A close friend of mine and regular user of my computer 🙁 came to NZ from the States because of tornados wiping out her 2 homes in Florida. We’ve just spent a few harrowing days online trying to find one person in Joplin – with some relief we heard from that person this morning. I might add that is not as harrowing as looking for 25 people as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and another 25 in the Asian tsunami. Whatever, I look forward to getting reports on the US weather.

Yes indeed. I have a number of friends living in America, so I am always interested to know about such weather disasters in their part of the world.

Hi team,
I do find them useful as they can be different articles/videos to the ones I’ve seen via other means. I follow Reed Timmer from the Storm Chasers TV show on Facebook and subscribe to his youtube channel, so I get his daily tornado videos but they aren’t always the same ones that you link to. So keep it up!
