I once had a hardbound book entitled, “America’s Tornado Disaster.”

It had a red cloth cover with a map of the Midwest drawn in black on the front cover.

The book was published in 1920 and was about a tornado that stayed on the ground for hundreds of miles in the South and Midwest and killed 600 people.

This may seem insensitive, but tornados have always been in American lore.

Again I pray for all the victims of last nights tornado storm.

Personally, I would love to see a reporter ask Peppermint "Goebbels", when she states that last nights tragedy was caused by climate change, and asks her "was Dorothy Gale a victim of climate change" nearly a century ago.
