American Tornado.

Postby Devils Advocate » Tue May 21, 2013 9:33 am

Those guys are suffering over there recently.

But.................did anyone see the old lady being interviewed live on air? She was dazed, and very upset with her home flattened and her dog buried under it, probably dead :cry: As the interview was nearing the end the little fella poked his nose out of the wreckage and rubble and he was dragged out unharmed.

Made my day today seeing that :thumbup:

I don't know why the initial death rate was estimated to be so high (91) now it is down to 24, probably people were missing for a while and turned up later or pulled out of collapsed buildings alive. Still an incredible amount of devastation.

A terrible disaster - and so many childen killed too. Makes you appreciate European weather - at least there is no tornado alley weither in Spain or the UK, nor do we (as a rule) get hurricanes, whiteouts, volcanic eruptions although I do remember Lorca (?) having an earthquake.

We moan about the cold weather we have been having, but compared to the tornado it is nothing!

Another little dog who survived the tornado, thankfully:-

What a nice story, it's good to be reminded sometimes that there are still decent people in the world looking out for each other.
