June 29th in western VA was a real wake-up call. I've never seen a storm that frightened me, until then. We had another Derecho move through last Thursday evening, just not a severe... but it gained some serious strength by the time it hit NYC. Two of them in 27 days. Yeah, that's normal.

Severe weather is going to become the norm from here on out. We're going to have to move underground.
