The year of peculiar weather continues. The entire Atlanta area is under a tornado watch and flash flood warnings have been issued. This means that all over the metro area the root systems of trees will be loosened and those trees will fall over onto houses, cars, and, occasionally, people. This has already been going on for a few weeks now. It is common in the summer time here when it rains very hard, very fast, sometimes for days on end. Normally it is too hot in July for there to be a real tornado threat, but the summer has been quite mild. I can remember long brutal summers here...day after day of triple digit temperatures and humidity to match. But it's been a while since we've had one of those.
So maybe on my way home from work tonight I'll be swept up in a tornado. After years of strange, forboding, occasionally apocalyptic tornado dreams, it seems only fitting.
