Mother Nature has been doing a good job of reminding us who's really in charge. This spring has been one of the most active on record for tornadoes and severe storms. I live in Kansas City, and am no stranger to severe weather. Strangely enough we Kansas Citians been largely spared the worst of the weather this year (so far). But like many of us, I have friends and loved ones all over the country and severe weather anywhere immediately makes me wonder who I know nearby and whether or not they are OK. The deadly tornadoes that recently struck much of the Southeast had me thinking about my industry colleagues in Huntsville, Alabama. I was relieved to hear that all are well despite being too close to much of the action.
