than five hours (3 a.m.-7:45 a.m.) it rained more (1.09 inches) than it did during the entire month of April. Total rainfall on the last day of May was 1.52 inches. This gave us 4.89 inches for the month. April and May...what a contrast.
As we approach summer, it would be well for all of us (even those not particularly interested in weather) to realize that severe weather conditions can strike anywhere.
Recording weather data (rainfall, snowfall, temperatures, etc.) can be fun and interesting. But there’s another side to weather that people often ignore and that is weather of the severe type. Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, hail and strong winds that are not of hurricane force are included.
Most recently, people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Canada experienced first hand death and destruction brought on by severe (tornadoes) weather. Too often we feel that really bad weather happens somewhere else. Undoubtedly, that’s what some of those in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Canada thought.
There are many precautions which can be taken to reduce or even avoid disaster during severe weather. The most important thing is to have an awareness of weather conditions in and around your area. Weather that necessitates watch alerts or warnings will have meteorologists or other announcers on radio and television broadcasting these warnings. When they are given, take them seriously.
