Orpheus Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/05/23/missouri.tornado/index.html?iref=NS1 I'm not going to copypaste the entire article seeing how it'd probably break the page. I think some of you are perfectly capable of opening and reading the link of your own volition. In any case, this sucks man. The weather just doesn't want to cooperate as of late. Admittedly not much you can do but hope for these guys. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal. OPEN WIDE HERE COMES THE HELICOPTER.

All_Is_Great Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I heard half the town was wiped out. Last week, a town north of where I live had 40% wiped out by a forest fire. What is going on! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Inb4rapture. I've heard numerous people say this is the beginning of the rapture. Okay, that's terrible. I'm sorry for the lives lost here, and hope that families are able to recover, both possessions lost, and family members lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Oh, how fun. Tornado warning in my area. Very well could be one of my last posts. Probably not, but here's hoping it's not.

Nenga Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 When we had the Tornado here a few years back the Sirens didn't go off at all, it was only a street over from where I lived then, you're pretty lucky if the sirens go off when there is a Tornado. I heard it was more like 80% of the town, and tomorrow they're due more bad weather. Also it could flood, though I think I heard it already has. Ponies!

Nadril Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 My grandparents live in Joplin. Thankfully the tornado barely missed their house and they are all right. Still a really scary thought. Weather has just been out of control recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Weather has starting to become very serious recently. That whole forest fire in slave lake as well... just crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meb Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Inb4rapture. I've heard numerous people say this is the beginning of the rapture. Bound to happen when you get a tornado in the Bible belt. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

Lenticular_J Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 And tornado season is just beginning in West Texas. Weird to hope that we get some, but it's much less populated out here than east, in the deeper south. We need the accompanying rain, badly. Texas' agriculture this year is crashed from all this drought, not to mention all the communities hurt by wildfires. But that is neither here nor there; these sorts of tornadoes are rare in that part of the country, but they do happen. And when they do, it's bad - a typically weak tornado can do a whole lot of damage in a highly populated area. They're beautiful forces of nature in open spaces, but ... Bad stuff. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorLepRecon Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Kansas City, where I live, is not that far north of Joplin. It's kind of scary. I've known people who live in Joplin, I can only hope that they are alright.

And as I type this, there's a Tornado warning for Dallas and Tarrant counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I type this, there's a Tornado warning for Dallas and Tarrant counties. Our season starts later, but I think it will either be much quieter here or big as well (although it won't be as big of a deal as the tornado in Joplin - no matter how fast the wind speeds are, a tornado in a corn field isn't a big deal). But, yes, the eastern part of Texas has been experiencing more severe weather than when I was younger. I was told that we're shifting into an El Nino, and that is considered a major reason for so much activity to the east. One of my friends' younger sisters lives in Keller, and she took a picture of the tornado that touched down in the northern DFW area. Real small, don't believe it did any damage. Hopefully the DFW area is fine, although I know the hail will be very damaging. Golf ball-sized hail ruined the main hospital in Amarillo in 2004 if I recall correctly. And this is twice the size. I sure hope Joplin doesn't get hit again. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, too dry where you live, and seeds drowning out of all the rain here in some parts of New-Brunswick (Canada). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Eggs Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm in Branson Missouri right now visiting my great grandparents. I believe Joplin is just like an hour or so away from here. No sirens went off here though, hope everyone in Joplin can get back on track soon and start repairing. 99 HP, Attack, Strength, Defence, Summoning, Ranged, Herblore, Prayer, Agility, Magic, Slayer, Fletching, Fishing, Woodcutting, Mining, and Thieving.

Zierro Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm probably more afraid of tornadoes than anything else. The idea of it alone is hell. I can't imagine how [bleep]ed up some of the survivors must feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
