Well I guess it was a good thing I had cleaned out the storm shelter 
(hardened room in the basement) two weeks ago ... We just spent about a 
half as a several super-cells passed. Tennis ball sized hail reported in 
neighboring county, and reports of funnel clouds/tornadoes less than 20 
miles from us. My first tornado so it was a little tense there for a 
bit, but we got lucky with this one. From what I understand Louisville 
got nailed. Global warming ... it's a fact!

I'm glad at least Brazil got no tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes or 
subzero temperatures.

In my city, Montréal, it's normal to have up to 3 quakes in a DAY! We 
have no less that 5 active faults crossing the city.
Then, they are mostly of magnitude <2, making them to weak to be felt.

-25 to -20°C is not that bad, as it's very dry and way more suportable 
than a mere -5°C... Just refrain from staying immobile for more than a 
minute or two. MUCH beter than 35°C and 85 to 99% humidity. Yes, we can 
have both in a year.
