Cute seeing the 2 brothers on the tractor. You can tell the older brother is a very protective brother. That is the best older brother to have. Although I couldnt help getting the impressions that the older brother sound a bit irish.

Third most active tornado season on record? Those other two seasons must have been something else.

Next up, the California wildfires.
And, like these tornadoes, your best bet is to not be there when they happen.
And the cycle continues... unabated.

Trump would use a nuclear weapon to destroy the tornado....

I am wondering if Is it that we built houses where tornadoes are prominent or are there more tornadoes than 60 years ago?

Soon, no one will be able to afford paying out for disaster relief and for insurance claims. These storms are getting more frequent and more powerful each year that goes by. We’re done for.

As severe weather continues to impacts new areas of the U.S. and around the globe, we all need to try and make better choices when we relocate our families to new areas. I like to think of this opportunities in moving to new areas as looking back at how settlers at the turn of the century would pick there areas to made a home. With this said it is always a good idea to look into areas that are stable and high like the the mountain areas away from flat land that will cause Tornadoes and coastal areas that will see repeated flooding. If we all use common sense and basic intelligence we can come up with an area were we can be as safe as possible to live out our lives. Thanks

The U.S. continues to see tornadoes effecting areas of the U.S. that has never been seen before. These storms reaching further into the east then before places like Ohio Tenn. Kentucky Indiana just to name a few. And as time moves forward these weather patterns will continue to move out of there normal areas and into new territory. We all need to be vigilant and prepared for what is coming in the future

I hope those that were protected and safe, Give serious thanks to God for their safety and prayers for and to others.

I’m curious …since so much of America is prone, and always has been, to devastating tornadoes why isn’t every home built with a tornado proof bunker underground? Built so that it’s livable until their homes can be rebuilt. I realize that so many Americans live in trailers so they would need a place to go that’s tornado proof. I also know that the majority of Americans are very poor and couldn’t afford to build these bunkers but why doesn’t their govt supply the money to build them? My husband’s family came from America (Oklahoma) but moved to Canada before he was born but they still have a lot of family living down there. It’s so sad to see how they live! And they think they’re just as well off as the rest of America but realize when they come to Canada that they’re living like paupers. Everyone has always had jobs so it’s not like they don’t work. In fact there a couple of lawyers in the family! ….but my sister who is a lawyer here in Canada says she pays 10 times more in taxes each year than these American ‘lawyers’ make in a year! In fact as an accountant myself the ‘lawyer’ in America made 1/3 of what I do! I just don’t understand why so many Americans are so poor.
