Midwest tornadoes, winds slam towns and trucks; 6 killed in Illinois


I could not decide on what to copy/paste as it was all too much. Sorry. There is a picture gallery, here are 3 that struck me.


Firefighters stand in the middle of the street after a tornado leveled at homes in Washington, Illinois, on November 17.


The roof of a building sits in the middle of the road in Kokomo, Indiana, on November 17.


A firefighter, in lower center of photo, peers down into the home of a colleague whose home was destroyed when a tornado swept through Washington, Illinois, on November 17.

is hit in the face with it.

At least thats my prediction. Who was the Senator/Congress critter who's son developed some disease (AIDS?) several years ago (90's) then went on as a spokesperson.

Thats seems to be only way to wake em up is when it hits their own family. But who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Just the fact no action is happening to slow climate change is a scary thought.
