Searchers hunted desperately for a 3-year-old boy in the wreckage of an Oklahoma tornado today as forecasters warned of yet another wave of severe weather that could trigger even more twisters for the hard hit region.
Fresh tornado strikes are predicted this afternoon and evening in portions of the mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys.

Conditions will be ripe for the formation of long-track, violent tornadoes in those areas, possibly bringing further devastation to the area, the National Weather Service said.
The death toll from the latest storms in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas rose to 14 today, while the National Weather Service reports that a tornado has "destroyed the full town" of Denning, Ark. Three people died in the hamlet whose population is approximately 270.
Ryan Hamil, a 3-year-old boy from hard-hit Piedmont, Okla., is unaccounted for as survivors dig through rubble caused by a tornado Tuesday evening. A dog team is looking for the toddler at his last known location on 248th Street and Sara Road in Piedmont.
Mayor Valerie Thomerson told ABC News Oklahoma City affiliate KOCO that the boy's home was destroyed and his mother and siblings were injured when a powerful tornado touched down Tuesday night. As many as 200 homes were damaged in the town of 3,650 people.
In Louisburg, Kan., Dan Goff was heading to pick up his daughter from school when his Ford pickup truck, which can weigh up to two tons, was tossed into the air like a matchcar.

"I noticed that the rain and the clouds above me were moving really fast. No rotation or anything that I saw. But then I started seeing debris, so I started slowing down. Next thing I knew, I was being toppled in the truck," Goff said told ABC News Kansas City affiliate KMBC. "I didn't even have time to really be scared."
The tornado held him and his truck in the air for five to ten seconds before slamming it back down to earth. Goff escaped virtually unharmed.
Rescue workers in Joplin continued the search for survivors in the rubble left by Sunday's massive EF-5 tornado that has left at least 124 in the city dead and leveled at least 30 percent of the town of approximately 50,000.

Twister debris searched; at least 280 dead - Weather - msnbc.com

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Survivors and rescuers combed through destroyed towns and neighborhoods on Thursday, looking for belongings and victims after dozens of tornadoes ripped through the South overnight. The death toll continued to climb in Alabama, and at least 280 people in six states perished in the deadliest outbreak in nearly 40 years.

Deadliest days

1. Nearly 300 people were killed in six states on April 27-28 in one of the deadliest series of tornadoes to hit the United States in recent decades. Here is a look at the deadliest tornado days in U.S. history:
   March 18, 1925: 747 people killed after tornadoes hit Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
   March 21, 1932: 332 killed, most of them in Alabama, following a wave of tornadoes across the Southeast.
   May 17, 1840: 317 died, nearly all of them in the city of Natchez, Miss., after tornadoes hit Louisiana and Mississippi.
   April 3, 1974: 310 killed in what is known as the "Super Outbreak" when 148 tornadoes rampaged across 13 states over a 24-hour period.
   May 27, 1896: 305 died when tornadoes hit Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky.
   Source: NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory

People in hard-hit Alabama surveyed flattened, debris-strewn neighborhoods and told of pulling bodies from rubble after the storms passed.
"We have neighborhoods that have been basically removed from the map," Tuscaloosa Mayor Walter Maddox said after surveying his city.
The death toll seems out of a bygone era — before Doppler radar and pinpoint satellite forecasts were around to warn communities of severe weather. Residents were told the tornadoes were coming up to 24 minutes ahead of time, but they were just too wide, too powerful and too locked onto populated areas to avoid a horrifying body count.
"These were the most intense super-cell thunderstorms that I think anybody who was out there forecasting has ever seen," said meteorologist Greg Carbin at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center.
"If you experienced a direct hit from one of these, you'd have to be in a reinforced room, storm shelter or underground" to survive, Carbin said.

BOONE'S CHAPEL, Ala. – Vicious storms and howling winds smacked the Deep South, killing at least seven people in Alabama including three family members whose homes were tossed into nearby woods.
In Alabama's Washington County, about 50 miles north of Mobile, a mother and her two children were among those killed, said state emergency management agency director Art Faulkner. One person was reported dead in Mississippi's Greene County.

