Another violent storm has shaken my hometown. Trees on the median of the main road are flattened and shingles from my roof are torn away.
A tornado warning rocked us all tonight, causing hundreds of mallgoers to flock to the Panera where I work. We're the safest place in the mall, see, and we conveniently sell wonderful food...
But what did we do? We've had awful weather since the beginning of June. Storm after storm sends families into their basements and the rain just keeps pouring. Makes me wonder what the hell we simple humans could have done to deserve it.
Or maybe... Well, maybe we did nothing wrong. Maybe it's not a punishment.
Maybe it's just another unprovoked, unwarranted, unlucky event. As usual.

Storms have been a constant thing here in Hamilton too. We even got hail last weekend (hail, in June. I questioned it too).
Apparently there has been tornado warnings, but we always hear them too late, and I don't think my parents take it serious. Could be that the last tornado that happened on the mountain was years ago (actually, I think there was a funnel once maybe three or four years ago...).
Maybe its global warming? Everythings blamed on that these days. Who knew clouds could hold so much rain? I'm surprised we haven't been flooded over here (given, it would all run down the mountain to downtown, but still).
