24 Dead in Oklahoma Tornado

Westboro showed up and was denied a permit to protest, they did anyway. Then they got arrested for not having a permit. It wouldn't have done them any good they crowds were huge and they were blocked from view by the crowd.

 

91?? I heard 51 .. Still its very sad what happend!

My thoughts and love to all who are affected!!

 

Was only 24, coroner was getting wrong info.

 

Veteran professional storm chaser, son, and another chaser dead. Tornado made an unexpected turn toward them.

They weren't hot-doggers. They were gathering science data from a vantage point on the northwest side of the tornado that would normally be relatively safe.

Yes its very sad........ @ least they were doing something they loved!

 

Am I the only one wondering why a public school where kids go doesn't have some type of tornado shelter when Oklahoma has an average of around 64 tornadoes per year?

 

The more recent El Reno storm that killed the three professional storm chasers is said to have been about 2.6 miles wide and an EF5.

There is some info in the article about sub-vortices that were occurring in the storm that produced measured 295 mph winds.

Nature is destructive, but not nearly as destructive as human nature.

 

Thats quite a power statement!!!
