There's a link to a Yahoo slideshow of photos showing the devastation in that thread
Yeah man... Good everyday non Mcdonalds hurting people are getting slaughtered...
Hell even today ALL 3 of my kids at school were brought into a Tornado safe room and hunkered down for over twenty minutes...
200 people dead in Alabama alone now
We are under watch right now til 9pm..
http://www.wkyc.com/rss/article/1874...at-least-280--Firefighters searched one splintered pile after another for survivors Thursday, combing the remains of houses and neighborhoods pulverized by the nation's deadliest tornado outbreak in almost four decades. At least 280 people were killed across six states - more than two-thirds of them in Alabama, where large cities bore the half-mile-wide scars the twisters left behind.
I've wondered about that...up here we have wild weather.Today we had sun, sleet, ice, snow and rain all within 4 hours.Another 15 cm of snow is expected tonight (6 inches)Originally Posted by MuddyGut
We never have to endure earthquakes or tornadoes, in fact there's no plan...not even text instructions about what to do in the event of...
Do you guys and your kids practice drills and have plans of what to do in the case of a disaster? I know you're close to the coast so I guess that puts
hurricanes on the list too?
doesn't mean much..I still have to give my heartfelt good wishes to all those folks down there and hope that it stops soon...I've been reading a bit on the net, there's so much devastation already
We always stay thankful around here that we couldn't really get Tornados or Hurricanes because of the climate and mountains.... guess it's easier to count your blessings than to remember that we're due for a mega-thrust earthquake. We used to practice going under our desks, the entire province has days where even businesses practice drills for an earthquake.
So I just hope people remembered where they were supposed to go and hide and that it is effective
The schools all have plans in place for most natural disasters (most likely for liability issues)... But as of lately... Tornados were never really an issue... These things are a big change from the ordinary for us..
Thanks homie, all's good here..
My 3 year old was telling me how they were all in restroom (cinder block room) with the lights off and how they had a flashlight on and how the teacher brought a radio in the room and they were singing some songs along with the music on a cd...
Which in my opinion is brilliant... Get the kids minds off of whats going on and also use the music to drown out the noise outside so they wont be terrified and scarred for life...
