Paducah made the list of the top cities with variable weather!
Cities with the most variety of weather!
....
and the beat goes on
Explanation: How often does an asteroid whiz by the Earth? The above time-lapse animation follows the orbit of the Earth around the Sun for two months in 2002 as numerous asteroids, also known as minor planets, approach and pass by. Some asteroids appear out of nowhere as they are plotted only when they were discovered. Most asteroids plotted were discovered only during the previous year. Although none of the plotted objects came inside the orbit of our Moon, our Solar System is filled with objects as small as bits of sand, usually left by a comet, that appear as meteors as they streak into the Earth's atmosphere every day. The only objects displayed are those visible from Earth closer than 20 million kilometers, color coded by three-dimensional distance. In comparison, the Earth is a relatively small target having a radius of about 6,400 kilometers. One significant research area in modern astronomy involves trying to find the majority of asteroids that could pose a future collision threat with Earth.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
Multiple chances of strong to severe storms exists across the Ohio Valley through this period. The first threat will be this Tuesday and Wednesday. Large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and heavy rainfall are possible. We are in a risk for severe weather according to the Storm Prediction Center (SPC). I would agree with that forecast at this time.

We had our tornado disaster drill today at the Red Cross. Everything went great! I was impressed with the amount of leadership that our crew showed. If we have a disaster here then we will be just fine. Lot of work still to do though. :)
A tornado hit Reidland damaging or destroying fifty houses. We had around 40 people in one shelter and more than 100 people impacted by the tornado. We fed over 800 per day. The disaster drill covered three days. Caesar was missing today and so that put me in charge. I had a SUPER team to work with! Again I was impressed with how everyone responded to the drill.
THE MAY 8th TORNADO - I guess my birthday was a disaster :) after all! There actually is a bit of irony in all of that...going back to 2003 and 04.

YAY we managed to miss the severe weather. The cloud cover helped us out. Tornadoes hit the Evansville area - we did fine though THANKFULLY! That was one big storm system - it could have been a rough one. Looks like scattered rain with some hail in the next few days.
POOR LUCY - she doesn't even know - but this is why we love you! lol
One of the Texas tornadoes left a scar on the ground below...rated F3

Meanwhile it is cold here. VERY windy. Winds have been gusting up to 45 mph for the last 24 hours.
