Apparently, the US Weather Service has been lulled to sleep by the long cool spell this Spring. Unfortunately, it may have taken the deaths of about 20 school children in Moore, Oklahoma to wake them up...

From what I could tell yesterday, there was ample warning from numerous outlets regarding the outbreak of severe weather. Yesterday's tragedy is due more to the violence of the storm than any perceived 'sleeping' on the part of NOAA. Nobody was asleep at the switch. It was just a horrible, horrible storm.

And I could be wrong about that! But our cold Spring, in my opinion, has pushed back when we have started to have severe weather.

The DrudgeReport.com noted about a month ago had very few tornadoes that the United States has had...
