God is coming and boy is she pissed!

So today was supposed to be a great day with a chance of rain, 30% "they" said. Lemme break it to you non-St. Louisans; when "they" (the liars called Meteorologists) call for 30% chance of rain, it'll rain. 80% chance? No rain. We only get 100% when there's a storm(s) on the horizon or it's already raining. At 30%, you'll see a St. Louisan with an umbrella handy. Granted when the sky is green, the rain is coming down in waves and sheets and you can't see across the street, there's hail and a tree flying past, you'll tend to see one of us nuts out on the porch or front step watching. Tornado sirens going? We're right there. When the wind and rain stops suddenly, we run inside.

Lovely little phenomenon ain't it?

*pause to sip late night Pepsi*

But that slight chance today turned into Hell! We got winds, rain like a lake was dropped on us, hail and some possible tornadoes! 1 person was killed and over 100 injured at a local bar when a tent got caught in the wind and pushed it into a railroad bridge! The Hubby and I missed a flash flood on a local interstate by 5 minutes and we got out of the hail storm by the skin of our teeth! I fishtailed that car into a gas station and was under cover! That sky went from dark as Hell to green as it can be! The wind hit so hard I swear the car moved and I looked over at The Hubby and just said "Run" and we hightailed it into the station and watched from a window!
Thankfully no tornado or damage to the station, but down the street, some friends where at a grocery store and the management moved everyone into the back and took cover. We don't play! The Good Friday Tornado of 2011 retaught us that one. Thankfully not one person died that day, we call it The Good Friday Miracle. However, one of the 4 tornadoes (an EF2-4, depending on where it was while it traveled) ripped through two counties on the Missouri side of The Mississippi and another county in Illinois. One twister! All while tearing up our airport and leveling several neighborhoods and flipping semi's on the highways. But not one person died, not one! However, I doubt Mama Nature will allow that again. You don't get too many chances during a tornado much less a free pass.

But I'm thinking that this is just the start. We done pissed off Mama Nature with this whole Global Warming. Now look, it is part of the natural cycle of Earth, no doubt there. However, you gotta admit that we Humans aren't helping either. But that's alright, cuz Mama gonna win. We, as a species, are not separate from Her, we are a part of Her and She's gonna remind us of that sooner rather than later.

Until then, y'all gotta duck and cover, bob and weave. Stay outta Her way and She may just leave you be.
