Brutal Storms

Severe storms are ripping through parts of the South, leaving at least 31 people dead and damaging an untold number of homes and businesses, authorities said.

At least 25 people have died across Alabama, Emergency Management Director Art Faulkner said.

Video showed a massive funnel cloud darkening the sky in Tuscaloosa. "It literally obliterated blocks and blocks of the city," Mayor Walter Maddox said.

Even as officials assess the damage, forecasters said more powerful storms are moving east and threatening parts of Georgia and eastern Tennessee. Ref. CNN

April is going to go down in history this year as one of the most violent months when it comes to killer tornadoes that have hit multiple times across many of the states. It is interesting that the stationary front that has been sitting in the same place for the past week is causing more and more damage over the same areas. I would hope that it moves out of the upper plains and clears out the storms so people can pick up the pieces.

The death toll is quickly approaching the 300 mark. I have the feeling that this total will make it over the 300 mark making yesterdays storms one of the deadliest months in recorded history. I think we will see more storms like this in the next few months. Makes you wonder what the hurricane season is going to be like.

Its been horrifying! What's crazy about this too is many of the new tornadoes are touching down on the same areas already devastated so you get hit once today and then the next day you are hit again by another tornado!

Levee Problems

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers begins explosions on a levee at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.

This marked the start of a three-stage process to intentionally breach the levee to alleviate pressure caused by historically high water levels in the rivers, paving the way for 130,000 acres of Missouri farmland to be flooded. Ref. CNN
