Global Warming compliments of your local oil companies. USA contribution 25% of the atmospheric CO2. Amazing.

And the USA is blessed with a president without a conscience. Money is all Bush understands. Well, he has bought the entire global community a fine mess to straighten out. Quote, year 2003, "There is no such thing as Global Warming and carbon dixoide could never be a toxic gas." Absolutely no conscience. None.
Kindly note the planet's affinity for 36 north latitude while the southern hemisphere is wildly shunting heat to Antarctica. What a mess.

Couple killed in tornado; more bad weather in forecast
Published: 3/12/2006 11:37:50 AM
ST. MARY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri woman says she had just enough time to rush her family into the basement after a tornado warning sounded.
Virginia Moore was lucky. Her house suffered only minor damage.
But a husband and wife weren't as lucky. They were killed when their pickup truck was blown off Highway 61 near St. Mary, about 80 miles south of St. Louis. Officials say a twister hurled the truck beneath a roadside propane tank.
Also near St. Mary, mobile homes were tossed about and a brick ranch house was split in half. Several people were injured.
Across the Mississippi River in Illinois, a tornado damaged several homes and businesses in the small town of Fults. One person was hurt.
More bad weather is in the forecast tonight. One meteorologist says it may even be worse than last night.

From Tribune staff and wire reports

Published March 13, 2006, 3:42 AM CST
Severe storms across the Midwest packed winds that knocked over airplanes, ripped roofs off homes and spawned tornadoes that killed three people.
In Illinois, a tornado caused widespread power outages and damage Sunday night to buildings on the south side of Springfield, according to a dispatcher with the Sangamon County 911 center, but he could not say if anyone was seriously injured.

Tornado Tears Through Benton County
Homes Destroyed in Bentonville
Ty Hampton carries a dog named "Dixie" belonging to his sister, Cara Conly, and brother-in-law, Clay Conly, out of their house Sunday, March 12, 2006, in the College Place subdivision in Bentonville. The Conly's home was one of several in the subdivision that received heavy damage from a tornado Sunday. None of the Conlys were injured in the tornado.
The Morning News
A full moon and stars shone through clouds late Sunday night, only minutes after the same sky produced a large tornado that tore across Benton County, damaging buildings and homes.
The storm, which also brought large hail, strong straight wind and intense lightning, produced a twister that touched down near Gentry at 9:50 p.m. The storm then sped across the county at nearly 45 mph, damaging homes and buildings in Centerton, Bentonville, Little Flock and Avoca before moving off through Carroll County and into Missouri.
In all, the storm lasted 45 minutes in Benton County. There was at least one confirmed injury at press time.

With tornado season here, Tuesday drill will remind us
By Phillip O'Connor
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
03/12/2006
After a year when weather patterns often dominated the nation's attention, Missouri and Illinois residents now have something new to look forward to climate-wise.
Tornado season.
On Tuesday afternoon, sirens will wail, schoolchildren will huddle in hallways and an electronic tone will be broadcast over television, radio and weather stations in Missouri. The annual springtime drill is designed to check emergency communication systems, but also to remind the public that we're entering a dangerous time of year.

Tornado confirmed in Branson
An F-0 tornado touched down around Branson on Saturday night downing trees and power lines, Doug Cramer, National Weather Service meteorologist, confirmed today.
The tornado crossed over into southern Stone County, too.
A survey team is assessing the damage and will have more information this evening. Cramer did not know of any injuries caused by the tornado.
There were reports of damage caused by golf-ball size hail driven by winds in excess of 70 miles an hour, Cramer said.
?There were several people who experienced large hail that was driven into the siding of their homes,? Cramer said. ?Whenever you get hail that large and it?s driven by strong winds it makes it even more destructive, and that?s what was tearing up the homes.?
More severe weather is expected today.
?There?s a potential for more development into Southwest Missouri today,? Cramer said.
The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch in effect until 10 p.m. for the following counties in the area: Barry, Barton, Cedar, Christian, Dade, Dallas, Douglas, Greene, Jasper, Laclede, Lawrence, McDonald, Newton, Ozark, Polk, Stone, Taney, Vernon, Webster and Wright.

The 'Rule of the Day' REMAINS 36 North Latitude. (click on to animate.)
March 13, 2006.
Kindly note the extremely similar appearence of the two 'systems' on the right of this image.
They are both vortices. One is over the Atlantic and the current weather system causing so much turbulence on the ground is over the Eastern USA.
That is somthing you won't hear from the national weather service.

Infrared GOES East Satellite.
Quite a rather huge troposphereic tornado. Literally. The turbulence on the ground extends extremely high into the troposphere. This is not a first. There have been other such occurences but they have been over the oceans. One occurred last fall. It's here on the blog somewhere.

The air mass moving north can been seen here off the Mid-Pacific.
The southern hemisphere is just a mess. All that heat off the equator heading south is what is contributing to the Antarctica melt.
And Bush wants to talk, in series, about Iraq. "W"rong. A series of discussions should commence regarding Global Warming and Climate Change.
March 13, 2006. West Pacific Satellite. This is the equatorial region where the trubulent front causing chronic tornadoes ends. The heat movement off the equator south into Antarctica is huge. The solar radiation, of course is moving north above the equator and hence greater stability in the northern troposphere.
It's rather hot, but that is due to surface temperatures caused by equatorial heat delivery.
