Tornado reported in Naples

MIAMI ? There are no reports of any injuries after authorities say a tornado touched down in southwest Florida as Tropical Storm Debby formed.

A Collier County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman confirmed a tornado touched down this afternoon. The Naples Daily News reports several homes were damaged and tree limbs are down.

Forecasters say there is always a possibility of an isolated tornado as storms form.

Senior hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart with the National Hurricane Center says "tornadic activity goes up" because such strong winds are not typical. He says the tornados tend to be quick or short-lived, which is difficult to detect on radar. He recommends that residents "keep an eye on the sky" and to be safe.

A tornado warning had been issued for the area.

2012 Fourth Of July Events For Houston, Galveston, Fort Bend & College Station?Fourth Of July Reading List

There are many events planned to mark Independence Day for 2012 in the Houston area. The Fourth falls on a Wednesday this year.

(Above?Fireworks over Houston.)

In addition to the events listed in this post, there ways you can observe the Fourth in a patriotic fashion on your own. We don?t have to wait for somebody to put on a fireworks show.

We can express patriotism by treating each other kindly, by treating our fellow working people well, by being accepting of all people, and by learning our shared history instead of being ignorant.

At the end of this post is my Fourth of July Reading and Reference list which has some good resources to learn about our nation?s history.

Patriotism is an everyday affair and is well-expressed by being a good fellow citizen to the everyday people who make our nation?for better and for worse?what it is.

A worthwhile thing to do before the fireworks is to attend the Bayou Bend Fourth of July celebration.

Here are some details about the Fourth at Bayou Bend?

?Celebrate Independence Day at Houston?s home for American decorative arts and paintings. The annual 4th of July blowout at?Bayou Bend?offers up an extravaganza of Americana: performers, crafts, activities, refreshments, and more. Don?t forget to sign the giant Declaration of Independence before you leave!?

Bayou Bend, run by the Houston Museum of Fine Arts?is a great year round ?place to learn about early American history.

The big fireworks show in the Houston area is the?Freedom over Texas?festival that is held on the Fourth.??This event will take place in Eleanor Tinsley Park. There will be a lot of people at this festival and it will be very hot.

Please note this reminder from the City of Houston on the Freedom Over Texas webpage?

??The Houston Parks & Recreation Department regulations prohibit dogs, amphibians, reptiles and snakes that are considered dangerous. Therefore, we require the ban of all such animals??

I?m not certain which amphibians and reptiles are viewed as dangerous and which are not.

Another big event is the Houston Symphony?s Star Spangled Salute which is held on the Fourth at the Miller Theater in Hermann Park beginning at 8:30 PM.

Red, Hot & Blue is the fireworks event to be held in The Woodlands on the evening of the Fourth. Fireworks is a fine way for The Woodlands to note the Fourth. Getting it right for the Fourth is a sharp contrast to the inappropriately celebratory manner in which The Woodlands noted Memorial Day 2012. You?ll have to decide for yourself if a place that sees Memorial Day as just another time to shop is the right place for an expression of loyalty to our nation.

In Galveston there will be fireworks at 37th and Seawall at 9:15 PM. I bet the fireworks are nice along the ocean.

The Galveston County Daily News usually does a good job listing holiday events in Galveston County.

Sugar Land promises ?an 18-minute spectacular fireworks show that will color the sky with magic and majesty.? ?Here are the details.??

Rosenberg in Fort Bend County has an event planned for the Fourth.

The George H.W. Bush Library in College Station has the ?I Love America? celebration all day on the Fourth. ?There will be fireworks at the end of the night.

I?m not being sarcastic when I tell you that I would go to the Bush Library for the Fourth if my schedule allowed. The Bush Library event would be my first pick.

I?m certain I?ve left off many events on this list, If you have something you?d like me to add to this list, please leave a comment and I will add your event.

Here is my Fourth of July Reading & Reference list?-??

(Above?Black Americans observing the Fourth in 1939 in?St. Helena Island, South Carolina.)

What books and resources would be helpful to learn more about the American Revolution and about America?

