It definitely must have been tropical as a push of warm air came there for a while.  That was nice!

91 tornadoes reported so far on the east coast

Sounded just like a tropical storm to me.

It is flooding now here in south central pa.  Just lines and lines of heavy rain have come through in the past several hours.

So far the U.S. has had many tornados in the past few weeks.  There seems to be an increase in tornados this year.

We were inundated for over 12 hours but the rains have finally slowed down, but we are under tornado watch until 9 pm EDT tonight.

And it's just the start of the tornado season, and very soon the hurricane season.

A lot of people died in that one storm and the season just started. My husband said he heard a tornado go over us. The wind is still blowing in at 20-30 miles per hour today. Death toll up to seven here in Arkansas now.
