    Default Worst tornadoes in recent history!

    Oh man, these tornadoes are just awful!!! How horrible! 47 confirmed dead as I type this.

    Full story. WOW, it's up to 48 already.

    Please, southern members from the affected states, check in and let us know if you are okay and if you need anything we can help you with.

    No, I wouldn't have time to get out of their path. Usually storms and tornadoes don't scare me, but after reading that it is scary. Storms that come through here don't really produce tornadoes or cause much damage, if they do produce tornadoes they don't reach the ground or are too small to do any damage, but with how crazy the weather is changing you never know what could happen anymore

    Survived in Nashville last night, but I'm in NC today. Hopefully it's not as bad as it was yesterday.

    The storm ripped open a natural gas line outside of Nashville and the flames are 400-500 feet in the air. You can see it from 40+ miles away. I hate tornadoes. Rain and wind don't scare me, but tornadoes do...

    And I was bitching about three inches of snow until I turned on the news.

    Latest report is 52 dead. My prayers to everyone down South. Stay safe. Today might be a repeat.

    I got a hold of my brother's room mate....He says the tornadoes missed his in-laws by a mile and left fatalities in their county. Shit.

    Everyone down there, stay safe, and let us know if you need anything.

    I saw on the news how it ripped through a university and took out almost all the dorms. Luckily no one was hurt but the dorms are pretty much gone.

    Ha ha, Union University was hit. They're a fundamentalist Christian school. Wonder if they're all sitting around today trying to find out who had sex and brought G-d's punishment upon them all?

    He must be angry at Jackson, TN in general. This is the third time that its been hit in the last ten years.

    Ok, I know it's wrong for me to laugh, but that made me gigggle. I've met a couple people that go there and they really were the type of people that believe bad things happen to punish bad people. I'm going to hell for creating lust in people's hearts.

    Who had sex, did drugs, or watched porn on that campus? It's their fault.

    Not to mention what the damage was: the dorms were destroyed.

    Somebody totally got laid in that dorm... or jerked off. It was a den of sin and it was destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah.

    I've got candles on my altar for the south. I was going to do my (late) Imbolc ritual, but I'm now sure I can celebrate such a happy Sabbat when I know this is going on.

    NC is going to be ok. The storms have weakened and there are no threats here. It still looks kinda bad in some parts of SC, the Florida panhandle and mostly Georgia right now. I don't think it is going to be near as bad as yesterday though. Thank God.

    Thank god for Husbands and snowblowers. haahaa

    They just found an 11 month old boy face down in a field 330 yards from his wrecked trailer. He survived, but his mother did not.

    You're right, these are the worst tornados...until the next ones come through. There is something innately terrifying about tornados, especially the invisible killers that strike at night. I have friends in California, and I ask them if earthquakes, mudslides, floods, forest fires, avalanches scare them. They sometimes have all at once-their answer almost always is " yeah, but you guys have tornados, fuck that"

    In all honesty, I think I'd rather deal with the tornadoes. For all the wrath of God like destruction that you're seeing on the news, the damage footprint they make in comparison to other types of disasters is relatively small.

    And as long as people are somewhat alert, they're pretty easy to survive with all the modern warning technology available. The storms that hit the South on Tuesday night would have killed 150+ just a few decades ago.
