We're not in Kansas, but Virginia thinks we are.

I've said before that Virginia is confused. This applies to food, dialects, cultures, education and weather.

In weather terms we get to experience a hodgepodge of everything. We get the occasional blizzard. We get hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, droughts, floods, ice storms, rain, wind, hail, you name it.

Take yesterday. At work I watched as 50-mph winds blew rain horizontally and pelted my car with marble-sized hail (no damage, thank God). Then I went home that evening and saw this beauty off my front porch. My first funnel cloud was in Virginia?? I've lived in Florida and Louisiana. I've spent numerous days on the beach watch thunderstorms roll in. And Virginia is the one that scares the pants off me with this cloud passing over my house. Crazy.