Combined with earlier reported fatalities in Arkansas and Oklahoma, the confirmed death toll had risen to 17 by early Saturday — the nation's deadliest storm of the season.
Henley Hollon said Saturday that his 65-year-old brother, Willard Hollon, lived across the street from him in the Boone's Chapel community about 25 miles from Montgomery. Henley Hollon said Willard Hollon and Willard's two adult children, Steve and Cheryl, were killed when the storms roared through.
Henley Hollon said he had been watching the weather forecast on television — and thought the worst was over when the winds started to pick up.
"It got up real fast. The lights went out," he said. "We had to feel our way into the hall. It lasted less than a minute."
He then went outside to check on the limbs down in his yard and walked across the road to check on his brother.

Geologist: Shaking Wasnt Florida Earthquake - WFTV Orlando

Image via WikipediaI don't live here, but I did live closer to an Air Force Base that seemed to be testing engines all the time. They do sound a lot like this with ground movement type rumbling. Not sure this is the case. But I did think it to be worthy of placing up here on Today's World News and Info. 

Who knows, Maybe it was HAARP trying to make an Earthquake and it didn't work. lol.

http://www.wftv.com/countybycounty/27239681/detail.html
PALM COAST, Fla. -- Investigators are trying to solve a bizarre mystery in Flagler County. A wave of people called 911 around 9:30am Friday to report the ground shaking in Flagler County. The calls all came from the Hammock area of Palm Coast (see map).
However, people in the north Daytona area, as well as in Deltona and as far north as St. Augustine, said they felt it as well. Many people were worried that the shaking was an earthquake.The Emergency Management Office was on the phone all day trying to figure out the cause of the shaking. Residents said that buildings were shaking, and even a dispatcher in the county felt it happen."I live alone and I'm blind, and a while ago the house was shaking, do you happen to know?" a caller asked a 911 dispatcher."I'm not sure. We're actually getting quite a few calls about it now. We're having someone check it out, OK?" the dispatcher said.The 911 call was one of about a dozen calls that poured into Flagler County. An unexplained phenomenon, described as everything from a low rumble to a window shaking movement, rattled residents from St. Augustine to the Volusia County.

Confirmed: Tornado hits Tonopah

clipped from www.abc15.com TONOPAH, AZ - A tornado touched down in Tonopah Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. The storm cell that hit just west of the Valley caused massive damage to at least one Tonopah neighborhood, ripping apart homes, pulling roofs off their structures, and scattering debris across the ground. The Weather Service said Friday that a funnel cloud touched down briefly about 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the area of 335th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road in Tonopah, which is about 70 miles west of Phoenix. An image from ABC15.com user Jean Suttle (see attached image) shows what might be a funnel cloud in the distance. Suttle said her photo was taken Thursday afternoon from 374th Avenue and Roosevelt, not far from Tonopah. Tracy Deadman also sent in a photo that more clearly shows a funnel cloud. She wrote that she just happened to be taking pictures of the storm as it headed east toward her house in Tonopah. Watch Video

Storm Threat in Gulf Halts Most Work at Oil Spill Site

As many of us watch the News Media's and the way they continue to spread news. Others are going out finding out the Real news. Now compare this video with the News below. Make any sense to you?

clipped from www.nytimes.com The government said Thursday that BP’s oil well in the Gulf of Mexico would be left closed off and unattended if a storm that is headed for the area forced ships to evacuate. At the well site, 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, most work was halted Thursday as a newly formed tropical depression threatened to delay for a week or more the effort to permanently seal off the gusher. The National Weather Service said on Thursday that the tropical depression, the third so far in what is expected to be a busy hurricane season, had formed in the Bahamas. Its track was expected to run to the northwest into the Gulf of Mexico. A spokesman for the private weather service Accuweather said the storm would probably intensify and become a tropical storm, with winds of perhaps 50 miles per hour. It will probably reach the area of the well site late Saturday or early Sunday, the spokesman said.

Weather: May snow sets Utah spring record

A little more on Global Cooling.

clipped from www.sltrib.com Rain, snow and more rain fell along the Wasatch Front on Monday morning, setting a spring snow record at the airport. The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City changed its assessment of snow accumulation at the Salt Lake International Airport from a trace to 0.2 inches just after 9 a.m. That makes Monday the latest day in Utah recorded history when a measurable amount of snow fell at the airport. A measurable amount is anything over 0.1, said meteorologist Monica Traphagan. The previous record was on May 18, 1977, when half an inch fell, she said. The storm that came in Sunday evening dropped almost a half an inch of rain at the Salt Lake City International Airport overnight, with more rain expected throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service.
