Tornado - Blog Posts

I HATE MY LOCAL WEATHER.

there was zero need for my neighborhood to get so much hail yesterday oh my lawdy. AND THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE ANOTHER STORM HAPPENING NEXT MONDAY.

i cannot stand those ppl on tt who're like "3 MONTHS UNTIL TORNADO SEASON WOOOO" no. let's not! ☺️ ppl lose their homes and even their lives to those things and you're... excited for that??? like.. what??

Tornado season actually makes me want to crash out - I live in the Southern US, and for my state, 'tornado season' is March to June.

We already had a tornado a few weeks ago (like, 2 weeks tops). Then we had thunderstorms and a tornado risk LAST WEEKEND, and now, we have a freaking tornado watch AGAIN, AND FLOOD WATCHES (probably soon to be warnings) UNTIL *SUNDAY*

Oh the joys of ol' 'tornado alley'

It's been raining here in Oklahoma for over 26 hours, we are under a tornado warning too. Stay safe y'all 🙏🙏

Update: We are totally fine, not sure about the neighboring cities though.

Do you think Tails would have nose art on the Tornado? What do you think it would be? Would he paint it himself or would he ask Amy to do it?

Cosmo art would make sense in the X universe but what about idw or modern?

Like classic ww era art was usually pinup so probably not that but there are so many good options

Like the two hurricanes hunters planes are named Kermit and Miss Piggy and even have nose art if them

Tornado Recovery Underway at Michoud Assembly Facility

Teams at our Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans worked overnight and are continuing Wednesday with assessment and recovery efforts following a tornado strike at the facility Tuesday at 11:25 a.m. CST. All 3,500 employees at the facility have been accounted for, with five sustaining minor injuries.

Teams worked through the night on temporary repairs to secure the perimeter fencing and provide access for the essential personnel through the main gate. Approximately 40 to 50 percent of the buildings at Michoud have some kind of damage; about five buildings have some form of severe damage.

Approximately 200 parked cars were damaged, and there was damage to roads and other areas near Michoud.

“The entire NASA family pulls together during good times and bad, and the teams at the Michoud Assembly Facility are working diligently to recover from the severe weather that swept through New Orleans Tuesday and damaged the facility,” said acting NASA Administrator Robert Lightfoot. “We are thankful for the safety of all the NASA employees and workers of onsite tenant organizations, and we are inspired by the resilience of Michoud as we continue to assess the facility’s status.”

Teams will reassess the condition of the Vertical Assembly Center (VAC), as the initial examination revealed some electrical damage to its substation. The VAC is used to weld all major pieces of hardware for the core stage of the Space Launch System. The most recently welded part was removed from the facility last week.

The team has prioritized completing the assessment at the site’s main manufacturing building for the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft flight hardware so power can be restored in phases and temporary protection put in place to shield hardware from any further inclement weather.
