Here we go at 4:00 PM again. Do you believe this? They are becoming clock work.

That is a substantial shelf cloud. People need to be taking shelter now. The upper level rotation is where the water vapor is, not on the ground.

Waiting until the rotation starts if foolish. Completely foolish. Then there is something like 15 minutes to take shelter. This is nonsense. God forbid people should lose a moment of production from their work environment to be cautious.

Do Oklahomans every learn? Do they think for a living or do they like laughing death in the face?

Is this the most dysfunctional culture ever witnessed? The USA spends millions, if not billions on warnings and then add the monies to recover the lives of these people and they can't even act prudently in their own interest? What the heck is that mess?

Hell, I don't know, maybe life insurance pays better than their life time of earnings from work.

I am suppose to care about this and people can't even protect their own lives when this level of threat exists. Whatever happened to 'Better go home, take the rest of the day off. Go take care of your children." What happened to that? It is better the people of Oklahoma City stay on the job and laugh death in the face because God is on their side? Is that it? It is a game of 'Dare Devil?' Adult version?

A Tornado Watch is not enough? You actually have to see the debris before it becomes an emergency?

That is bullshit. My orientation is that when there is a tornado watch I take cover and wait for an all clear before standing down from an emergency warning. That has been my orientation from the time I was a child. This is screwed up values if I ever witnessed any.
