Extreme weather - we are experiencing it as I write this. Connecticut's governor told his state's residents, "Get out, before you can't." New Jersey's governor said, "Don't be stupid. Get out." That's about as ominous as it gets. Want information on what causes bad weather? Check out these titles at ELPL:
