March The Lion And Mud Rain

On Tuesday, the Coastal Bend got its fourth tornado this March (we and ours are all fine, thanks). This is highly unusual. Although tornadoes have happened here before - one hit the school I now teach at five years ago - we generally only get them if they come in hurricanes. It is North Texas that has the tornado alley reputation. This is seriously weird.

Weirder yet, Tuesday's weather also brought a rain of mud all over town. Although the severe weather was fairly limited in area, pretty much every car in town that was outside during the rain is now crusted over with mud. Is that weird or what? Strange times.
