People just drive by these things like la de da? I'm pretty sure I'd be turning around if I was within 10 miles. And the check shorts light might be on at even that far of a distance. Nuts.
As far as I know, they don't give a IQ test when taking a drivers test.
Stupid people are everywhere and it seems the percentage of them is higher every day.
 
Drivers in storms are idiots. Im 80 miles north of Omaha so we just got the fringe of the storms. Kids are in Omaha on 168th just a mile east of the tornados path. If the tornado would have been 1 or 2 miles east there would have been many fatalitites. Her boss lives in Bennington, severe damage there. A friends 85 year old Mom who lives alone, is in rural Harlan IA which is where we are heading today to cleanup and repair some windows. I'll post more when I get home. Another round of storms today is predicted.
 
Monster wedge over a mile wide. Locals are saying first F5 designation in more than a decade. Multiple vortices also spotted:




Guys with drones were accredited with spotting and tracking that entire storm and pinpointing it's exact location at all times so yesterday's Tornado Emergency alerts were very accurate, saving countless lives.
