No severe tornadoes hit the U.S. this May for first time on record Matthew Cappucci A large, destructive multi-vortex tornado tears through Selden, Kansas. (Matthew Cappucci) Not a single higher-end tornado touched down in the United States in May, a first on record. While the overall number of twisters was close to normal during the month, they were exclusively of the weaker or nonsevere variety, rated EF2 or lower on the 0 to 5 Enhanced Fujita scale for tornado damage. Severe tornadoes are considered those that reach EF3 strength or greater, corresponding to winds of 136 mph or greater. May’s tornadoes largely missed homes and structure, yielding relatively little impact and sparing the country of any tornado fatalities for the first time during the month since 2014. The U.S. avoided tornado fatalities in May

Happy New Year
On behalf of the board of directors and the entire staff at the council on aging I want to wish you all a happy and better New Year. I think everyone of us is on the same page that we are truly glad 2020 is over.
Hopefully sometime in the very near future we will have word on getting the vaccine. I’m sure our board of health will keep us informed.
