I'm not so sure it was "all Mother Nature." What about HAARP?

Everybody sing the chorus!!

"Bring that *** to anootthhherrrrrr threaaaadddddd."

Not this one.

WTH!?

They are already moving in heavy equipment? Per CNN. Are you kidding me?

They found people in Bangladesh long after for cripes sake. It's been six hours.

When I was a kid in the 70's, we would have "tornado drills once a month. We would all march into the hall and sit against the wall with our heads at our knees and would cross our arms above our heads. Watching what happened today in O.K. made realize that the winds are strong enough, A EF-3 to EF5 would lay waste to what ever is in its path, crouched with my arms over my head or not, I was in trouble. God Bless everyone in O.K.

It may actually be a good thing. Perhaps there may be certain sections they can easily access to look for survivors if strategic pieces are moved.

I really hope they are not going to just start ripping in there without thinking of people still buried.

I hope......

Has anyone ever entertained the idea, that maybe this is all part of Agenda 21? I know we're all anticipating a big bang but, it's these little bangs that concerns me the most.

Don'tcha think that might be more suitable in a different forum? 'Skunk Works' maybe? or something else similar?

Do they know where the water came from?

I haven't heard much about it, but I did hear one person say that it was from rain.
I was thinking that it could have been from busted pipes.
Anyone know?

Ugh. It's just too horrifying to think about.

As if being in the tornado wasn't frightening enough...

Rain most likely, usually these storms involve hail, rain, and wind, in addition to the funnel

Yeah, I can't even begin to imagine how it would have been for them.


Sounds more like something that only occurs in movies, but never in reality.

Well its just passing through, some trees are down, a few tranformers blew up, and One hell of a lightning show. I dont think ive ever seen that much lightning.

Correct, but most basements don't flood a significant amount.

If the basement would flood that bad from rain, they should have already known it, and would not have used it for shelter.

Man idk what to say.

Just got to place that I could get online .

Just a badass storm. Badass.

At one point the lightning sounded like cannon reports.

crazy.

praying for those in the path .

CNN: ME just said at least 20 fatalities children.

Sending regards to the people affected by the tornadoes... family and friends, and of course, any ATS members.

Tips for companion animals owners, their friends, family...
4 Keep taking care even after the disaster

4 Keep taking care even after the disaster

Your home may be a very different place after the emergency is over, and it may be hard for your pets to adjust.

.Don't allow your pets to roam loose. Familiar landmarks and smells might be gone, and your pet will probably be disoriented. Pets can easily get lost in such situations.

.While you assess the damage, keep dogs on leashes and cats in carriers inside the house. If your house is damaged, your pets could escape.

.Be patient with your pets after a disaster. Try to get them back into their normal routines as soon as possible.

.Be ready for behavioral problems caused by the stress of the situation. If these problems persist, or if your pet seems to be having any health problems, talk to your veterinarian. If your community has been flooded, search your home and yard for wild animals who may have sought refuge there. Stressed wildlife can pose a threat to you and your pet.

For safety, if possible, contact local wildlife centers for all wildlife found in and around your home.
