It might be hard to argue to the thousands of farmers who have lost crop after crop...or the millions of people who suffered through electricity starved scorchers...or to the many who have seen their energy bills skyrocket, but there really is a silver lining to the extreme drought we've seen spread across the country this season...near record low numbers of tornados, sparing hundreds of lives and saving millions. Take a look at the forgotten benefit of a dry summer, and next time your wiping sweat off your brow while you sit in front of four high-powered fans, at least be thankful you aren't running for cover.
