February, March & May 2017 (What Happened to April?)

2-19-2017:  Sinkholes in California, swallowing cars; wind gusts up to 60 mph… rain coming all the way from Hawaii hit Southern California last night and is headed up the coast to Northern California tomorrow; up to 80 inches of snow possible in the Sierras.  A tornado in San Antonio, TX destroys or damages more than 100 homes.  Somehow only five injuries!

*Kim Jung Nam, the half brother of North Korea’s leader, Kim Jung Il, was assassinated  2-18-2017… by a woman, who put a cloth over his face for only seconds, poisoning him!  Wow.

02-20-2017: INTERESTING FACT… today is the anniversary of John Glen’s first orbital flight around the world.

2-28-2017: One person killed in Illinois and one in Missouri, when a tornado picked up cars from a junkyard and slammed them into other cars on Interstate 55;  two dozen tornados so far.  CRAZY!

2-10-2017:  The massive storm, now over the far North-East, now drops as much as six inches of snow from Ohio to Connecticut.  Born in the mid-west, this storm now threatens nine states with up to and winds over 110 mph.  Golf ball sized hail fell across the mid-west and half a million people are without power right now.

3-14-2017:  tens of 1000s wout power from VA to NE …”thundersnow” 4” an hour, cars buried, chain reaction crashes 80mph gusts MASS – Penn 1’ of snow and freezing rain

3-27:  In Texas, Tennesee, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Mississippi, tornados raged…70 mph winds and hail; moving forward to east; 115 mph cyclone near austrailia too!

APRIL?  I'm not sure where this month went... I know it was WET though!

5-1-2017: 9 tornadoes touched down from Alabama to Virginia this past week. 

5-7-2017:  The French now have their elections in progress; today is election day.  They have a “far-right leader” (all be it a woman) running against a more conservative candidate, and even have a hacking incident of personal and professional emails, which they are suspecting the Russians may have had a hand in!  Sounds reminiscent of our own 2016 election; how ironic.  Obama has made an unprecedented endorsement of the conservative candidate to the French people.
