Hold on to your hats!
It has been an unusually busy and early start to severe weather season, especially across the Ark-La-Tex, Mississippi River Valley, Tennessee Valley, and other parts of the Southeast.
These numbers are well above the historical average for these months and set a new record for the most number of tornadoes reported in the United States for the first 3 months of the year! Scientists are not exactly sure why more tornadoes are occurring outside of tornado alley more frequently, but this increase has led to more deaths as tornadoes are hitting more densely populated areas in the southeast. Many of these twisters are happening earlier in the year as well as outside of the typical peak of severe weather season. This just reiterates the thinking that you need to be ready for severe weather at any time of the year and in any part of the country.
The main threats for the Houston area will be some damaging wind gusts, hail, and heavy rain Thursday from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m. on Friday morning.

Orb weaver spider glue properties evolve faster than their glue genes, scientists findSpiders that don't weave good silk don't get to eat. The silk spiders produce to create their webs is key to their survival—but spiders live in many different places that require webs fine-tuned for local success. Scientists have now studied the glue that makes orb weaver spiders' webs sticky to understand how its material properties vary in different conditions.
