They don't care about climate change and now, a hundred years of their pollution and irresponsibilty is causing unstable weather patterns all over the globe. Every "drill baby drill" Rethug who ever blocked any environmental measures should be charged as an accessory to murder for every weather related death.

4-ish a.m.= Tornado siren goes off/phone makes that loud annoying noise.
I fumble for my phone, squint at it, read the "take shelter now" message, eye the distance to the walk-in closet (reinforced storm shelter) and decide to take my chances...

We're fine here in Houston.
