    Flat earth believers.

    I have come to believe (I have no letters behind my name) that some people feel better about themselves by being condescending to those who don't think like them. In my 60 years I've seen the fluidity of science, the manipulation of history, and incongruity of human philosophy. For the last 20...

    Derecho - never knew what it was, and now I've lived through it

    This 60 yr old Iowan had never heard of this type of storm. I was in downtown Omaha when it went through. The shelf cloud was very defined and dark. It only lasted about 10 minutes in Omaha.
