Nashville tornado unleashed fireball that appeared to disrupt storm

The National Severe Storms Laboratory has weighed on in on this and concluded it’s a bad idea:

No one has tried to disrupt the tornado because the methods to do so could likely cause even more damage than the tornado. Detonating a nuclear bomb, for example, to disrupt a tornado would be even more deadly and destructive than the tornado itself. Lesser tactics (like deploying huge piles of dry ice or smaller conventional weaponry) would be too hard to get into the right place fast enough, and would likely not have enough impact to affect the tornado much anyway.

Christmas Day in NW Ohio and it's currently 58 degrees. I just found two Dandelions while doing some yard work. Normal should be in the mid 30s.

Time to stock-up and top-off all of the battery banks for power failures for the high winds down the river.

 

This AGW is going to kill us all!

 

Windy with a wintry mix of precipitation. High around 20F. Winds ENE at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip 100%. 3 to 5 inches of snow and ice expected.

Pretty mild here.

Heading to Vegas for the yearly winter trip in a week. Should be in the middle 60's that week, nice.

Not so bad snow wise, mainly power glitches from falling trees on lines. That why I have solar powered, redundant UPS systems in the house.

Time to start the grill.

 

It got down to 80 today.

I'm shivering my butt off out here by my pool.

I'd rather have cold and snow than live in Florida.
