Nasty radar return just rolled through a little south of Tulsa. Anyone in touch with RKL that can do a status check?

One may have been moving 86mph which if that holds, they're still looking at the data, would make it the fastest moving recorded tornado ever.

Kent St in Greenfield, IA before & after today’s extremely violent tornado. The way landscapes can be deeply altered in mere seconds will never cease to scare the crap out of me.

Alleged? Really? Can they name anything else that could have caused damage like that?
Well to be fair to NBC it could have been this guy

Tornado warning here tonight, done about 930. No power. Finally cleared enough to get a cell signal. I'll be out on the deck with a sandwich and glass of whisky.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Just read a news report that said both drivers escaped without serious injury, though I'm guessing the seat of their pants didn't.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
