AMERICA - Weather, Tornado Transition Season?

"Deadly Tornadoes Symptomatic of Strong 'Transition Season' Weather" PBS Newshour 3/2/2012

Excerpt

RAY SUAREZ (Newshour): Tornadoes raked the Midwest and South today for the second time this week. At least three people were killed in Indiana, and towns in four states were hard-hit.

Throughout the day, sightings of funnel clouds, like this one in Alabama, kept coming. One of the worst hit late this afternoon, blasting two towns in Southern Indiana. A sheriff reported the town of Marysville, home to 1,900 people, was completely gone. And nearby Henryville was nearly as bad.

Other storms also caused damage north of Louisville, Ky., near Chattanooga, Tenn. and just outside Huntsville, Ala.

In Bradley County, Tenn., near Chattanooga, high winds tore down the wall of a hardware store and knocked over several tractor-trailers.
