What's with all these storms!?!

I know people continually talk about the end of the world "as we know it"...
The first time I heard about it was back in the 70's, from a co-worker. I didn't feel like there was any danger then- compared to now.
Our waters are contaminated; our fields and groves are destroyed. Villages and towns that supply either manpower or fuel or industry-are ruined. And it doesn't ebb, it continues.


A few years ago one of my nieces was in school at Ol Miss. She took this picture on her cell phone. Scary but nothing like the tornadoes caught today.
