not really bitching great video and photo's but cliffs indeed shit was bad. powe made unfunny jokes mulletman could or could not be dead dbl wonders if bama football is ok hebrew1 enters kslim leaves
thanks. i was following it earlier when the storm was actually hitting and it sounded bad, but then i just saw people mention powe in this thread and that one was like 17 new pages, including an entrance by thehebrew, so i don't want to read it
I think y'all will maybe understand what happened. I guess this stuff happens often in the midwest. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head the randomness of the tornado. If it goes due north it takes out my apartment and bryant denny. If it goes a more north during it's northwest path then it takes out users WBN, StoneCold, some of my friends and others. If it goes just a hundred yards more north it takes out clownbaby and our main hospital. If it goes 30 yards more to the west it takes out a ton of my friends in midtown village. I think i'm having a harder time with this shit and I wasn't really affected by it. Other than most of the places I would eat at don't exist anymore.
End of 99 we moved to a suburb in north atlanta and our neighborhood was hit by a tornado, our street to be exact. Damn thing skipped house it hit like 1 house then crossed street and got 2 then crossed street again. Things are so damn random.
Saw a picture in north alabama of a brand new home getting destroyed while a trailer a hundred feet away was fine. Those things are so precise. Of course the one in Tuscaloosa just fucked everyone up.
Tuscaloosa one was just so damn wide. Me and my buddies were going to call up there and try and come up and help with whatever we can not this weekend but the weekend after. I don't know what we can do but we will bring chainsaws and try and get donations
PM user snakes because he's a part of the whole greek relief whatever thing going on. I honestly don't know what organizations are doing what. I can give you directions but I don't know about what organizations are dong what. I've been going in myself since Thursday but i'm taking a break because I needed to get away. Thank you so much for coming. Eventually and it may even be now the national media has forgotten about us and that's just how the news work but the country hasn't forgotten and it's been amazing. There has been so many people coming in and it's one of the coolest things i've seen. I've always done stuff like this for other people. From tornadoes in North Alabama and down in Enterprise to hurricane recovery i've gone places to help people but i've never really experienced something that was this personal. Here is one of my many posts on the subject. But yeah if you need any info or directions or anything pm me or user snakes.
Tornado hit my town yesterday. Shit was fucking crazy, damage to about 45% of the houses in the town. My mom and dad were at my house when it hit.. my dad was standing about 30 feet from my house trying to take pics off the funnel clouds and shit on his phone and I was standing on my front steps.. next thing I know he's running towards me, I look up and there's debris and shit covering the sky. We booked it down to the basement as fast as we could. Luckily there was no damage to my house other than a decent size tree limb down. Neighbor across the street had a trampoline in their front yard but it got thrown into the backyard of the house beside them. It hit the hardest in the center of town and there are trees and shit down everywhere, sheds flipped over, roofs off a lot of houses, all sorts of typical tornado effects. One block west of me there are trees and shit everywhere and a block east you can't even really tell anything happened. I got lucky... shit was a rush though. Chasing tornadoes would be an awesome job I've decided.
Here are a couple videos.. Lenox, Iowa Tornado Part 1 of 2 05-11-11 Lenox, Iowa Tornado Part 2 of 2 05-11-11
Couple more of inside the town. Weather Service: 2 Tornadoes Hit Iowa Town Lenox man talks about tornado Multiple Tornado Touchdowns Reported Noon Update: Live Storm Damage Report You know you're from a small town when you know every person in every video.
thought we were supposed to get some severe weather over night, looks like if any it'll be tomorrow afternoon nothin like a small little storm to go to sleep to though
Sirens have been going off every now and then for about the last hour in Iowa City, but it seems to be going North/West for now. Drove through some nasty shit for about 30 miles on the way into town though. Hail, lightning, could barely see the taillights right in front of you. And of course some dipshits still go 85/tailgate/don't have lights on
Looks like Joplin, Missouri got hammered. Weather Channel guy down there is crying on air http://producermatthew.com/live
A hospital and two apartment complex's got wrecked. Now apparently there's an explosion at the hospital.
Wow. In a fucked up, ironic kind of funny, that link was playing "End of the Line" by Daft Punk while showing the weather map.
@ProducerMatthew Matthew K Joplin EMS reporting a woman trapped in a car with a tree limb stuck in her leg.
Damn that doesn't sound good. Hope no Mizzou guys are from there Tornado watch down here, doesn't look like it will amount to much though
Holy shit my area is getting hammered right now. Joplin hospital got hit very hard. Fatalities could be high.
Yeah the pictures do not look good at all. Bettis is pissing me off on the Weather Channel. Quit being a bitch and start helping people.
family in joplin lost their house. they lived right off of I-44. Were away this weekend so they were very lucky to be out of harms way.
chick on my facebook friends posted a video of that tornado forming, it was a ways away and it looked huge
damn broX. lucky for them to not be there from the video/photos being sent out. There is a lot of chatter on the police/fire scanner from Joplin.
Yeah some are saying minimum EF-4. Scanner chatter is not encouraging. Just in the 10 minutes I have had it up; there has been at least 10 reports of death.
holy shit and i didn't realize there was a watch dallasdawg, we got one here too for the night looks like
just from what I can gather is that it was at least 3/4 mile wide and was on the ground for an extended time through heavy resident and business areas. Link to the scanner feed. It helps to have google map up so you can see where they are talking about. http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?action=wp&feedId=2798
Couldn't shell out the 9k for on NK. Tv us cutting in and out... looks like its weakening a little. I thought I had some badass video on my phone but its too dark.
Okay if it is the one I am watching on radar that is true. Looks to be tailing off. another strong line possible heading towards Joplin.
My uncle and aunt both work in the St Johns hospital that got destroyed. Aunt is fine, no word from uncle.
Tj I'm down in Ardmore and the weather came from the SW in Texas, headed up your way. Looks like I was right in between two huge cells and only got some rain
Thanks ddawg :ohholyfuck: at this girl that gets picked up and tossed around in her car, I'd be pissing myself and crying like a girl
They have now got multiple mobile morgues in Joplin. Also this news. @ProducerMatthew Matthew K Just in: 7 people reported dead on arrival at nursing home in Joplin
Holy shit, this show is terrifying. Can't even imagine being like that guy who is the only one of his four friends in his house to survive
Really glad I decided to flip between this and the bulls game. Its making basketball seem a lot less important
