April

I have been taking weather observations for science, and and I found out that we have had a very warm and sunny April. Wonder what May will bring? This morning I read about the Thompson Flood. Floods are hard to predict sometimes. The reason there were so many deaths was because people in the canyon didn't listen to the warnings. They thought that flood waters rose slowly. They were wrong. The water rose quicker than they thought. The flood waters slam cars against rocks. people that were in their cars had little chance of surviving. Those that survived, climbed up the side of the canyon to be rescued in the morning. Next time there is a flood warning, do what they say, and follow their instructions. You'll be glad you did in the end.

Yazoo Missisipi Tornado

Saturday, April 24 th in the morning, a Tornadic supercell hits tallilulah port. A tornado develops and starts to head towards Yazoo city, thirteen counties away. Suprising, the tornado lasted all the way over to there, destroying about half of the town. The tornado got up to about 3\4 of a mile wide. 10 people so far are dead. So far people think the strongest the tornado got is about an EF4.

Easter

What a busy Easter! We left the house just a little past 9:30am. Dad was dropping us off at the front of St. Anne's church so that he could find a parking spot, and so that we wouldn't have to walk a long way. All of a sudden I heard a big crash and brakes screeching. I turned around and saw two trucks had wrecked into each other. Both cars were making a turn. Luckily nobody was hurt. Just a little shaken.
