ive had multiple dreams about the end of the world latley. 2 of them were the most vivid dreams ive ever had and the images i still had in my head after i woke up were things i couldnt even think to imagine had i not dreamed them. One was about tornadoes and i live in an downtown area and in my dream i remember alot of people died and the tornadoes had destroyed my city and i still had very real images in my head when i woke up of the ruined city. Then last night i dreamed that the moon was colliding with earth and i remember lookin out my window and seein the moon keep drawing closer as it got bigger and bigger eventually takin up the whole sky then destroying everthing i cant even really describe what it looked like i just have this VERY vivid image in my head and i feel like if i knew how to draw and could actually describe it better id make like a number one movie lol. but my question is why am i having theese dreams and why are they SO realistic to me? i can even feel the fear of loosing my life when i wake up cuz i never die ill always wake up right before i die

Personally I’m going with that disasters haven’t increased but in fact are being publicized more than they have in the past. For example, the tornadoes in Joplin and that was part of the record setting number of tornadoes earlier this year. The way i see it. by reporting more disasters this causes more people to believe the world will end next year (which of course it won’t, there’s no valid evidence) or in the next few years.

Here is how the dream went:

I was at the school gym, which was set up for a dance. A few girls walked up to me and asked me to dance. The way we acted with each other made me think that we were friends. Then, a guy walked up to me and almost immediately I said,"Sup bro!" and fist punched him. We danced with each other like we were best friends. I learned his name was Alex. Then, another guy walked up to me and hugged me. We went to the center when a slow dance came on, and danced with each other, very close, as if we were boyfriend and girlfriend. His name was Frank.
I went out into the hall where they held concessions to get a candybar. I thought I saw my favorite teacher from my old town walk down another hallway. I decided to see if She had come to visit me. I followed her. When I looked down that hallway, I saw my boyfriend kissing a girl, whom I think was my enemy. I ran down the hall crying. I see an image of me in Alex’s arms.
Then I see me in a tornado like figure, looking around. I change from a thirteen year old to what looks like a sixteen year old. I am in the back of the school, and a future form of Frank is in front of me. He asks me to the homecoming dance. I say no. He wraps his arms around me and pull me closer and asks again, in shock. I push him away and tell him to shove off. He grabs my arm and punches me in the face. Alex flys at him out of nowhere and pushes him against a wall. He punches him a couple of times, then the principle confronts Frank and I run into Alex’s arms again.
The next time I am at the homecoming dance. I am elected prom queen, and Alex the king. We slow dance for a bit. Then when I say something about who my true love could be. He scoffs and laughs. He tells me I have been obvlivious to the fact that he had liked me since 8th grade. I tell him he has been obvlivious to the same fact since last week, when I fought with Frank. We kiss each other, and I am in his arms again.
Heads up! I just moved to a small town.

I am trying to understand how to read radar, watch movies to understand things about tornadoes. But I don’t know how to tell what a hook is on radar, how to spot the main cloud or if clouds are roatings or just moving. Can some tell me how to learn about this stuff? I DID take a spotting class EARLY this year but I need to keep getting more and more knowledge. My dream is to become a storm chaser (NOT meterolagist) like Reed Timmer and his buddies. Thanks for your help.

There’s been no reports on a tornado in my area but we were having severe thunderstorms and there was a tornado touched down in the field next to my house. It had moved over a little onto my side yard, and picked up the trash can and there’s trash and bags all over my yard now. It was only on the ground for about 30 seconds, but it was still a tornado. There’s trees down everywhere from it. I looked at NOAA and there’s no reports on tornadoes in my area, how can I report the one I saw?

Hello Mums and dads!

Okay, i have a lovely 1 yr old daughter and she has become a little tornado!
During the day, she is under the care of my aunt ( not an old one :D ) there : i know , everybody love her to bits and i guess maybe this is why she has become a spoiled one. Everyday my uncle is buying her things or fruits etc etc and my cousin plays doll etc with her … always having the full attention she wants, My auntie, always by her side morning till afternoon….

SLEEP: recently she will not go to sleep even if drop dead tired and sleepy! she will fight her sleep and would play round the house, run here and there but would not be very joyful ( i guess due to her sleepiness). If i try to pick her up to sleep : she knows her room and knows when its dark and if i will start singing to her : she knows its sleep time and will start crying out loud and wont stop untill i let her go!!! this scares me and im super tired myself to allow her remain awake till 23hrs!! she usually sleeps at 20.30hrs max!! WHAT do i do? WHAT is worng with her?

BEHAVIOUR : Well, she is my princess yet i think she needs discipline. Or am i being a bad mum?
i mean, she knows what NO means but still when i tell her a firm NO , she just bends down her head and then will smile and then will scratch or pinch or bite or hit me!!!! She is SUPER active and always doing things which can hurt her : so when i say no, she cries out loud as if i have hit her!!!! Im scarred!!! Sometimes she really can be quiet, playing with her dolls or writting or reading with her dad…. I love this little tutti frutti girl!!!

DURING SLEEP: over one month i have realised that she has started to talk in her sleep…. sometimes funny to listen to but sometimes scarry because she i will move round the bed while still asleep and crying… im scared to wake her up and she wont go back to sleep..

I badly need advice because she is my only little princess and her dad love her to bits as well.
Please only good advise : nonsense comments/ troll / hurtful advise will all be reported!!!!

Ok, so I was near an airport today taking some photos on the landing aircraft and when an old BA 737-400 had passed over and had landed I many strange noises, where the air sounded as if it been fanned all over the place and sounded like a mini tornado. I believe it is to do with the engines and their circular movement, but perhaps with the wingtips (as can be seen by cold photos)? What is this? Thanks.

how the winds have a role in the hurricanes? where do hurricanes occur and what time of year? What types of clouds are in the hurricane the altitude and composition? Can you answer some of these questions?

I’m hearing bits and pieces about it but it all pretty much says Tulsa was intentionally built in between these big valleys to protect it from tornadoes. Does anyone know the story, or whether its even true?
And what would happen if a tornado formed within the valleys?
