Mother Nature’s not just PMSing... Take a hint

You know, there’s only so much that someone or something can take, let alone Mother Nature. The human race hasn’t been kind to her throughout our known existence. Take the recent Texas twisters.

Ron Krienitz on FaceBook shared the image above from The Weather Channel showing lightning surrounding a tornado as it touched down in Texas yesterday. The state saw 18 tornadoes, with as many as 13 raking the ground. The storm system that spun the Texas twisters is slowly moving east and expected to continue spreading havoc through Friday.

The 1996 movie Twister had fantastic visual effects, but I’ll bet downloads and rentals plummeted due to being able to witness “natural fury” firsthand.

Is the human race so self-centered and selfish (akin to the description of “locusts” from the also-1996 movie Independence Day) that we don’t see what’s happening RIGHT NOW to Mother Earth? How long can someone or something be abused before it turns on its attackers?

I know I’m not perfect. I’ve got a long way to go, but I do know how long it took me to wake up. How about you?
