If you have never been near this sorta thing you cannot understand the terror.

@texaswunderkind Ай бұрын

I grew up in Tornado Alley and we never felt terror. It was just part of life. Don't get hysterical.

@Natty183 Ай бұрын

I felt terror when I heard the hail core coming toward the house in Norman, OK a few years or so ago. It wasn't a tornado but it sounded like a train coming and we all thought it was a tornado. I had been in Oklahoma for about eight years and I usually ignored most of it, but damn, when you hear it coming right at you, it's something different.

My home and small city was turned into an Apocalyptic scene Mother's Day 2015 and it was amazing how many other states with their own equipment showed up immediately to begin the great needs of the city reduced to rubble... I sure pray the same will occur for these lovely Americans in Sulphur Oklahoma. Let us all pray for one another not only in this storm season but daily. This nation needs to pray daily and never diminish the great power of prayer.

@chrisseigler6576 Ай бұрын

When a tornado causes damage to a building or other inclosed infrastructure, its mostly caused not by the strong winds in the tornado, but by the extreme decreased in air pressure that the high winds cause. This rapidly creates effective high pressure inside of the building, popping off the roof, doors etc. Large, heavy, secure items inside the building can remain in place if the tornado leaves the site fast enough. Of course, larger slow moving tornados will remove roofs doors etc., and then cause more damage, flatten houses etc. Hope this helps!

I guess if you want it to constantly flood. That was part of the problem last night. Underground tornado shelters flooded so people couldn't get in them. It's also not "inevitable". I've lived in different tornado alleys my entire life and have yet to be hit. My grandparents grew up in the same area and never got hit by one.

As with all storm disasters, the Governors of the states affected will ask for federal assistance and they will receive it. It’s the disruption, injuries, and loss of life that is heartbreaking.
