It has been confirmed that a tornado touched down and marked a path of destruction through several New Hampshire towns a few weeks ago.  Then just a few days ago, flood waters killed a 7 year old girl when her family was trying to escape rising floodwaters in the town of Ashbury.  I know the owners of the Ames Brook Campground where the flooding occurred and my brother in law lives in Barnstead, a couple of doors down from where the tornado slammed trees through the roof of a house on a cross street.  And today again we are seeing wild and crazy weather.  My thoughts are with all the families affected by these powerful storms.  And I was upset because we lost Direct TV! 

Here is some video from the AP about the tornadoes of July 25, 2008:
