Where is the President!!!

These aren't "his" people - he hopes that the damage is extensive and the death toll high. That'll be that many fewer "crackers" that his civilian security force will have to deal with.

Side note - I wonder when Shep will be landing in Tuscaloosa whining about the lack of government help, like he did post-Katrina.

So, has the stupid Obama weighed in yet? or is he on the golf course or at a fundraiser?

Obama hates the people. He is a useless bag of bones.

While this isn’t to quite the same degree, Syracuse, NY was inundated Tues.

Here are some links of the Syracuse area and the SU campus.

This one is obvious. (And no, it’s not a fountain. Just steps)

This one is harder to see, but it is water coming up through a manhole cover like a geyser.

Actually, take a closer look at #39...those *are* “his” people. That looks like a poorer black neighborhood.

Apparently the American Red Cross said this morning that this is their greatest sheltering/feeding operation since Katrina. Hundreds of thousands of people in northern Alabama, southern Tennessee, and northwest Georgia without power.

BTW, the tornado that did that in #39? Tracked across FOUR STATES. Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and just barely into North Carolina before the mountains tore it apart.

baraq dispenses with silliness by going to Chicago to do a tv show and then on to NYC to fleece his zombie supporters. Got home late last night. Has to rest up for his vacation on Friday to Florida to watch the last shuttle mission and get his picture taken with Rep. Giffords.
Then once all the important business has been taken care of, then what the hey, he’s in Florida and there just happens to be a golf course nearby. Might as well get a round in with another bunch of contributors.

Lay off the kenyan. He has a very demanding schedule.

I lost my Grandmother yesterday. Her husband was wounded in the Pacific during WW2 and was sent to recover at the VA hospital in Tuscaloosa AL. He was killed in a robbery thirty years ago and she joined him yesterday. The storm took her to him.

I love ya Maw Maw.

I haven’t been able to read other posts... will send this and shut my phone down. N. Alabama is devastated. No gas available (places that had power are are but empty ). Power out for prob a solid week. Power out from points south of Athens to at least Birmingham. Hard even to buy supplies since we’re in a cash only situation. Many homes in area destroyed. This is historically bad and will take a long time to restore everything. Have not yet seen any utility crews either

Fox just said he is going to speak about this today at 3:10 (eastern).

But he'll probably lead off with some jokes and shout-outs to his socialist financiers.

He's such a despicable Marxist pig.

I hadn't noticed that. Then again, they're probably non-union so "the One" still won't claim them as his people.

I followed that tornado and others last night on another thread - I'm not far from Ringgold, GA and Apison, TN where considerable damage occurred due to tornadoes. The damage at my home and the close vicinity took place yesterday morning, but it is relatively minor in comparison. Lots of trees down less than a mile away, but all I lost was a 7 foot maple, some gable flashing, and a couple of big branches from a pine.

I'm sorry to hear that. Prayers up!

In my continued quest to slam the left at every turn, I sometimes lose sight of what is important.

Prayers for everyone affected by this horrible storm system.

I have family in New Market/Huntsville AL who we haven’t heard from yet. I was in touch with one cousin feeding her tornado warnings by facebook/phone because she had no power. Her area had 6 tornado warnings in 2 hours.

Here is a statement from Herman Cain early this morning:

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of the South who have been affected by the devastating storms that ripped apart communities, homes, and families. May God give you peace throughout the mourning and rebuilding process.

"Thank the Lord you and your family are alright."

We were very fortunate.

My prayers for the folks all across the South who were hit hard by these storms.

Is there any corelation between the strenght of the tornado ( F1, F2, etc) the size ( diameter) and the time on the ground?

I don't know. I think how long one stays on the ground is related to the high and low pressure areas and temperature variations, and how large those areas are. The weather people said before we had the worst outbreak yesterday that the conditions were right for long track tornadoes, but I'm don't know enough to be certain why.
