tornado

Montana weather can be unpredictable, it's not too often that we have tornados here. So when it does happen, it's a huge deal and we should all be prepared.

Residents of the Mission Valley in Montana capture video of the rare event on Tuesday.

The Emergency Alert System was very busy on Sunday with warnings issued every few minutes for most counties in southwest Montana. Tornado activity was spotted in at least two counties.

On June 20th, 2010 I was driving to Great Falls and the weather was BAD. I had to pull over outside of Belt, MT due to heavy rain, unaware that Billings was actually experiencing a tornado.

The guy who filmed this may not be the smartest guy, but he got some great footage.  He had his camera rolling as the massive tornado struck Oklahoma this past week.  It shows just how big and damaging this weather event was.  Prayers continue to be with the people that were in its path...

If you're like me, you sit and stare at the news out of Oklahoma and wonder, what can I do to help.  The photo's and stories are devastating.  The thoughts are incomprehensible.  Kids, Families, Grandparents, Pets, Homes, Schools, Hospitals - gone forever...

This tornado video was taken this past Tuesday just outside Big Sandy, Montana.  Thank goodness no one was hurt!

People sometimes ask me what storms are like in my home state of North Dakota.  They have heard rumors and tales of nasty weather. Well, storms in ND are nasty.  When you see them coming, particularly in the summer - you take shelter pretty quickly...

Talk about your emotional reunion. Judy Pugh has one of the more heartwarming stories to emerge out of the devastating tornadoes which tore through Tuscaloosa, Alabama last month when her missing cat showed up while she was being interviewed for a story about having her home destroyed by the tornadoes.
