"In an unusual move, national weather forecasters have issued an early warning that conditions are ripe for violent tornadoes to rip through the Midwest this weekend.
According to a story by the Associated Press, the expected weekend storms will stretch from Texas to Minnesota and could be a "high-end, life threatening event."
People in this area are still horrified when the sky becomes cloudy or dark clouds move in. With the weather forecasters predicting bad weather, it really puts the fear in people. If Joplin would have had the prediction of the bad weather and storms, like we are getting now. Things would have been very different. People would not have lost their lives, homes may have still been destroyed, but people would have been prepared. We would have known what to "expect" or at least be able to get to safety.
According to the article," the warning issued Friday covers parts of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas."
"The Storm Prediction Center advises residents in those areas should be aware of warnings and alerts and seek shelter in a safe place should severe weather hit."
So everyone stay safe this weekend.
I know several people who lost everything last year. They are all terrified now. I also know alot of people who didn't lose anything yet they are still scared. In a way the tornado was a good thing bc now people should take more caution in the future.
