"Floods, Winds Strike Mo., Okla. and Texas"

[reichstag911]

Where are the fundie types to decry the sinfulness of these red states that brought the storms down on them?

from AP via Salon.com ( http://www.salon.com/wire/ap/archive.html?wire=D8HD4C9OL.html ):

May 04,2006 | SLEEPER, Mo. -- Stormy weather brought high winds and flash flooding to parts of Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas, sweeping a crowded van off a bridge and killing one of its passengers.

Areas of Tulsa flooded early Thursday, knocking out power for about 9,000 homes and businesses, Public Service Co. of Oklahoma spokesman Stan Whiteford said. Fire officials in Broken Arrow, which got up to 5 inches of rain, reported rescuing people from at least two vehicles.

Northeastern Oklahoma was under a flash flood watch through Thursday night.

In Missouri, the van was carrying eight people Wednesday when it tried to drive across a concrete slab over a creek bed that normally has little water, said Jonathan Ayres, the Laclede County emergency management director.

3. Thank you...

...I was starting to think almost no one here has a sense of humor (see http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1103281&mesg_id=1103281 if it's not locked down already)! Posted the exact same thing in GD and got flamed by someone in KC and someone else in TX. Do you see me making fun of tragedy? It's just a comment on the hypocrisy of the fundie preachers. Goddamn, this place really pisses me off sometimes.

"God works in mysterious ways." :sarcasm:

5. Lock - inflammatory

Not only is this not of national interest, but your comments are inflammatory.
I might point out that the weather has nothing to do with ones politics.
Please feel free to post in one of the state forums
