Some years have a lot of outbreaks and other years are quiet. Reminds me a lot of 2011 in Tuscaloosa and Joplin and the tornadoes that hit Moore, OK (three times from 1999-2013)

You can’t imagine that they need to start building houses out of steel

[gamingtonight]

In an area for tornadoes and you build wooden houses?!! Have you not heard the story of the three little pigs in the U.S.?

I saw an angel in 2009 bring an F4 through Georgia. God has had enough.

Same the opéra warren? it's sad poor people i agree with Michael 😔

Build concrete homes that can resist a category 5 hurricane. Learn from the way rich people are building their home in the islands in the Caribbean. Look at the old stone homes of the islands in Scotland and how they resist the winds and storms of that trecherous North Sea.

Sorry about your loss
What you Americans need to realize is karma is real
You can't destroy other economies with your sanctions and expect to prosper
