Big March storm fans #wildfires and flips trucks as forecasters fear weekend #tornado outbreak

"Tornadoes likely amid storm outbreak

"The Storm Prediction Center said fast-moving storms could spawn twisters and hail as large as baseballs Friday, but the greatest threat would come from straight-line winds near or exceeding hurricane force, with gusts of 100 mph (160 kph) possible.

"A #TornadoWatch was issued until 11 p.m. for central and eastern #Missouri, including St. Louis, as well as parts of #Illinois and #Arkansas.

"The National Weather Service said it observed an evening tornado in the south-central Missouri city of #Grovespring.

"Other areas at risk included parts of #Iowa, #Kentucky, #Tennessee and #Mississippi.

"About 47 million people faced an enhanced to moderate severe storm threat from Madison, #Wisconsin, to Birmingham, #Alabama.

"Forecasters grew increasingly worried that intense thunderstorms farther south will likely bring an even greater tornado threat Saturday.

"The Storm Prediction Center said parts of #Mississippi including Jackson and Hattiesburg and areas of #Alabama including Birmingham and Tuscaloosa will be at a high risk. Severe storms and tornadoes are also possible across eastern #Louisiana, western #Georgia, central #Tennessee and the western #Florida Panhandle.

"'We have a lot of confidence that we most likely will have a tornado outbreak tomorrow,' Storm Prediction Center meteorologist Evan Bentley said in an online briefing."

Group proposes alternative idea to highway with 'urban boulevards' for I-71/75 corridor through #NorthernKentucky neighborhoods and into #Cincinnati instead of the Brent Spence Corridor Project, a $3.6 billion plan that includes widening I-71/75 to 16 lanes.

They want through traffic to use alternative routes and transform 1-71/75 into an urban, transit boulevard, rebuilding the highway to expand greenspace and tree cover, reconnect neighborhoods, create space for affordable housing, grocery stores, and local businesses, improve air quality, and provide accessible, sustainable transportation throughout the corridor. #Ohio #Kentucky

Lovely idea but I don't know how this will shuttle people downtown and back home for work. Mass transit from the Ohio and Northen KY burbs to various points in Cincinnati seems the better alternative. A true mass transit solution. This plan does nothing for Ohio and only would add congestions to the burbs on 275
