Mother Nature's Power

Mother Nature can be pretty tough. For those of us that live in Wisconsin, she spits snow on us, freezes our butts off, teases us with summer, then spits more snow on us, then turns up the heat and humidity and then repeats her torture. However, a year’s worth of her torment is nothing compared to what she is capable of doing in a single moment.

I'm talking about the fury that can be unleashed by a natural disaster like a tsunami, hurricane, thunder storm, or tornado. It's almost twister season in Wisconsin but in the south they've already been hit. The tornadoes that hit Texas this week have left many with damaged homes and several injured. We've been told of the power of these natural disasters and seen animated recreations in movies like "Twister" and "The Day After Tomorrow." But this video from Dallas is truly startling. It looks like a miniature set with toy truck trailers flying about but this is the real thing. So next time you think Mother Nature is picking on us for a cold snowy day, be thankful and hope you never have to see this in your backyard.
