Sycamore in storm light

I'm posting this the Sunday after Arkansas and other southern states were hit by a swath of tornados. I took this photo, maybe the afternoon of that day, but the storms never bothered us here in the Northwest Arkansas.

 I read an interview with a lifelong rancher who said that warm winter weather always indicated storms and I worry with the increase in warm weather we could be seeing an increasing trend of longer storm seasons and perhaps bigger storms.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Atkins, AR and the other places who lost their trees and people who lost homes, pets and, most tragically, their loved ones.
