Kalamazoo, Michigan area is getting hit hard by tornadoes this evening.

When I first moved to eastern Ontario 25 years ago from the east coast, a relative pointed out some tall, puffy clouds on the horizon to me. "Those mean a heavy thunder storm later. And if the sky ever gets green, that means a tornado's possible."

Silly relative, I thought. Why would Ottawa ever get a tornado?

25 years later, I don't laugh so much anymore. Climate change brings these suckers further north now.
