So.....tornado and stuff

[Short-bus]

It seems like it is going to hit us again.

I live in the "greater Kansas City " area, and we are to have all the fun stuff again this afternoon. I plan on being home before the hail starts.

Personally I have no love for Missouri, but the wifes folks are here, so we will stay here. The kiddo is also here and I can use the good old OLSD.

If you ever want to have some fun refer to your children as OLSD, Organic Labor Saving Device, they just love that.

I'm in the same boat. I'm in smithville. Wife's parents are here, so I'm stuck here. I wanted to get a place in Wyoming, Idaho, or better, montana. Not until the wife's parents are dead. problem is, by then the land will be too expensive for us to own.

A small tornado went over our house in Maine when I was about 10 or 12 years old. It started out as a thunderstorm, but fortunately mom got us kids inside, despite our protests. Tornadoes are about as uncommon as it gets in Maine. No one expected anything but a summer thunderstorm.

A half mile down the road it put a school-friend’s double-wide in the middle of the road, in a twisted pile of wreckage. In moved other trailers from thier pads. There was substantial damage with trees down and destroyed roofs and windows. Fortunately, most regular built structures held up well.

In my bedroom there was an almost perfect 2 inch circle hole in the double pane glass on the outside pane. That circle had dropped in between the two panes of glass. A piece of hail had hit it that fast.

Some folks were injured but thankfully no one killed.

It's been a pretty rowdy spring so far. Were in North Texas and have dodged all the nasty shit so far. Next few days look pretty bad too....

Part of that is the incessant need for the media to have you quivering in your boots scared. What kind of weather? Anything from a light sprinkle to Linda Blair growling "you'r all going to die!"

 

[missed]

I'm not scared. If the storms kick off down by us today the main threat is big hail. Hopefully the cap will stay strong and keep the storms from building or limit there strength. Tomorrow it's high winds and more hail are the main risks. It's spring time in Texas, just another day.

Greenfield Iowa got hit hard yesterday morning. Town of 2000 is pretty much gone with fatalities. No talk of how many fatalities and injuries as yet. Very sad for those people.

 

[Sandhog308]

We were under a Tornado Warning most of last night in the Arkansas River
Valley. Sirens activated 3 times . Someone kept their finger on the button.
High winds and mini monsoon rains. Looks like round 2 is heading my way.
Be safe out there y’all

update : 1200 hrs now …boom booms and lightening

 

[S Roche]

ETA Greenfield Iowa tornado it was a EF4, 4 dead over 30 injured. More coming tonight. Tired of this weather

Down here in Texas, they are constantly promising each day some more end of the world, bend over and kiss your butt goodbye, weather.

They sound sirens for lightning instead of actual tornadoes on the ground. So, here is the thing, people can only be scared for so long. Then, the body and mind react by becoming numb and not listening to sirens.

I get it, they want people in a safe place in case a tornado spins up but seeing the images from Iowa, getting into a house just meant you got killed quicker.

Instead of sending money to Ukraine, how about we build tornado shelter buildings where people can go in their communities?

Or at least a tax break if you get one built. And make new property development require one.

Being warned that a tornado is on your ass does not save you from it if you have no place to survive in.

Over 100 tornados happened this past week - and up to 20 millions people are "at risk" this weekend for severe tornadic weather- we are under watch here (DFW) and nearby county reported a (tornado) touchdown. Supposedly may jeopardize I-95 travel Monday night. What is HAARP up to?

 

[Stevo86]

We just climbed out the cellar, one tornado hit 35 and destroyed a gas station where people from nearby camp ground where taking shelter… haven’t heard just how bad it is. 2 more tornados just south of us as well. Haven’t heard damage report from those yet. Getting pretty western here

There was a grant program a couple years to build them. I'll see if I can find it again.

North of DFW looked like it was pretty rough last night, were south west of DFW and have been lucky this spring so far.

Yeah, 5 died in Cooke County including some kids, some kids still missing.

Last hurricane that made it here in central Louisiana, it took me a full day with a tractor and power saw to cut my way thru the downed trees on my driveway, about 100 yards. But then again my tractor is 75 years old and I'm a little older than that. We both have to rest occasionally.

And one tree got my truck, still driveable but took about three weeks in the body shop for a new roof, door, and hood.

The more they tell me this is "climate change", the more I believe this is HAARP and not momma nature.

Yeah, there was a tornado warned storm north of the Red River and west of Thackerville, Ok (Winstar Casino.)

Then another one that took up most of Grayson county but the hook echo crossed the county line into Collin County.

7 People died in Cooke County. It may help to remember this is a very rural area where people live in old houses and mobile homes.

Seven dead, 200 structures destroyed in Valley View tornado

Just watched a news segment with Greg Abbott on the tornadoes last night. Over 200 homes destroyed/severely damaged and gee - we have trouble placing them. Why? Not because of the holiday, but because all of the hotels are already full.

Full of Biden's invasion, no doubt.

We should put residents in hotels and give the mobile homes to the invasion.

Here’s a thought if you don’t like flooding, don’t live in the Mississippi Delta,if you don’t like hurricanes don’t live on the gulf coast and if you don’t like tornadoes or baseball size hail, don’t live in tornado alley JMTCW…

Well Shit, we live in North Louisiana but we get floods, we get hurricanes, we get tornados.

Flood of 2016

Tornado at the state park, just across the lake from our home 2019

Hurricane Laura of 2020

Oh, and just for fun, every now and then we get a good snowfall just to make sure we enjoy all of mother nature’s variety

2021

Move to Louisiana they said, Weather’s always nice, year round, you’ll love it they said. That would be 1955. Left North Mississippi

Still, I kinda like it here.

I have family that lives near Baton Rouge. And our nephew went to Tech in Ruston. Now, he just graduated with doctorate from a fancy college in the New England area. He is one of those quiet and smart guys that just eventually pulls so far ahead, you can barely see the tail lights.

How bout not give em a fuckin thing and boot em out of the country. And say come back amigo and we will kill you!

 

[brassninja]

All joking aside unless you had a business ready to go right out of college why would someone live in tornado alley?

Hurricanes etc are large slow moving events which you can escape. But tornados are “immediate threat”.

There are other rural locations that have much lower percentage etc

Well, you're not from Tennessee...

 

[Slash0311]

My area got hit yesterday. There were two lines of storms, one morning then one in the evening.

News showed a tornado on radar moving right over my immediate AO. That strom was moving at 75 miles an hour. I had no damage and barely a leaf out of place. To my south Hopkins County (Hopkinsville, KY) got hit hard. A long track tornado crossed about 6 counties, was on the ground for about an hour, and appears to have stayed on the ground for over 30 miles.

News was showing a couple towns that have been destroyed and reporting at least one fatality as of now.

This is hail….
