I sincerely hope everyone in the area is seriously thinking about evading these tornadoes. People have to have a plan. That includes the National Guard and emergency workers. We don't need to lose any more precious people including those providing care for the injured and aggrieved.
I sincerely hope there is still some type of sound system still standing in the devastated areas to make any people still there aware of incoming danger. I am serious. There needs to be a public address system or sirens put in place in these areas that will warn people of any tornadoes. The systems that were there are gone.
I would never presume to think lightning would not strike twice.
The US House opened their session with a brief recognition of the tornado.
The US Senate opened with a pledge by Senator Reid to commit unconditional support for those effected by the tornadoes.
That is all very good, but, the Congress needs to make a commitment to addressing the Climate Crisis. This is the fifth day in a row where citizens are facing down death with the assistance of dedicated professionals. Acknowledgement and pledging assistance is the least any Congressperson can do, it is time to do more and make the nation a safer place by addressing legislation with the leadership of the Executive Branch and US EPA.
