I can see reporting on potential tornadoes as being important but on the other hand...
I've seen it locally and nationality, you have a storm and they make out it out to be like it's the end of civilization coming.

Those storms are coming through PA in a modified way ... I have suspected that population is hanging by a thread for many years.

I think most planting time is about over and more rain is forecast. Let's have a raffle to estimate the cost of grains/soy by the end of the summer. China will wish they had taken US corn instead of sanctioning it. People are just starting to wake up, the season is done as the rain is not.

Its wet pretty much everywhere. Where it flooded in Iowa, nebraska and other places early in the spring, if they planted anything at all it was likely beans. Now many places are getting flooded and filling the fields with water again. Corn might get a decent price in the fall but beans less likely. You heard it here!
Had tornadoes all around me yesterday. The closest was 5 miles and I happened to get a poor distant pic of it with my zoom on. It touched down on 3 farms but nobody hurt. 2 other tornadoes close by also. Seems like they were/are everywhere.
If you look and zoom on left side of pic above the trees, that is 5 miles away. I measured it today from the farms it hit. Probably an F1 going by the debris in the fields. Those clouds were really moving fast.

There was an F1 in 2 local areas in eastern PA the other day. One hit the campground I was in last fall, near Nockamixion Lake in Ottsville.

New breakthroughs in solar. Only the other day, our friends Nick and Cindy down the road (who have a large rooftop solar array) boasted that they were able to charge up both cellphones at one time using power from the sun.
Orion Dressage, a horse barn down the road, in the Pine Island Black Dirt region has horses standing knee deep in water. All drainage systems have failed big time. We may have to move them here .... The owners ... I hope they drown ... but that is another story.

berks county pa keeps getting hammered too. had at least three tornadoes touch down in the past few days.
not able to mow some of the yard because it is so wet.
little worried about future food shortages. already watching the prices of everything go up in the past few weeks.
i'm buying all the freeze dried meals i can find for a reasonable price. also have rice and beans in mylar bags in 5 gallon buckets with oxygen absorbers.
mre's taste fine but are constipating.

.. what a smart man. You get it and are paying attention ... the secret is to get it before the masses do. Forget the MRE and try Sams or Costco for good fresh dated freeze sized stuff but fresh local stuff is by far the best.little worried about future food shortages. already watching the prices of everything go up in the past few weeks.
Next CN forecast is a totally bitchen winter with all of this water the land is cooling. Once the Mississippi gets go... record floods and there has never been anything like it. Stay up to your ass in coal.
You hear everything first on this coal board.

i learned young.
my grandparents on my moms side were very close to me. nana and pop pop knew what it was like to go to bed hungry. and they were in the food service industry. my pop pop was a huckster and my nana worked at her parents country hotel. top it off my pop pop was a prisoner of war in germany......my nana and pop pop always had no less than 6 months of food on hand.
