1. as I read the article it seems that it's the first because Seattle just

got added to the service? Record breaking heat for sure is not a good sign.

2. Weather patterns are shifting

all across the globe. I'm told by the powers-that-be that there's nothing to worry about.

Big Ben shut down for 90 minutes and they think it's because it was the hottest it's been since 1953....metal expansion and all.

Nothing to see here. Don't worry about a cause while the environment tries to kill you.

3. heavy storms in Texas and Florida

Has anyone noticed a string of very severe storms across Texas, La, Al and Florida the last few days? Probably just my imagination, but although I see serious thunderstorms, tornado watches, etc. reported here:

I can't find much news here:

Oh well, I'm sure it's just my imagination. No reason the Bushies would want to keep people from noticing that the weather seems to be GOING CRAZY right here in the red states . . .

4. They must be getting our storms

We usually get more tornadoes/thunderstorms in the Spring. But it's been pretty chilly here in Indiana. Storms are going south or get rerouted by the cool air or something.

Definitely some unusual weather patterns going on.
