Tornado's are quite common this time of year, especially in "Tornado Alley."

Every spring, Tornadoes rip across the midwest, this is not something that is exactly rare.

I just hope there's minimal damage and the people of the U.S. get through this ok.
God bless to the ones who sadly lost their lives.

I moved to Siloam Springs two years ago, and this year I've seen a couple of big storms moving in. (Last week and last night) My house faces due west, so when there is a threat I like to take pictures of the storms developing.
Last week when a big storm came through which killed a teenaged girl, there were giant trees uprooted and many street lights and road signs destroyed, yet my neighborhood was unaffected.
Obviously, the damage occurred after the storm passed my area. I feel for those that lost loved ones, and I fear that we're just getting started.

I'm fine with this story being brought out there, and I even feel sorry for those who died in these storms, but it is rather annoying when I'm seeing this on the news more than the hundreds of thousands dead in Myanmar.

Thanks for having a rare moral clarity in a world of fashionable anti-Americanism.
