CITY DAILY PHOTO JUNE THEME - CLIMATE

The climate in the American Midwest can be violent in the spring and summer. This photo was taken some years ago when my office was on the 23rd floor with a nearly unobstructed view to the south. Severe thunderstorms rolled through our area, spawning a few tornadoes. Here, one of them crosses the Mississippi River not far away. It did not quite touch down, avoiding severe damage.

BACK TO WORK

We just finished the three day Memorial Day weekend in the US. Many of us are having trouble getting getting back into the swing of work, perhaps including this man in the Annie Malone parade. It is already summertime hot here. There have been days of record-setting temperatures across much of the Southeast and severe tornadoes have been dancing around the Midwest, skipping us - so far.

Our family heads to New England in a week, where we expect things will be different. Could be downright chilly in the evening when we reach Down East Maine.
