March 2, 2012:  Four years ago today

Henryville, Indiana

The March Lion was in full force that Friday afternoon

The small town was put on the map by an EF4 tornado

One of the hardest hit places was the Henryville School district, where there was plenty of carnage.

Miraculously, everyone in the school building survived.

Along the length of the entire path, eleven people died.

Why does this little town attract me?
In the Weather Channel series "Tornado Alley," (the first few minutes of the documentary) storm chasers are driving along rolling hills as the tornado heads for Henryville.  The bridge coming from Louisville, KY into the Indiana state line also draws my attention to the scenery.  I went to school in a place with plenty of rolling hills and heavily forested (the piedmont of Virginia).

The below video focuses on Henryville, Indiana and the impacts of the March 2012 tornado

First snow of the season 1.4.16

Today, there were some snow flurries across Central Virginia...no wonder it was so cloudy and cold when it was forecasted to be mostly sunny.  I figured I would find pictures online for inspiration.

I was an aide for a group of special ed kids before break and already knew the kids were going crazy  during science class.  The teacher I worked with told me it was the "BEST SCIENCE CLASS EVER!" with all the snow coming down.

The flurries inspired me to put up this video by Tim Story and hopefully this will bring back childhood memories.

Imagine this being your scenery after the snow is done...in this case the flurry became snow showers accumulating on the grass and just in time to see the sunset.

Snow events that I thought about today?  snow event in February 2006 while I was in college (see below).
