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.

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.

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.

They’ll blame it on the sequester

That's a sure bet

Watching Fox now, they are reporting that in Moore Oklahoma a school collapse has taken the lives of 24 3rd graders.

I saw that and I cried like a baby, I have four young children!

Oklahoma and Texas sit atop a vast plain of limestone on which there is a relatively thin layer of soils of different sorts.

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...

When I was a child, on Palm Sunday 1965 there was an outbreak—47 tornadoes in a six state area. Sky was green as pea soup.

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.
