President Barack Obama called Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin on Monday to express his concern about a monstrous tornado that wreaked havoc in the Oklahoma City suburbs. The White House said Obama told the governor that he’s directed the government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide any assistance she needs. FEMA has sent a special team to Oklahoma’s emergency operations center to help out and dispatch resources. The White House said Obama’s homeland security team is keeping him updated on the situation. The tornado flattened entire neighborhoods in the southern suburb of Moore with winds up to 200 mph, leaving buildings on fire and landing a direct blow to an elementary school.

In terms of weather and other natural disasters, no place is immune since there are floods, droughts, snowstorms, earthquakes and other such mayhem. That said, one area that seems to have mostly tranquil, uneventful weather is the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee/Virginia. Spring and Fall are long with a mild Winter and Summer season.
I'll dash out and buy several copies in the AM. :)

He is just trying to get the focus off his scandals and impeachable offenses. Just another campaign stop and another dem trying to use dead children and a crisis for political reasons.
Who cares? I doubt many people around there will care one bit that he is there.....but if it gives some of those ravaged people a measure of comfort to see the liar in chief...good.
Oh, I agree. I originally stated he would make a show of it for his own ends, you stated he wouldn't be going, "anytime soon, if ever".
Well..you were right...the man has no shame. Not one county in Oklahoma went for him....lol...it will be a chilly reception or they will bus in all the drones for his speech.
Yeah, he’s beyond reprehensible.
