at wind power when it is cold and there is no wind to drive the turbines yet you are strangely silent when Japan has now 6 nuclear reactors that are in a state of emergency and at risk of melting down. Whether it is from natural disaster like this event or terrorism in the future, nuclear power is something we have yet to make completely safe. When things go wrong with nuclear power they go VERY wrong.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan,
ReplyDeleteI'm not "strangely silent," I was attending an all-day conference yesterday, had a business dinner in Dallas, and got back to Wichita at 1:30am.
Yes, I scoff at wind power. The problems in Japan do not make current wind power any more desirable.
I do NOT support building more of the previous generation nuclear plants. I do support the new generation of nuclear power. I'm working on a posting on that subject that I hope to have up tomorrow.
