Conservatives blame gays for OK storm

Thanks for considering my safety, Clembo and all the people who have suffered because of these storms. Yes, we all certainly have our disputes on this forum, but I don't think any of us wish harm upon anyone.

 

"I don't think any of us wish harm upon anyone."

In all seriousness, I like this comment.

 

Well, IQLess1, you worthless excuse for a human being, your wish of a "tornado's unfinished business" came true. Only it wasn't in Oklahoma, it was in your buddy's neck of the woods in Illinois. There was even a woman who was killed by it. How do you feel about that? Be careful what you wish for.

Regardless of how much I despise you or how much I disagree with Little Joe, I would never wish you or him harm nor would I wish damage to your property or his. Speaking of which, how are you Little Joe? Did you sustain any damage? A tornado can be a terrible thing and I hope you weren't impacted by it.



Large tornado causes significant damage in central Illinois

FAIRDALE, Ill. (AP) — Supercell thunderstorms produced a large tornado that touched down Thursday night in northern Illinois, killing one person and injuring seven others in one tiny community as severe weather pummeled the Midwest.

One person was killed in Fairdale, an unincorporated town of about 200 residents, and seven were taken to area hospitals for their injuries, Matthew Knott, division chief for the Rockford Fire Department, said at a news conference early Friday.

Every home in the town was affected, authorities said. DeKalb County Sheriff Roger Scott said in a news release that approximately 15 to 20 were totally destroyed.

Authorities said that they were fairly confident there were no more victims among the debris but that they would be working Friday to account for every single resident, including those who may have left town before the storm.

The National Weather Service tweeted around 7 p.m. that a tornado was on the ground in nearby Rochelle and urged residents to seek shelter immediately.

Robin Biggs, an employee at the Super 8 motel in Rochelle, which is about 80 miles west of Chicago, said she took video of the storm, which she said "took everything out in its path."

"I have lived her 18 years, and I have never seen a tornado that big or stay on the ground that long. ... This just stayed down and went all the way across the horizon," she said.

Ogle County Sheriff Brian Van Vickle said in a news conference that about 20 homes there were severely damaged or destroyed, but no deaths or significant injuries were reported. Ogle County is adjacent to DeKalb County.

Van Vickle said 12 people were trapped in the basement of Grubsteakers, a Rochelle restaurant that collapsed during the storm.

One of those rescued from the restaurant, Raymond Kramer, 81, told Chicago's WLS-TV that he was trapped with 11 others in the storm cellar for 90 minutes. They were freed only after emergency crews removed debris that had fallen over them. He said none of those rescued was injured.

Kramer said he and his wife pulled over at Grubsteakers just moments before the tornado struck. He said he was taking photos of the storm from the doorway when the restaurant owner ordered everyone into the storm cellar.

Did you realize that was about 10 miles from Mr. RBGUPI? I hope his azaleas survived.

 

So far, it's been a mild season for tornadoes. That's about to change.

 

As it does every year around May. Nothing new there. Tornadoes in the Spring are as common as snow in Michigan in the Winter. Let's hope the damage from the tornadoes this season is minimal. Wouldn't you agree?

 

Those dern gays are gonna cause sooooo many ternaders in Okie-la-Home-a.

 

Gays could follow the republican format of restricting funds for people who live in poverty, keep them from being able to live in homes, force them to find food on the streets and make sure they can't receive any care at all in hospitals...

...if they WANT to be evil, that is.

Nah, gays understand that slowly killing off the lower caste isn't going to convince the middle and upper-classes that homosexuality is acceptable.

 

From what another GOP wing job says, the drought in California is the fault of the Democrats. I see Ms. Fiorina. The Democrats probably got her fired for HP too.

 

How about this infamous tweet from Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of Westboro Baptist Church founder, Fred Phelps: "We bow in humble thanks 2 God 4 Sandy! Thank God for a plain message delivered to a puddle of states that proudly flip Him off! #FagMarriage"
