Crazy Weather Around The World

France's skiing summer
Wow!  There has been some crazy, crazy weather around the world lately. Some places are struggling with terrible droughts while others are trying to defend themselves against heavy rains and tornadoes.

Oklahoma has had some devastating weather recently as it has been hit by a number of tornadoes in the last few weeks. A huge F5 tornado tore through the town killing 24 people! 11 Days later while rescuers were trying to save stranded people and supply aid, a supercell storm created a number of smaller tornadoes that ripped through the city destroying almost everything that was left standing after the last storm. Most buildings are damaged beyond repair. Due to the large amount of rain after the tornadoes there is also flooding to add to the disaster.

Europe is facing its own weather disasters. France is experiencing its coldest May since 1887. Ski resorts have opened their doors to holiday makers for the rare opportunity to experience a summer holiday, skiing. Italy is having a spring that consists of relentless rain and cold weather.

South Africa is also experiencing its own bizarre weather. Over the first weekend of June, Cape Town saw a torrent of heavy hail that swept over the Mother City blanketing it in a thick white ice.
