At least 16 said dead in Missouri, Oklahoma tornadoes

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - At least 16 people were killed on Saturday in Missouri and Oklahoma after tornadoes swept through the area, authorities in the two states said.

Hope everyone's okay...

Last year, Barack Obama was campaigning in Virginia and said that 10,000 people died in a Kansas tornado.

The tornado actually killed 12 people.

That was the same tornado that Democrats politicized the war about, saying that the Kansas National Guard didn't have any equipment to help out because supposedly it was all in Iraq, which of course was a lie.

I wonder if Democrats will be politicizing this latest round of tornadoes in a similar manner.

I would assume so. When all of life is a political game, nothing is beyond politics.

When I left KS for CA many years ago, everybody said I was crazy to move to the land of earthquakes.

Pitcher, OK is (was) a town of about 300 in extreme NE Oklahoma.

Per reports on the Tulsa TV news, the twister was 2/3 mile wide and took out about 20 blocks of the town (abt. 2 miles).

Most of the destruction was in residential areas. The downtown area did not get hit. The twister hit about 5:30 p.m.

Not good.

It is in northern AL, too. Wicked storms. Madison County was under a tornado warning but it has been canceled. It is really fascinating watching the tv stations with radar. They have been on full time weather coverage for hours. Looks like the Cullman area is getting hit right now.

Looks like we are under a tornado warning again. Tornado spotted crossing I65 just south of Huntsville which means it is probably headed my way since I live in SE HSV. It just popped up without warning.
