Meanwhile more tornadoes in the South
Major damage in Mississippi. They're spreading across the South again. Another one near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Take care DUers.

1. We just went under a tornado watch in north central Florida
The sky looks so freaking weird. I do not like this.

Thanks for thinking of us, Malaise.

2. I would suggest to all architects, builders and developers to start
building more aerodynamic homes and structures with rounded exterior corners instead of the current sharp corners which are predominant and as a deck of cards regarding high wind resistance. I don't believe most any structure could withstand a direct hit from a tornado, but I believe this could significantly reduce the damage from high winds and increase the survivability of the people. I don't believe it was a coincidence that about the only structure left standing from the Atomic Bomb explosion at Hiroshima was dome shaped.

I believe with global warming climate change, tornado season will expand in intensity, seasonally and geographically. I can't remember when we had so many tornadoes in the winter.

Thanks for the thread, malaise.
