10. People in Iowa should know better.

It is farm country. It is farm country where I live, too. This is very bad for agriculture.

Yesterday, at my home in Northern Illinois, a tornado passed right over my house. It did not touch down, but I knew something weird and scary was going on with the weather. The entire house shook. Also, it was 72 degrees!

I have a weather radio. It did not surprise me when it began warbling a tornado warning and told me to take cover immediately. Two of my adult children called also, within minutes of the warning.

This is not right. Last winter was too warm as well. I don't recall if we had tornado warnings, but this is not right.
