Blizzards and tornadoes are already storming through America's Rockies already in the beginning of October. Snow in October isn't that unheard of, but blizzards? I think it's becoming a huge concern. In the past 2 years, oceans slightly above and below the equator have been experiencing so much activity. The Gulf of Mexico has been so active this year, it's insane. As a result of this, a tropical storm known as "Karen" has formed and it is currently a bit far from Louisiana and Mississippi's shoreline. A handful of forecasters predict this will form into a very minor hurricane, but look at what happened with Irene; everyone thought it would be terrible and it wasn't as bad as people thought. And then, Sandy happened and nobody predicted it to be that devastating. Good news is that Karen is currently weakening and stalling off the Gulf.

It is confusing to logically think about how many damaging storms are taking place all at once. If any of you are in the path of the tropical storm which **might** form into a hurricane, my condolences -- same to people in the path of the widespread tornadoes and blizzards.
