    The most terrifying part of night tornadoes is the fact that the darkness doesn’t allow you to know where it’s at, bear in mind due to thunder, rain and wind it sounds as if it’s all around you. This one was rain wrapped too making it even worse. RIP to all the souls who lost their lives that night. I hope they’re resting peacefully and they’re family gets support during this difficult time.

      The heated up atmosphere is jet fuel for these storms. This twister stayed on the ground for some 280 miles -- a record breaker. In hurricane Ida more people got killed in my state -- New Jersey -- then those who were expected to lose their lives in Louisiana. We even had a tornado that destroyed homes. We are in uncharted territory. There are no guarantees against a repeat and intensifying of these events. Do what you can to be safe. Avoid flood zones, etc. As far as I'm concerned, "Tornado Alley" is now practically anywhere. The claim is that it's shifting eastward.