As I?ve said before,?I don?t believe the Revolution was a liberal or conservative event in the sense we think about such things today.

Some of the Founding Fathers were religious. Others were not. ?The Revolution had some aspects of a tax revolt. But who can know if folks in the early days of the nation would not have paid more taxes to?get all the garbage out of the street?or to prevent so many?women from dying in childbirth? ?Some of the founders believed in government being run from state capitols. Others supported a stronger national government.

Anybody who asserts that the American Revolution was a liberal or conservative victory in the modern sense is more concerned with today?s politics than with historical facts.

At the bottom line, it is up to you to know and understand our shared history. If you allow others to define your past, they will likely use that power to help bring about a future you don?t want.

(Below?1887 Fourth of July picnic in?Custer County, Nebraska.)

Here are some suggestions for strong sources to learn about the life in North America before colonization, after colonization, at the time of the Revolution, and to learn about the full history of our nation.

*?1491?New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus?by Charles C. Mann

There was a whole world here before 1492. 1492 is one marker in history. There is little understanding of who lived in the Americas before Columbus. American history did not begin in 1492 or ?in 1620 when the Mayflower arrived.

*?Mayflower?A Story of Courage, Community, and War?by Nathaniel Philbrick

There are starting points in American history other than the landing of the Mayflower. Yet learning the story of the Mayflower is basic to knowing our history.

*?Before The Mayflower?A History of Black America?by Lerone Bennett.

In many ways, nothing is more central to the American experience than the history of black Americans. So much has turned on the decision to bring black people to America, and on how those unwilling immigrants responded to life in North America.

*?American Colonies?The Settlement of North America?by Alan Taylor

This book is a good way to learn about the British colonies. It includes chapters about not just the 13 colonies we all know and love, but also has chapters on British Canada and about colonies in the Caribbean.

*?History of American Women?A blog.

This blog is a useful resource to know more about women of early American history.

*?The American wing of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The website has pictures and details of most of the pieces in the newly reopened.collection.

*?Patriots?The Men Who Started The American Revolution?by A.J. Langguth

This book reads like a novel. It is an enjoyable and informative way to learn about the events and personalities of the Revolution.

*?The Penguin History Of ?The United States?by Hugh Brogan

The?Penguin History?is a one-volume non-ideological account of our nation that discusses the events of the Revolution and then goes on to provide the full context of American history. While I do sometimes read history books written from the left or the right, I find I?d rather have a balanced account that leaves ideological judgements up to the reader.

* A People?s History of the United States by Howard Zinn.

This is the definitive liberal history of the U.S.

As a liberal, I?m confident that an examination of the facts?In a way both comprehensive, and sympathetic to the strengths and weaknesses of our fellow men and women? will lead to a view that America is best when it is welcoming of people of all kinds, and that government has, in tandem with the hard-work of a free people, a role to play in providing a basic social safety net for its people.

In any case, it is your responsibility to learn your history and to consider what this history means in terms of your beliefs and actions in the world.

If you allow someone else to define your past, they will likely use that power to mess up your future.

Learn the past so you can be a hopeful and relevant part of the future.

(Below?How some see the Fourth of July. It is fine as far is it goes. But there is so much more. The painting?called The Spirit of ?76? is by?Archibald Willard.) ?

East Peoria roundabout officially open, Mayor says don't be confused

EAST PEORIA, Ill -- East Peoria officials say they are making huge progress on the downtown development project.

East Peoria Mayor Dave Mingus said this project has been more than 10 years in the making.

Friday night, officials gathered to celebrate the completion one more piece of the puzzle, the roundabout located in the heart of the new downtown area.

This is the first roundabout in East Peoria and some have found it confusing.

Mayor Mingus said it will get better with time, "I think the simple thing is to just come down now, when its not so congested. And the other thing is to just relax and watch the signs and everything is pretty self-explanatory. The anxiety might be a little more dangerous than the roundabout itself."

Mayor Mingus adds more than 100,000 square foot of development is still taking place.
