and as to the 3 storm chasers who died.............they got stuck on an immovable crossroad....solution....dirt bike racks ...
Mike the caller is an idiot.
I would say he was a bucket full of something else.
She’s a moderate RINO, who thinks she knows best for everyone else. 2 steps short of a lib-dem pest.
There is the problem with Meghan.
She thinks she knows what is best for us.
God Bless those Storm chasers that risked life and limb for folks like her.
We learned a lesson this week.
Egress,can get blocked.
I heard one of the chasers had the door ripped of his vehicle.
Thank God for Safety belts.
Oh well I guess the storm sucked up the brown spot.
Dang, missed that part. I said from day one he was Jim Jones... and told people to watch Life and Death of the People’s Temple.
When I told them he was product, no one understood.
When I gave an example of a 12 year old alone, getting off a Greyhound in a big city, him being the slime that asks if she’s hungry or needs clothes... only to turn her out; I guess many couldn’t relate to that either. So besides the obvious playbook tyrant examples in history, I went for Jim Jones.
(Who was ‘much more’ than another community organizer for the Dems out West and could mobilize huge herds in a sec)
Must be hell in the inner circle and the next level down in the WH.
Was this agreed to before Jobs died... I doubt it, but you never can tell. She was after them big time, must be a Sharpton/Jackson shakedown move.
Oh yeah, Obama is a Charismatic.
He don’t fool me, but he is a pied piper.
There is no telling.
I would guess that Jobs had nothing to do with it.
I didn’t see eye to eye with Jobs, but that guy was a visionary.
I think he ran a tighter ship than what we see now.
One of the other storm chaser’s vehicles lost its hood, in the Monroe tornado video.
When you leave a vehicle that close to a 200mph+ storm, you either get pierced/clubbed by flying objects, or sucked-up and carried into another county or state. It’s deadly work, with a very short lifespan and resume.
RIP, those who died.
I know a pile of them.
They are very cautious intelligent men.
We would never see the footage or get the boots on the ground warnings if it were not for these guys.
True first responders.
Heck they see it coming weeks out, and they rush in.
They are working spaghetti computer models months out.
BTW, Hurricane season just started today
Ron White: There was a guy, down in Florida, who said that the age of 53 years old he was in good enough physical condition to withstand the wind, rain, and hail of a force-5 hurricane. Now, lemme explain somethin' to ya: It isn't *that* the wind is blowin'. It's *what* the wind is blowin'. If you get hit by a *Volvo*, it don't matter how many sit-ups you did that mornin'.
I read an article, earlier this morning but can’t find it now, that showed a red orb which one of them had to place, on foot, in front of an oncoming twister, so it’d get sucked-up into the funnel and give out all kinds of measurements.
That’s just one reason they got so close to the vortex of those storms, only to have one turn suddenly into their path and cause injury/death. Samaras’ company held the record for lowest millibar measurement of tornado activity.
Damn, I wish I could find that article.
Watch the film clip vid; they refer to the probes. The footage is scary:

Exactly. I saw pics of the Moore (OK) Med Ctr walls pierced by boards, poles, straw, wire - all sorts of debris - and that’s usually what’s fatal to humans and animals, unless they get sucked-up into the vortex and carried-off to the next state. With all the debris flying, that would be like being inside a blender, turned on *shred* setting.
