On Friday night, the Weather Channel online (on my CrackBerry) said that we were under a tornado warning, and that one would be in our area at 9:17.

They nailed it. At 9:17, the sound of the rain gave way to a gosh-awful noise, and the lights went out.

That’s the good news: we got hit with a tornado when they said we would.

good news for drought-stricken areas).

El Nino is the periodic warming of central and eastern tropical
Pacific waters. It occurs on average every two to five years and
typically lasts about 12 months. Weekly eastern equatorial Pacific sea
surface temperatures were at least 1.0 degree C above average at the
end of June, scientists said. The most recent El Nino occurred in 2006.
