   This was emailed to me so sorry if this is an old pic that's been floating around the email world. I just thought it was really spectacular! Here's the text that came with it: Awesome.... night time photo of Lightning and Tornado This is a spectacular "Night" picture of the Tornado that went thru portions of Sedalia, MO on March 10, 2006. If it hadn't been for the Lightning at the same time as the pic was shot, you would never have seen the massive tornado funnel already on the ground. When you hear a nighttime tornado warning for your area, take cover because most of the time you will never see it coming.

   After a very heat July the first 4 day's of august are very wet for here. Some parts of the netherlands have got 150 mm/5.90 Inch of rain, and that in 4 day's. Normally there fell in the hole month august 60 mm/2.36 inch of rain, so this gonna be a very wet month. I recorded in my own garden so far 97 mm/ 3.81 inch of rain. Because the heat the ground is closed en hard, so the rain comes so much in a short period the rain can't directly go into the ground, you get little floodings on the streets gardens and houses. The picture's are from a part in the east of the netherlands. Also the last few days there are some water tornado's, i don't know how you called them. Be…

   Hi, Today it's very hot ... it's almost 34 C now (93F), tomorrow it's gonna be unsually hot the sya for the netherlands, the expect 37C (98F). For so far, it's a very hot,sunny and dry summer ! This month we don't have got anay rain yet, also june was dry with 3 day's that we have got some little rain. If this means the world climate is chaning, then i like it very much ! But the farmers here not, they can't give water tot the crops, because every where the water level is to low .. sow a lot of crops is dying or see very yellow. Grassfield, turned totally brown, and tree's losing the leaves to survive ... My exotics love this weather ! Greetz robbin

   Crazy Weather

   Everywhere I've lived people say how crazy the weather is there. The recent heatwave has made me wonder what record high and low temps were in different places. So I looked up various cities on weather.com and found some places with pretty amazing gaps between record highs and record lows. These places have truly crazy weather. Each has at lease 160 Fahrenheit degrees between the record high and low. All but one are in central Alaska. 164--Chandalar Lake, Alaska: High 90F/32C Low -74F/-59C 162--North Pole, Alaska: High 95F/35C Low -67F/-55C 161--Aberdeen, South Dakota: High 115F/46C Low -46F/-43C 160--Fairbanks, Alaska High 94F/34C Low -66F/-54F Brok…

   Howdyall: Tropical Storm Chris is going to whack the Bahamas, which, if my memory serves, puts it at least a bit in line to hit our cherished colleagues in South Florida, as things stand now. It could strengthen into a 'Cane fast, and not sugar. Hmm. Maybe Dr. Robert can pin a sign-off place, for those of you who must? Just a thought. Let the games begin . . . . . dave

   All those in CA understand what I'm going through... This week 112, 113, 114, over night lows upper 80s, recorded the highest overnight low in history @ 90 on Monday night and matched it on Tuesday. My plants are dying, even with daily drenchings... Tree ferns, in the shade fried, I mean brown-Fried, dried up and dead. The grass is loving it. Tropicals, hating it... Anyone else in weather trouble??? Can someone post a picture of snow, just to make me feel cooler?

    Min/Max Thermometer

    There was a great thread in the old forum about min/max thermometers, but I don’t recall which ones were recommended or which features people liked best. I would like to purchase about 30 thermometers for our society members to determine minimum temperatures around the New Orleans area this winter. I don't want to spend too much money, but I don't want to buy crap either. Any recommendations? Kate

    Hi all, This was a reply I wrote to a personal message. I think it is a good time to discuss this as now is the time that we are planting new stuff and the placement now is crucial for long term survial during winter. The original question was regarding the zones in the area and I went off on a tagent. Please correct any fallicious info in here as I do not want to lead another new palm nut in the wrong direction! Hi Jeffrey, I would have to think the part of Apollo Beach you are planning to live in is easily 10A except for winters like 1989 and 2003 which were advective freezes (windy) as opposed to radiational freezes which are much more common. The proximity to…

    Palms and heat.

    It's going to go well over 90 today. An unusual long heat wave for the bay area,maybe 5 -6 days instead of the usual 3....I can't believe how the Bottle palm i bought three weeks ago from a dark indoor nursery has adapted to full blazing sun-with a spear opening. When i bought it and repotted, most of the large roots were rotting from the dark and the fronds were a pale green for a bottle. Tough palm for hot areas. Same story for the Lowes Bismarckia..on its second frond. Shockingly fast. I have it in the hottest area possible for me and it loooves it. It's going to make a great large potted plant.I would be happy with a 8' spread in a eventual 36-48" pot outdoors. That's…
