The US had over 20 tornadoes today and quite a few deaths and lost a few small towns too - the WHOLE town in some cases . We are in a monster cold-snap here in SoCal . The Rose Parade will be lower than 50ºF/10ºC and that's problematic since there's no heaters allowed on the parade route this year . Right now it's 19ºF/-8ºC here and it was colder than that this morning . The high today was 34ºF/1 . 1ºC . But it's 78ºF/26ºC in the house with a roaring fire in the wood stove! Yummy with hot Dr Pepper and a cinnamon stick stick swirled in it .	SurferJoe46 (51)

1166152	2011-01-01 23:43:00	Yes a like button would be good ! Yes Aussies needs to be able to tip Queensland up to the right, so that the water all flows back into the centre of the country. Or they need to start building some aqaducts like the Romans did, or some major canals like the Chinese are. And yes SurferJoe I always feel sorry for the USA mid-west when they get all of those tornados EVERY year.	Digby (677)

These tornadoes are rare - it's the wrong season for them - this is Winter and they usually appear in Spring . The cold front that's hitting the Mexican up-current is the same cold front that came through here last week and gave us so much rain . This has been the wettest December in recent history . Right now we are in a cold snap that too, is very abnormal . My wife left a 30 octothorpe bag of ice on the porch by accident after she went shopping and it's still frozen two days later .

1166155	2011-01-02 03:24:00	I asked about Australia and obviously there isn't as much of a flood as the US news has said exists ther. Just filling space then .	SurferJoe46 (51)
1166156	2011-01-02 03:32:00	I asked about Australia and obviously there isn't as much of a flood as the US news has said exists ther . It has only affected 200,000 people, isolated or inundated 22 cities or towns and the water just covers an area bigger than France and Germany combined, so no, it's not much of a flood at all . :rolleyes: A lot of people will be spending weeks in community shelters waiting for flood waters to recede as their homes are under water . Meanwhile, we are still rocking and rolling with the earthquakes here in Christchurch, New Zealand, with more buildings and homes damaged with the Boxing Day shocks .	FoxyMX (5)
1166157	2011-01-02 04:01:00	I asked and got this: Queensland is wet. It is the wet part of Aussie, although not usually this wet. Other parts are about to be on fire again as usual in summer. ...and that doesn't sound too bad to me. It's normally wet there, although not this wet doesn't imply vast flooding and deaths and lost homes to me.	SurferJoe46 (51)
