Thanks Max - Too early to tell - it just makes me disillusioned when Euro members talk about the "big freeze" and at the same time homes are destroyed and lives are lost. We simply don't know the extent or potential of these tornadic activities, especially on this scale.
Concerning jaggeroo's comment for not using OT for this topic - seems like the least of issues at this point - I guess cold weather is more imvportant than catastropic Tornadoes...
I can find all info on what ever in the news, I have no idea why news of what ever should be posted here. of course news of a tornado or earthquake or whatever, is important, but is it necessary to post it here? We´ll get that kind of news anyway by watching TV if it´s important enough, right?
Just my 2 cents..

You're right - however-
Cold Weather in Europe was publisized relentlessly on this board. It seems when America takes a hit and noone gives a shit.
Boy - someone needs to get HAPPY. Sorry you're having a bad day. Didn't mean to degrade IORR by chatting about weather with some fellow "IORR-mates." And the last line was A JOKE. ...BTW - Brian Williams is the news anchorman of NBC (National Broadcasting Company). Which is akin to the BBC. My apologies - I was writing to the U.S. folks who were posting on this thread.Quote

memphiscatsYup = both sides are right - the storms are awful but the fear-mongers suck. BTW - Outbreak is correct to describe this event. I've the nat'l news on now - and if Outbreak is good enough for Brian Williams and friends - then I think it's acceptable usage on IORR. And I think weather could be deemed on-Stones topics...born in a cross fire hurricane...Quote
Max'sKansasCityRight on.Quote

Exactly Max, especially something like this that you grow up seeing or hearing all the time. I always feel that while news can be bad and we do care, at any given moment something just as bad or worse is happening somewhere else but it's not getting the media coverage. If we took it all personal we'd only worry and cry 24/7.
What and where and who the news choose to report/care about and what it chooses to ignore always puzzles me. I was especially disgusted with the fear mongering and hyping hurricane season for a couple years after Katrina, hyping it so heavy... and then when there wasnt another direct hit....they wnadered on to something else to scare us to death... like.... OMG !!!! FIVE DOLLAR GAS!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
Very far fetched, if going by that, no topic is OT. But I don´t really care, The detoriation of IORR continues...BTW, I don´t know why Brian Williams or his potential friends, who ever they are, justifies a post in IORR, never heard of the guy or his friends...and I think that goes for a lot of people here..
YEAH - AMEN - ROCK ON HANSIE & MAX'S & all the good people here on IORR!Quote

It was NUTS. Southern Indiana got smashed. We live a bit north of Louisville off I-71 so all of the major stuff went to the north and south of us. We got slammed with winds, just no rotation.
I ended up going nextdoor, shooting pool with my neighbor and drinking some whiskey. Ha!
Good for you man. I have some friends in Cinccinatti and when I heard that their was tornados in Indiana and Kentucky. Got freaked a bit.But talked to tehm and it wasn't that bad in their area.Quote

Thanks! We're lifting up prayers for the folks affected by this storm. Southern Indiana and Tennessee were hit very very badly.
