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.
