Hail Storm on March 30, 2007. Camp Wood, Texas
A F4 tornado (winds up to 199 mph) struck Holly, CO on Wednesday, March 28, with only minutes notice. A lot of clean-up has already been done. In this photo, the floor of another home that was completely destroyed ended up in this home. Six homes were completedly destroyed, and at least 65 more were severely damaged, many more sustained some sort of damage. Several farms were also severly damaged or destroyed. A 29 year old mother of two was killed, and 11 more were injured seriously enough to be taken to the hospital.

Are u living in southern Belize? If so, welcome! We are always glad to see any new comments from the Caribbean area!
On the wind, it's usually fairly windy in the Bahamas at this time of year. I take it that's not the case where you are?
I'm sure there are some maps around that can give some clue as to why there have been heavy winds there.
Somebody remind me what causes those little "sun-ray" type clouds radiating out from the centre of the storm? For some reason I associate them with a storm that is getting ready to deepen and intensify.

April 2 (Bloomberg) -- An earthquake of magnitude 7.6 struck near the coast of the Solomon Islands, spurring a tsunami warning for Australia, Indonesia and South Pacific island nations.
The quake occurred at 7:39 a.m. Solomon Islands time, 45 kilometers (25 miles) south southeast of the coastal settlement of Gizo, in the New Georgia archipelago and 345 kilometers west northwest of the capital, Honiara, at a depth of 10 kilometers, the U.S. Geological Survey said in an e-mailed alert.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami alert for the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Nauru, Chuuk, New Caledonia, Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Australia and Indonesia.
Towns and villages were damaged in the Solomon Islands when a tsunami swept ashore, Agence France-Presse reported, citing an unidentified police official, who said there were no reports of casualties. The center said it received reports of a 15- centimeter high wave at Honiara.
The Solomon Islands, about 2,500 kilometers from the eastern coast of Australia, has a population of about 550,000 people and experiences frequent earth tremors and volcanic activity.
A tsunami watch extends to Fiji, Guam, New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan, Tonga and Samoa, the center said in an e- mailed statement.
``An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicenter within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours,'' the center said in an e-mailed statement. ``Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility.''
An aftershock of magnitude 6.7, also at a depth of 10 kilometers, hit 539 kilometers west northwest of Honiara at 7:47 a.m. Solomon Islands time, the USGS said on its Web site.

Google it. It happened tomorrow in the Solomons.
I am trying to think of a way to access previous blogs, because I know we talked about this last year. I just don't have a real idea of WHEN or what we called the things.
I think it was a West Pacific storm we were talking about then, too, though.
