The forecast for Wednesday April 3, 1974 was for showers on the East coast and for thunderstorms across the Midwest. In the heavens, a storm of an overwhelming magnitude was forming. Children went to school, people went to work and lives went on as normal until the second worst storm of the 1900′s struck. Tornadoes broke across the heartland with such an intensity and frequency never seen before in the United States. Homes and schools destroyed. Loved ones lost. This site looks at the events of that day .This site is dedicated to the 315 people who lost their lives in this storm and to the over 5,000 people who were injured.

Ahh, yes…. that was a time when we were all almost at peace with Gaia ……. CO2 was at a mere 330 ppm and temps were about 1/2 degrees lower than today……. according to our dynamic temp record….. it may get lower or higher depending upon the need.
I Don’t bother with accuweather “climate centre” run by the famoso Brett who has lost al professional credibility as a meteorologist (if he actually is one), with me anyway since he started pumping the AGW real hard about 2 years ago. I never understood why WUWT classified the site as “lukewarmer” since it has become one of the more vociferous pro AGW sites.
