My Way News - 15-state tornado outbreak deadliest since 2008
My Way News reports: "The devastation is stunning - homes and lives shattered as the deadliest swarm of twisters in three years battered up to 15 states. Ultimately, this could turn out to be among the top 10 three-day outbreaks for number of tornadoes, though experts can't be sure until all the reports are sorted, said Greg Carbin of the federal Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla."

Comment: Yes, I know, it's just weather, but history-making and nearly-unprecedented weather is always notable. In this case, these storms support the idea that changing weather patterns attributed to global warming are making large storms larger, both on land and at sea. If the pattern holds we can expect more of the same.
