Anyone know where the Virginia Panhandle is?
Hope you folks get the rain you need without any tornadoes.
record flooding in parts of Indiana, too
This is an ongoing life threatening situation.
No longer appears in Breaking News or any of the sidebars!?
Global Warming, no doubt...
It’s all because of Global Warming. If we’d just listen to Al Gore, none of this would happen.
/s
This is an ongoing life threatening situation.
Does not appear in any sidebars, Breaking News or Front page news.
Why does on have to do a search to find a Breaking News story?
BTTT
Yes we did have a rare tornado in Washington/Oregon but your right nothing like the SE
God is proving Al Gore and his minions are wrong.
Never 2nd guess the Almighty...meaning God not Gore.
...and we sadly all know it’s Bush’s Fault.
Praise the Lord for the rain on Alabamastan, we need it.
Prayers that no one gets hurt.
Not worthy of Breaking News,
