For Episode 148 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS, we will talk about last week's historic tornadic outbreak that affected the City of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. Not only will we talk about the events that spanned 2 days, this episode serves as a warning to those who think that the Chicago area is unaffected by the possibility of tornadoes. The fact is that Chicagoland is actually sitting in the crosshairs of violent weather, and predictions point to the situation getting worse. Chicagoans don't have to be afraid, but they must be prepared.

BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF closes this episode out with an excerpt from THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ, by L. Frank Baum.
