Many warning signs.

They can’t watch TV or listen to the radio so this is what happens. They never thought it might be coming so they went to see the flood. Very sad. Thank you Warren Jeffs.

First the crane in Mecca and now this

I’ve heard of sister cities and I guess I don’t see anything wrong with it, but I draw the line at polygamous towns. It ain’t right.

I wonder if more might have lived if they hadn’t been encumbered by those long dresses.

[JennysCool]

I know this is a tragic event and my prayers are with the victims but I can't help it:

Run for your wives!

Okay. That's off my chest. Sorry.

They’re insane to boot. One wife is more than enough and sometimes even that is too much!

Let’s have a hearty FR yuk-it-up that these women and children were caught up in an epic flash flood and swept to their death. Ghouls.

Notice the flood victims in their nineteenth-century style dresses.

When I visited the area in 2008, I went into a food store and all the women were dressed in postbellum outfits--long dresses with long sleeves, mostly in solid colors, but one girl wore a gingham dress with a checkerboard pattern. Interestingly, they were all 20-somethings. The few men that I saw were much older and all were wearing Western-style shirts. I felt like I had gone through a time warp back to the days of President Garfield, Arthur or Cleveland.

Interestingly, for a town that small and remote, many of the houses in the residential neighborhoods seemed unusually large. I wonder why?

The poor kids and the terror and suffering they must have gone through.

Breaks my heart. :-(
