Those who are unaware, on the night of Dec. 10th, a large tornado with some of the highest windspeeds ever recorded tore a path of destruction that spans over 200 miles, through four states. It's said that the tornado maintained its strength for about 3 hours. The last time such a tornado occurred was the Tri-State Tornado in 1925. Appropriately, this tornado is already being referred to by meteorologists as the Quad-State Tornado. The states affected are Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee, with a city in Kentucky being one of the worst hit. In that particular city, last I heard, the death toll was at 50 and expected to rise.

While I'm fascinated by storms like this and am eager to look over the data gathered from it, it's also a bit much. We're currently experiencing a global pandemic also not seen for about 100 years, an economic crisis that's shaping up to be one of the worst since the Great Depression, and now this tornado. It's absolutely insane. Maybe we need to sacrifice a goat or something? Go back to the old heathen ways? I'm willing to give it a shot!
