Default Tornados today Joplin, MO

Holy cra.... Joplin MO was hit by a massive tornado this afternoon. Their hospital sustained heavy damage and was on fire ... multiple buildings gone in town.

Another tornado hit the Twin Cities, one dead in Minneapolis.

If this is tornado season, I don't want to see hurricane season.

Been watching a live stream on the Weather channel. Very devastating.

Yeah, you're much better for politicizing the tragedy.

Although I'm about as far away from Obama as could be he belongs in Joplin like he belonged with the Seal team during the bin-Laden raid.

Though I'd like to see is him tell Egypt and Pakistan we had an emergency come up at home and divert that $5 billion to Joplin.

i still remember when arlington jim complained about dt politics being dominated by liberals. i think he was talking about dell. it surprises me when he still occasionally makes a hit/run post here.

credit to dt conservatives. they at least can stand to hear a contrary opinion on occasion and still manage to come back.

Never seen anything like this. Always tornados in the spring but it is amazing the lethal nature of them this spring especially with warning systems and horns in place.
