NO LINK ON THEIR WEBSITE YET,
yeah huh is a serious affirmation meaning total agreement in my neck of the woods...
Just agreeing with you agreeing with me that
GOD is good. Satan comes to seek, kill, and destroy. Only the FATHER knows why things happen, but HE promises to make all things work together for good for those who love the LORD, because GOD is good.
yeah, huh
Prayers up for all the children and their families. And for all in the storm’s path.
A late entry to the ignorant, tasteless, pointless post contest,huh?!? Yup, homeschooling would’ve solved everything. Dope.
The question was windspeed, not force. That’s going to depend on the size of the storm and how much debris it picked up as well as wind speed.
oh yaw
One of my (California) kids has a question: back in the old days, where did the native Americans shelter in a hurricane? Did they dig trenches? Find a ravine and scramble down into it?
You can’t outrun something like this. Gauge the direction it is moving and cut off to the side as quickly as possible if you can.
The wind can destroy the structure on top of you but the debris it carries is more danger in the open.So I’ve heard.
Sad all the way.
Remembering that storm, friends from Marion IN lost all their automobiles, trucks, trailers, windows in homes, windows in offices, etc. because of the incredible hail storms that accompanied the tornados.
That's a sure bet
Now that tv station has cars & trucks lined up for more than a mile waiting to drop off relief donations !
The fascist maggots will NEVER kill our spirit !
/crosspost :-)
not being in a tornado area i’ve got to ask- don’t they have tornado shelters at schools??
what is a hurricane
Uh, not so much.
Old geologist speaking from memory here: The OKC area is underlain by mainly shale and sandstone/shale. The shale is essentially red clay at and near the surface. Very little limestone near the surface here. The problem with basements, etc. is the shale/clay: it is very hydrophylic, and the wet/dry spells, with the normal temperature extremes here causes havoc with foundations. In short, you can dig a basement, but keeping it intact and water tight over the next few years is not cost-effective. (I speak from experience of having one in my house in OKC years ago.) The limestone you speak of doesn't occur until you get farther south...
i heard on the news seven kids drowned in this tornado...my speculation was they were hunkered down but maybe a water main broke...
Oops! I meant to ask about tornados. I’m not thinking very well today.
Coroner spokesperson just said on Greta there are another 20 children coming in to them that are not yet in the count.
That was the day my oldest sister was confirmed so I remember it well. We lived in Detroit then. The weather there was bad, I remember watching the rain out our dining room window. Our cousins' cottage on Lake Wilson outside of Hillsdale MI had a tree damage the roof. A brand new cottage across the road, maybe 50 ft away, was destroyed, as were several along the lake. You can still find the old foundations in the woods.
News9 chopper heading back in/down, just said more thunderstorms w/lightning moving into Moore area
just trying to help out but maybe the indians had the horse sense to do what the buffalo did
