re: #57 lawhawk

OT:

Severe storms are expected across the Central US and into the Southeast. Tornado outbreak possible, and damaging straight line winds likely as a front moves through ushering in colder air.

Areas affected: Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, northern Louisiana, southeastern Missouri, western Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee.

As these storms are likely to produce significant damage, sufficient enough to warrant disaster declarations, I can’t wait for their Congressional representatives in the House and Senate to get up and demand disaster aid right after they just got through voting against it for Sandy victims. Watch as they go into full pretzel logic mode about how they shouldn’t be constrained by offsetting cuts for their disaster aid, while demanding the same with Sandy aid and voting against because it didn’t have that provision. The hypocrisy and irony will be palpable.

And yes, I’m looking at the likes of John Cornyn and James Inhofe in particular.

This winter has had some wild weather swings throughout the midwest, to go with some record high temperatures. For example, when the swings have occurred around here, we get phenomena like hail followed by sleet and snow.
