August 26, 2016: Don't mess with Mother Nature

I think the first time I truly realized how powerful nature was was during the Great Flood of 1993. I watched houses get carried away by the Mississippi River near St. Louis. Not mobile homes...houses.

As I'm trying to get familiar with Detroit, I learned of tornadoes that touched down in nearby Windsor, ON on Wednesday. No one was killed and there were few injuries. But you look at photos like this, where Mother Nature just laughs at what we try to put in her way...pretty crazy stuff.

Stories here and here.
