Thanks. The Dayton” or “Ohio” tornadoes should be in the news now. Only 1 fatality thus far, which is a minor miracle.
You are getting old if you can remember . . .
Interesting response from you to my post, considering the fact that I will turn 59 years old tomorrow.
BTW, I must commend CNN, especially their International channel (recently made available on Directv) for actually providing the best coverage of President Trump’s just-concluded trip to Japan. They even broke in with special programming when Fox and MSNBC were asleep at the switch.
“Only 1 fatality thus far, which is a minor miracle.”
I was reading that the early warning emergency alerts seem to be making a big difference. People seem to be heeding the warnings and taking shelter immediately. I also think it may have helped that most people were in their homes at that hour where they can reach their basement in a matter of seconds instead of being caught outside.
It truly is a miracle only one fatality.
Were any of these close to Centreville? I have a friend who lives there whom I haven’t spoken to in quite awhile.
Centerville is about 5 miles to the South so they are in the clear.
I’ll wait ‘til it’s over with before commenting on OAC’s latest inevitable stupid tweet. This is not about politics.
Thank you!!!
