Batten down the hatches....

[krazy kris]

Can I ask an honest question?

WTF is causing this weather? Last June we had Tornados and hail shit constantly too... When I grew up here in the 80s, it hardly ever hailed, let alone fucken tornados like Oklahoma area usually gets... Is this global warming or something?

My prayers go out to everyone, this is some scary and stupid shit. Makes me want to get in my car and go back to California.

It's obummers fault, or it's just tornado season here in Texas. I was actually saying just the other day I can't believe we have been this far into the season without any severe storms.

You were just young and didn't pay attention. I knew about the storms because my dad owns a roofing company. Hail storms and tornados are nothing new to this area. There are some homes we have roofed 4 times in 27 years of being in business because of hail. Hell I did one house two years in a row once because they got hit by hail two consecutive years in a row.

10 reported tornadoes tonight and a gas explosion in Granbury that they can't confirm if it happened before or after the tornado hit. This is crazy.

Lea, I can here you over hear.

I don't think it happens now more than it did when we were kids-we were just less aware of the situation or were kept busy so we didn't notice/freak out. I'm not saying that's the way it is, but could definitely explain it for me.

My dad was a Keller weather watcher back in the day for Harold Taft. He would take me out and show me stuff until things got dark or serious then he would send me in to my mom. At that point, my mom would distract my ADHD ass so I had no clue what was going on outside.




*edit* and hell, at least we can predict the tornadoes somewhat. Cali can't give you a heads up on earthquakes. Fuckabunchathat!

I had to turn it off. My daughter crawled into bed with me and I didn't want her to hear the chaos.

Just tragic.

NBC 5's Scott Gordon snapped this photo of the damage in Granbury after a tornado. A Granbury resident tells NBC 5 that many homes are leveled. At least two people have been killed, MedStar EMS told NBC 5. The Hood County sheriff reports that up to 100 people are injured, MedStar said.
