Tornados today Joplin, MO

Holy cra.... Joplin MO was hit by a massive tornado this afternoon. Their hospital sustained heavy damage and was on fire ... multiple buildings gone in town.

Another tornado hit the Twin Cities, one dead in Minneapolis.

If this is tornado season, I don't want to see hurricane season.

Been watching a live stream on the Weather channel. Very devastating.

Yeah, you're much better for politicizing the tragedy.

Four more years:tro:

Love your list of candidates:zz:

Although I'm about as far away from Obama as could be he belongs in Joplin like he belonged with the Seal team during the bin-Laden raid.

Though I'd like to see is him tell Egypt and Pakistan we had an emergency come up at home and divert that $5 billion to Joplin.

i still remember when arlington jim complained about dt politics being dominated by liberals. i think he was talking about dell. it surprises me when he still occasionally makes a hit/run post here.

credit to dt conservatives. they at least can stand to hear a contrary opinion on occasion and still manage to come back.

Never seen anything like this. Always tornados in the spring but it is amazing the lethal nature of them this spring especially with warning systems and horns in place.

In Wake of Tornado, Official Says 1,500 Are Unaccounted For

It's hard to find 1500 people when their bodies have been pulverized into bits and pieces, and spread across 70 miles of storm travel. It's so sad, no closure for their relatives.

Two rescuers were struck by lightning last night - they had more storms. They were harmed but will live. More tornados this afternoon in Texas.

The Presidents statement upon arrival in England. Obama did visit Tuscaloosa. He'll be in Joplin Sunday. FEMA has been on the ground there as soon as it happened.

Quote:

Winfield House

London, England

10:34 A.M. BST

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. Before the day starts here in England I wanted to say a few words about the devastating storms that we’ve seen in Missouri and Minnesota and across the Midwest.

Like all Americans, we have been monitoring what’s been taking place very closely and have been heartbroken by the images that we’ve seen in Joplin, Missouri, in particular. The devastation is comparable and may end up exceeding some of the devastation that we saw in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, just a few weeks ago.

So far we know that over 100 people lost their lives. Others remain missing, and hundreds more are injured. And obviously, our thoughts and prayers are with the families who are suffering at this moment. And all we can do is let them know that all of America cares deeply about them and that we are going to do absolutely everything we can to make sure that they recover.

These storms often strike without warning, as we saw a little further south over the last couple of weeks. And it’s going to be important for us to make sure that we are sustaining our efforts at rebuilding after the news cameras leave. We can make sure that the families and communities upended by these storms have everything they need to pull through. And in that regard, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano as well as I have spoken with Missouri Governor Jay Nixon. We’ve offered him not only our condolences, but we’ve told him that we will give him every ounce of resources the federal government may have that we can bring to bear on this situation.

At my direction, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and Deputy Administrator Rich Serino have traveled to Missouri to make sure our federal government is working hand in hand with state and local officials to give them the help that they need. And on Sunday, I myself will travel to Missouri to talk with folks who’ve been affected, to talk to local officials about our response effort and hopefully to pray with folks and give them whatever assurance and comfort I can that the entire country is going to be behind them.

Now, these storms that came this weekend obviously compounded what has already been an extraordinary storm season throughout the Midwest and in the South. We understand that there are more storms that are forecast today, so the thing I think I want to emphasize more than anything else, it is critical that Americans in affected areas heed storm warnings and take the lead of your local officials.

I know that a lot of people are wondering how they’ll get through the coming days or months or even years, but I want everybody in Joplin, everybody in Missouri, everybody in Minnesota, everybody across the Midwest to know that we are here for you. The American people are by your side. We’re going to stay there until every home is repaired, until every neighborhood is rebuilt, until every business is back on its feet. That’s my commitment, and that’s the American people’s commitment.

Thanks very much.

END

So what you're indirectly saying is this isn't that big of a deal compared to 9/11 because the government can't take more of our rights away because of a tornado.

Funny what constitutes priority for these fake politicians/fake Christians.

Party on, Barrington.

BTW was that statement dated 24 May 2008?

:D:D:D

He's a fake. A phony Christian. He's been to church like 3 times in 28 months.

He doesn't know what year it is half the time. Dude is in a zombie trance.

The pictures ive seen are un-real...will try to post

i believe it's sam.

if any of this is already posted elsewhere, my apologies...

when i first started seeing pictures, the first thing i thought of was beirut. the trees looked like trees from fredericksburg during our civil war. just brutal.

isnt it wiley coyote

Wondering if Ob's visit would be more of a hindrance......Would they or Do they want to see him right now?????

I agree with this..Left or right Prez..who wants to see him circling in a helicoptor? I mean..those poor people need tangible help, not moral support.

That's ridiculous. Those people need all types of support. The President represents this country whether we like it or not.

Not showing up until Sunday is poor form...especially when you're partying in Ireland and England.

In both Tuscaloosa and Joplin, the Director and Deputy Director of FEMA were both there within 24 hours (I think it was 12).

Both areas were declared disaster areas by the President at FEMA's request before they even left Washington for the site (as opposed to previously, when FEMA heads waited to get on-site before requesting the declaration).

The MO senators and congressmen toured Joplin yesterday. The Democrats flew in helicopters, the Republicans went on the ground. This is:
A: Too early in the process, they got in the way!
B: Too late in the process, they ignored the citizens!
C: It doesn't matter, they are not the President!

Seems you think your cursing reflects on me, not you. Believe me - it's you.

D.

was added because of your overall tone, Riot. You are offensive without using curse words because you're a typical liberal coward.

Say what you really mean, woman. You are a fraud.

Forgive me for thinking that one of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. History is more important than grab-a.ssing in Ireland and Ping Ponging it up in London.

But I'm sure he's getting tons of work done. :rolleyes:

I say exactly what I mean. Especially to insecure misogynistic cursing men like you, who dare to lecture me on "my tone". and try to use that as an excuse to blame me for making them curse me and call me names.

Yeah. That's not gonna happen. You're being a loser is not my fault.

You feel it's more important for our president to kiss ass to foreigners while hundreds of AMERICANS are dead or missing from multiple tornadoes.

You are a c.unt. No question. Deal with it.

No, I think it's more important for you Obama haters to worry about something more important than the details of a fly over by the President, who already sent every help and federal resource he could immediately (yets gets no credit for that from the haters); and all the ramifications of canceling a diplomatic tour arranged a year in advance.

And you're a sorry example of a man. Deal with that, instead of trying to pathetically blame me for it.

Spin away.

You can try and dismiss facts with the typical mindless "Hater" retort that libtards are stealing from hip hop culture. The fact remains that Obama thinks living the high life with a meaningless vacay to Potato Land and Fish and Chips Isle is far more important than the people of the flyover states.

Either that or he's mentally retarded and can't process that people in this country are suffering greatly and as the figurehead of this country he should be there supporting them instead of taking ridiculous pictures with Cameron and a couple of dumb Micks.
