It's time to move on. We're having major problems here from the Irene and now the extensive water. Please get a grip and look around town to see how we can help those who need it.

I agree with you but also people are still recovering from the natural disasters that have occurred. I live in Staunton & we don't extensive water in our area.

We have one every thirty some years. However, we're having magnetical changes and could get them more frequently and more severe.

I am not sure what you are referring to in regards to 'magnetical', but the time frames you mentioned are relatively accurate. The following except is out of date, but accurate for our purposes here.

On 4/4/1974, a category 3 (max. wind speeds 158-206 mph) tornado 6.2 miles away from the Glade Spring town center killed one person and injured 4 people and caused between $50,000 and $500,000 in damages.

On 1/25/1975, a category 2 (max. wind speeds 113-157 mph) tornado 0.7 miles away from the town center injured 2 people and caused between $5000 and $50,000 in damages.

Expect more weather activity, not less...

Climate study, funded in part by the Koch Brothers, confirms global warming

http://www.csmonitor.com/Environment/2011/102...

The latest global warming results confirm those from earlier, independent studies by scientists at NASA and elsewhere that came under fire from skeptics in an episode known as 'climategate.'

The new research, which has yet to be formally published but which appears in four papers posted on BerkeleyEarth.org , uses new analytical techniques and a much larger set of records than the previous studies did.

Indeed, the new approach to analyzing temperatures records allowed the team to make use of partial and older records previous studies had rejected as unusable, explains Richard Muller, a physicist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who coordinated the effort.

In the end, the team's result shows that the earlier studies "were done carefully and that potential biases identified by climate-change skeptics did not seriously affect" the conclusions these studies reached, said Dr. Muller, who some climate activists have labeled a global-warming skeptic.

I had about 25,000.00 in damage to my car & home.That was my Birthday & was the worst day of the year.I hope we never have another even close to that.But this world has gotten so bad,I expect God will send more severe storms & it is only going to get worse.The Bible is fulfilling itself.I thank God that is all I had to happen, some lost their lives & homes completely, such a sad day.
