Tornado season has started in a big and tragic way in the last 48 hours. Harrisburg, Illinois was decimated by a twister on Wednesday. Today, tornadoes hit Alabama and the southeast, including a prison in Alabama.
Tornado season is also the start of storm-chasing season.
I recommend the website, Chaser TV, which is a directory of storm chasers by location, with links to their live video feeds.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
