Joplin MO tornado: At least 89 dead as twister cuts 4-mile swathe through Missouri town | Mail Online
Just breaks my heart. So many people in so many areas and it keeps happening!!
I've been a tornado geek since I was a kid, and I'm seeing things these days I just haven't seen before.
Some of the footage of the Tuscaloosa tornado showed so many suction vortices it looked like a hula-dancer's skirt.
This morning we see them hitting in Massachusetts?
Crazy days...
:shakeshead:
There's been 4 or 5 tornadoes around here this year (nothing strong enough to do much more than blow a couple roofs off) where it's rare to have 1. Crazy year for sure.
It reminds me of pictures of Hiroshima.
It was a F5... 1 mile wide and traveled for 6 miles... My family and some friends hope to be going down there next week to help feed and cloth some of those in the area.. My cousin lived right out side of joplin.. He said that when he got into town his wife started to cry...
i saw some of the carnage in northern oklahoma city, nowhere near as bad as joplin but still makes your spine shiver. i saw full size pickup trucks picked up and thrown into the trees mangled up into metal balls.
I may be going up there this weekend. Friend of mine from work, had 1 friend, and 3 acquaintances that didn't make it. His daughter and son in laws place of business were also wipe out.Quote:

Direct tv was contacted and is now telling people that they need to return there DVR boxes/satlite boxes or they will be charged 500 dollars.... Are you fucking kidding me..
pretty certain that 2011 will be remembered as the year of tornadoes. beginning of june and we're already at a record number FOR THE YEAR.
i saw the previous damage done in the carolinas on my way up to DC (too bad it didn't take out bev perdue). i'm pretty sure that mother nature is not done yet. i would not be surprised to see AL, GA, IN, KY all hit hard in the coming months as well. hell, you can still see traces of the where macon got hit back ~ 08.
you have to feel bad for those displaced by this devastation, and yet...when it's happening everywhere, can you really focus relief efforts/funds?
