Tornadoes banned in paradise.

Never have I seen more dark foreboding clouds more frequently than in Sardinia. Amazing, I used to get prepared for stormy deluges. But it rarely happens. Those clouds are mostly bluff. Meant to scare visitors. The natives know better. They've been fooled all of their lives. They've caught on. One can still venture out without an umbrella. Because far more often than not, the clouds dissipate. Pass by. I suppose the locals have learned to read the clouds. As I am. Slowly. Back in Minnesota if I sighted such clouds, I'd prepare for a big blow. Maybe even a tornado. Not here. Never a tornado. Some high, fierce winds. But no tornado. Yes, the weather gods have banned tornadoes in paradise. --Jim Broede
