    Earlier today, I mislaid something and went to the security office of the building to see if anything had been turned in. It was late in the afternoon, and when I stepped through the door, I noted the big EVACUATION map plan on the wall, the bank of Matrix-like security monitors, another computer monitor that was partly visible but mostly turned away from public view, and the very large, very sweaty, very sound asleep security guard nodding off in front of the displays.

Doppler radar velocity measurements identified tornadic rotation around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday afternoon in northern Kane County. A flurry of funnel reports ensued from Maple Park to Schaumburg, prompting the activation of tornado sirens.

    Deadly Percussion

    mullentown » Blog Archive » Hard as Coal Did you all see this guy this morning during his rant outside the Crandall Canyon coal mine disaster?The screaming bald guy would be Robert Murray, president and CEO of Murray Energy Corp., of Cleveland, Ohio. I didn’t get to see him on live TV today, but did listen on the car radio to 90 percent of his news conference in Huntington, Utah.
