I didn't realize it was close to you. Glad you're ok.

Video shot by a deputy who responded to Smithville

That is a giant load of sorrowful whoop-ass, Big Sarge. I'm speechless.

Oh I missed the video before. Nasty. How's the clean-up coming along? it's going to take years to deal with all that

It will take years. Plus they had another victim die yesterday from her injuries. Three local police departments have donated patrol cars to their pd since they lost all of their cars. An anonymous donor gave $150,000.00 to help compensate the victims' immediate needs

How is the potable water situation?

Big Sarge · 05-08-2011, 09:28 PM

They've been on bottled water & boiled water. The Dept of Health is hoped to lift the boil water ban soon.

Just saw this over at Boing Boing.

Tornado deaths and tornado frequency don't match up. Basically, if you get lots of tornadoes in your area, you are smart about them, and don't let them kill you. If they are kind of rare, then they kill you.

Well there's something else in that statistical mix. A greater frequency of tornado occurence doesn't necessarily equal a greater frequency of killer tornadoes. It might, but it might not ... we can't tell that from those images.

Well the lower image purports to show the frequency of killer tornadoes. But if you meant that a greater frequency of tornadoes doesn't necessarily mean a greater frequency in severe tornadoes, than you are certainly correct there. This unfortunately doesn't address that.

Yes that is what I was trying to say, in my ungainly fashion.
