MA not MO

There is no proof that global warming had any influence over the recent spate of tornadoes, including yesterday’s here in Massachusetts. What’s known for certain is that Massachusetts has gay marriage. I bet somebody somewhere thinks there’s a connection.

Warning: every other word in this video is f**k or s**t, but can you blame him?

Tornado!

We’re getting a taste of what Alabama and Missouri suffered. A tornado touched down in Western Massachusetts, with two confirmed deaths in my old stomping grounds of Westfield. Mike Dobbs, whose “Out of the Inkwell” blog is a link over on the right, lost every tree in his Springfield yard, and one of them destroyed his car. The lightning/thunder/rain here, closer to Boston, has let up twice, only to get even worse again each time. The lights have flickered a couple of times, so I’ll post this now in case we lose power.

Update: news reports corrected the two deaths in Westfield. They were actually in West Springfield, a neighboring town.
