It seems to me, when I was growing up back in the last century, that there were frequent severe storms this time of year. By severe, I mean tornado warnings, hail, green skies, frequent news interruptions on TV, and then the resulting scurry of news crews to cover the damage.

The past few summers it's seemed pretty calm around here, even with the heat and humidity [[which seemed to bring storms) and then the nice cold fronts afterwards.

What say you?
