There is some serious climatic suckage going on in the weather systems in North America lately.

I do not think I would be wanting to live on the open prairie, anywhere near a river or shoreline, at the base of Mt St. Helen

maybe the 19th century pioneers were on to something with their sod bunkers

God bless....truely unbelievable the distruction that mother nature can unleash. 


The American spirit will prevail, and the town will be rebuilt, but I can't help but ask WTF this country will leap to its feet for foreign disasters (Haiti anyone??) but could care less about our own....

Joplin:

Disastrous.  Its difficult to imagine how a community recovers from such universal devastation  .

Mother Nature has been unusually bloody mean to this planet in recent times.

   The scary thing is that Joplin looks like that for 6 MILES! Gonna be a long recovery.

Deadly floods in QLD...  followed by the Mother-of-all-Cyclones (that fortunately never was). 

I can sympathize with the OP. Down here in Alabama, you all heard about T-Town, and saw some of the pictures online, but they do it no justice whatsoever. I've never seen such sheer violent, and random destruction in my life. I pray the people of Joplin recieve the same amount of selfless care we recieved down here. I'm prraying for every town in the US that was affected by Tornadoes this year. It's been a weather blender as of late.
