This week parts of the southern United States experienced tornadic storms that left a path of destruction. There is an old saying that storms can be "good sleeping weather." However, I know that nocturnal tornadic storms can be particularly dangerous. I am guessing that some people, though under a tornado watch, declared it "good sleeping weather" and turned in for the evening. Nocturnal tornadic storms take a particular toll on vulnerable populations and housing structures in the American South.
