A stalled frontal boundary (click here) continues to bring flooding rain, severe storms, freezing rain and snow from Texas to Michigan. More than 5 inches of rain has been reported in parts of Midwest over the last 24 hours sending many rivers into major flooding....

Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2018. The area is under a winter weather advisory. 

The National Weather Service (click here) now says it was three tornadoes that hit North Texas.

It says two of the twisters struck early Tuesday in a rural area near Joshua, destroying at least two mobile homes and severely damaging several others. A mother and her disabled daughter were injured when one tornado demolished their mobile home.

The third tornado struck a short time later in the Dallas suburb of DeSoto. No injuries were reported there.

The weather service says all three tornadoes were weak EF0 ones with winds ranging from 65 to 85 mph (105 to 137 kph).

After the tornadoes came the rain. Up to 4? inches of it fell in the Dallas-Fort Worth area by 8 p.m. Tuesday, causing some flooding....

It won't work.It is an added danger to children in the classroom and it takes time to unlock them.

There is nothing to stop an attack from outside either. The shooters can come with body armor, too.

That is the biggest problem with Republican leaders and legislators, they shoot from the hip with ideas that are populous, but, have no real effect.

US President Donald Trump (click here) has said arming teachers could prevent school shootings like that which left 17 people dead last week in Florida.

A staff member with a gun could end an attack "very quickly", he said.

Mr Trump floated the proposal - long-championed by the powerful NRA gun lobby - as emotional survivors of the 14 February massacre urged him to take measures to stop similar attacks.

The US leader called for improved background checks on gun buyers.

"It's not going to be talk like it's been in the past," he said....

There will be fatal incidents in the classroom because there was a gun present. Guns are turned against the owner, too. There is no answer besides gun control.

6/19/2017 - Guns (click here) are responsible for the death or injury of over 7,000 children in America each year. And child gun injuries and deaths may be even more prevalent in the United States than we realized.

Fatal incidents (click here) involving toddlers and guns, including a deadly shooting this week in Milwaukee, are far more common than you might think.

The latest victim was Patrice Price, a 26-year-old Milwaukee mother, who was killed when her 2-year-old son fired a handgun he’d found in the backseat of a car. Officials say the .40-caliber gun apparently slid out from underneath the driver’s seat as Price drove her boyfriend’s car, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The toddler then picked up the gun and fired it, hitting his mother in the back.

The boy was the 77th child to fire a gun accidentally and harm someone in the U.S. so far this year, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control advocacy group. That number includes children age 17 and younger....
