Third wave of storms hits
BALTIMORE (May 8, 2003) —
Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and several other states bore the brunt of
a third wave of violent weather that spawned tornadoes and large hail
Thursday night.
We've had tornadoes before but we haven't had this many this close
together in a long time.
Missouri Gov. Bob Holden is requesting that 14 more counties be added
to a federal disaster declaration of 39 counties from Sunday's storms.
And storms warnings were continuing Thursday night, with emergency
officials trying to get new warnings out to people with communications
downed by the last two rounds of severe weather.
Officials are using every means possible – such as messages via HAM
radio operators – to provide storm warnings to those in areas without
communications, said Susie Stonner, spokeswoman for the Missouri State
Emergency Management Agency.
"I've been with the state for 10 years," Stonner said. "We've had
tornadoes before but we haven't had this many this close together in a
long time. We've got more severe weather coming."
Hardest hit from Tuesday's storms were Desoto, Mo. in Jefferson
County, and Jackson, Mo., in Cape Girardeau County. In Desoto, storms
including a tornado collapsed the gym room of Desoto Junior High
School and destroyed seven homes and damaged more than 140 others.
In Jackson, Mo. in Cape Girardeau County, where county workers have
removed nearly 69,000 pounds of debris. A church and 40 homes in
Pulaski County were damaged.
Despite the devastation, relief organizations have provided help.
"The volunteer agency response has just been overwhelming - everyone
has pulled in and worked together," Stonner said.
Several people have relocated to a shelter by the Immaculate
Conception Church and the American Red Cross in Jackson and the Red
Cross has established at least 10 other shelters in schools and
churches in affected areas. The Salvation Army also
Salvation Army and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief have expanded
mobile and fixed meal programs in all of the hardest hit areas, the
agency said.
Debris removal teams have been deployed by Southern Baptist Disaster
Relief and Mennonite Disaster Services. United Methodist Committee on
Relief and Church World Service also have deployed staff to affected
areas, and the Humane Society of the United States and Emergency
Animal Rescue Services are looking after animal welfare needs, the
state agency added.

HMMMM, David Ball didn't predict two more waves. Ms Elle ("missle" in
her transvestite period) didn't. Worstall didn't. Titan Point didn't.
James didn't. tellthetruth didn't. Matt didn't.
Why didn't you? I did. Go to google.news.com and look up the waves of
tornados since [Date: 8 May 2003 21:49:49 -0700] and tell me why my
science saw something I could predict and your science saw only chaos?
Explain why you should be believed, who know less than enough needed
to know to make a bold prediction that turns out true.
200 friggin' tornadoes ought to be visible to anyone who has eyes to
see, but you have proved you are the blind leading the blind and you
all are going to fall into the ditch.
