Oh, don't worry. Nuclear power plants are designed to withstand tornadoes. Of course, they're also designed to withstand earthquakes, and as long as the earthquakes aren't too severe, I'm sure they're fine. And, of course, there are never any big earthquakes in the South. At least, not anywhere near any nuclear power.

Reading about the devastation this morning, this paragraph from Tornadoes take staggering toll in Alabama and Deep South (video) - CSMonitor.com gave me pause:

"The National Weather Service office near Huntsville was briefly shuttered so employees could take cover in a steel room from an approaching storm. Tornadoes also struck the base of Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee tourist destination, felled the historic "graduation tree" at Berry College in Georgia, and forced the Tennessee Valley Authority to power down three Alabama nuclear plants."

Actually it was a double pause because I read its companion article first: 'Dixie Alley' as dangerous as the better-known Tornado Alley, say scientists - CSMonitor.com.

Just one more thing to add to the circle of concern that is 99.9% outside my circle of influence which is why I try to avoid most news stories.

Central VA had tornado warnings, too. It was probably a ploy by Jesus to prevent us heathens from witnessing his 2nd coming.

Wow. This looks dangerous.

We had our second April blizzard, 20 mph winds and of course everything is white again.

Tomorrow supposed to be in the 60's.
