The Burning Windsor band traveled north on I-55 in Holmes County, Mississippi early Saturday afternoon. The band was trying to get to Memphis for a gig Saturday night. They never realized they were driving straight into the path of an EF4 tornado! Check out this video (and make sure you click the button on the lower right to make it full scream, er, I mean full screen). The preliminary damage survey by the National Weather Service from the tornadoes in Mississippi on Saturday is nothing short of incredible. There is a continuous tornado damage path of 97 miles from west of Tullulah, Louisiana to Durant, Mississippi. That’s where they had to stop surveying for the day. The continuous track may extend for a total of 160 miles to the north of Columbus! There was one spot where the tornado was an astonishing 1.75 miles wide! The survey team found two spots where damage was rated EF4 with winds estimated to be 170 mph (in Yazoo City and in Holmes Co.).

Band on the road ping.
“.....I believe the band is changing their name to
“twisting in the wind”.....
That was a good one...and I’m still on my first cup of coffee!
Beautiful country, but I’d be a wreck living there.
Gimmee a Noreaster or Hurricane any day of the week...they are so blessed to be alive.

I was next-door to the Xenia Tornado. (If you don't know what I'm referring to, look it up.)
Stuff Happens.
Of course He is.
Luke 13:
1And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things? 3No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
He's not saying anything He hasn't been saying for a very long time ...
Me likey the news babe.
we got very lucky it went over mostly rural areas and just the very outside edge of yazoo city
another mile MW and it would of taken out the whole city
You bet stuff does happen. I would pray, just to be safe.
God doesn’t like to be too obvious. He likes room for doubt. Yes, he always speaks to us. We should not normally take acts of nature personally, I would agree with that — it rains and shines on the godly and ungodly alike. But it doesn’t hurt to look upon nature’s power and think of Him.
” ... if God were trying to say something that substantial ...”
Like Snowmageddon in DC, like snow and or cold all around Algore’s global warming speeches [even cold during the Kyoto gathering — their ice sculpture was supposed to melt], a blizzard in Copenhagen — it starts to add up.
This tornado, I agree, is not etreme regarding location. It’s just so darn HUGE.
No atheists in the foxhole!
THANKS MUCH.
QUITE SO.
QUITE SO.
THX THX.
PRAYER PING RE TORNADO SUFFERERS AND THE RETURN TO GOD OF AT LEAST “CHRISTIANS” IN THIS NATION AND WORLD.
THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN !NOTHING! comparatively.
THIS past year has merely been driving by and noticing the painted house addy on the curb.
We are not yet on the side walk to the doorway to the foyer of the real traumas scheduled.
Many believe that is going to rapidly change dramatically this spring and summer.
EVERY time this current Iceland volcano has erupted, a bigger nastier one has erupted within 6 months . . . over a many 100 year record.
Mostly correct, imho.
However, He does seem to be increasing HIS admonition to
WATCH, BE PREPARED, LOOK UP, YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH.
WORK WHILE THERE’S LIGHT. HORRIBLE DARKNESS IS DESCENDING.
REDEEM THE TIME.
WELL PUT.
THX
“The finger of God.”
You don’t know how right you are.
Prayers for the survivors and the souls of the lost.
???
Is there anything in the Holy Gospel According to St. Luke which is NOT correct?
He does seem to be increasing HIS admonition
Or not. It's a truism that the END OF THE WORLD is one day closer than it was yesterday. Which is not to say that it's particularly close. It's also a truism that my own personal "end of the world" is also one day closer than it was yesterday. Which is also not to say that it's particularly close.
Luke 12:33-47
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Several years ago, a tornado, strength unknown, touched down in downtown Nashville. Did a lot of damage. Can’t recall if any deaths were caused by it. They were lucky. D@m*ed lucky.
