For My Friends in the Tornado Zone
I’ve been watching the radar images (and video streams) today, and am hoping that my fly-fishing friends in the Mid-South and Southeast U.S. are doing okay dealing with what appears to be a tornado outbreak that could possibly rival the historic one of 1974. Some familiar fishing spots are under red or yellow in that one image above, as well as the homes of friends in that area (actually, considering the way the storm system has moved the last couple of days, the fishing spots and homes of friends extends all the way back into northern Arkansas).
Some of my old haunts back in Wisconsin got hit with tornadic storms earlier this month, but that outbreak was definitely not on the scale of this current one.
I hope that all ya’ll stay safe, and that your property and possessions come through OK (especially your driftboats and rod collections—we are fly-fishers after all).
