    This shows that a town isn't necessarily a group of businesses and homes. It's the people who make the town. My heart and prayers goes out to the families and friends who lost loved ones. I'm praying for everyone in this town including their pets.

    Growing up in North Carolina, we'd hear of tornados and think, " at least we don't have to worry about that," but now, no one is safe from this kind of tragedy. A tornado went through here two weeks ago, but it was small and we were mostly lucky. One person did die. How does our country and our people recover, time and time again?

    Yes! You are so right! Absolutely a must! All people need to take the watches and warnings very seriously! I always see people out and about, driving around in their cars, when they should be underground. We get plenty of notice. When we have tornado warnings, or I see it is getting close, my family and all my pets are in our basement where there are no windows. I leave my outside doors unlocked and I have told my neighborhood they are welcome to join us. Not everyone has a basement or shelter. We wear helmets, too.

    ​@ashley_smith I agree. I read about a trailer park that had nowhere for people to go during bad storms. They had very little money. They bought an old, very large bus that didn't run and modified it so it could be accessed from the top. They dug a giant hole and had the bus lowered into the hole. They made a very large underground shelter that fit all the residents inside. I thought that was genius.

    What is going to happen when the intensity of this "new normal" weather ramps up just a bit like this and also the frequency rumps up just a bit? The "climate change" doesn't have to be Hollywood level fantastic it just has to be just enough and just frequent enough. How long will insurance companies be able to survive fixing this type of thing? How long will people shoulder 100% of the risk on their own when it happens every year? Every few years? How is all this infrastructure going to be fixed every year or few years? Who pays for that? Is "first responding" going to be able to keep up with multiple disasters happening every other day/week/monthg across half the country? Who pays for that? Hope is the power going to stay on when near regular weather can wipe out substations like a snap of the fingers? The MSM is NOT talking about the severe level of SERIOUS weather happening just in the last few weeks across the planet. China, Brazil. Poland, Germany, USA, Dubai, UK, etc etc. Mother Nature seems to have turned the dial to 11 folks. It doesn't matter one bit to argue about "climate change isn't man Mande!" or NOT - IT IS HAPPENING. The arguing about the "cause" is MOOT when Mother Nature starts sweeping across entire cities and nation-states like a vacuum cleaner.
