At Least 18 Dead As Killer Tornadoes Once Again Sweep Across Central
U.S.
Sunday, May 11, 2008 | 1:31 AM ET
A tornado that spun across the Oklahoma-Missouri border killed at
least 18 people as severe storms raked the region on Saturday,
injuring many and mangling buildings in the storm-weary region.
At least 12 people were killed after severe storms spawned tornadoes
and high winds across sections of southwestern Missouri, the State
Emergency Management Agency said. Ten of the dead were killed when a
twister struck near Seneca, near the Oklahoma border.
At least six people were killed as the tornado flattened the
northeastern Oklahoma town of Picher, authorities said. Hail the size
of golf balls and high winds were reported in the area.
The death toll in Oklahoma could climb, said state Emergency
Management spokeswoman Michelann Ooten. The Picher tornado caused
major damage in a 20-block area, she said.
I know they are going through the rubble, trying to find people
missing," she said. "There are numerous injuries."
Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry issued a statement saying a major emergency
response was underway. He planned to visit the area Sunday.
The tornado apparently picked up a trailer and slammed it down on
garbage bins at a glass plant in the southeastern Oklahoma community
of McAlester.
Officials at the U.S. National Weather Service said the twister then
skipped across state lines and ripped through southwestern Missouri.
A tornado damaged buildings and pulled down trees in Stuttgart, Ark.
The Weather Service said trees were down across a wide area of the
southeast Arkansas city and that an elderly woman was reported trapped
in her home.

If the author cannot see the irony, any attempt by anyone to explain it
would be futile.

lol... you've just proven his point... but, here's a go... try researching
tornados... specifically regarding their increasing occurrences and
strengths over time... and here's a place to start:

otherwise, try watching "the day after tomorrow" for a fictitious
extrapolation from reality...

Why does God so HATE AmeriKKKa?
Maybe it has something to do with AmeriKKKa's campaign of mass murder in
Iraq.

To which we must ask ourselves again... Is this KKKonservative AmeriKKKan
simply a MORON, or is he simply in denial of reality? Both perhaps?

That's a graph showing recored tornados, which have increased over
decades, no doubt due to more thorough coverage over the years.
The recent increase in tornados was perfectly understandable, and
due to the COOLING caused by the current La Nina See the May 12 post

With the current PDO shift, we can expect stronger La Ninas and
weaker
El Ninos over the next 20 or 30 years.
For another fictitious and less irrelevant extrapolation from
reality,
try reading "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" , from Aesop's Fables- A. McIntire
