1. Rapture!

:yoiks: :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Facebook's all over it.

:)

Hope no one was hurt and all raptured safely.

5. Yeah, tornados are some funny shit.

I'm sure everyone with loved ones in the area are just yucking it up.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. They're also everyday occurrences in that part of the country....

Everything doesn't have to make us gasp and grasp our collective chests.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. No they aren't every day occurrences

We haven't had any here where I live this season. This is the first one I've heard about this spring.

And they still kill people.

[Joe the Revelator]

9. I know you live there and all but...

They would appear to be pretty common in the area during the spring.

10. Yes they are common. But every day is a lot more than common.

LOL

[Joe the Revelator]

11. I know what your saying but "everyday occurrence " is a pretty common turn of phrase...

Hope you and yours are safe :)

7. A big tornado hit Topeka in the 60s

21. It was meant to be a RAPTURE joke.

I know tornados aren't funny--I'm not laughing at them.

3. With any luck it hit Fred Phelps' house......

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. As long as none of his neighbors were hurt, I'm okay with that

[deminks]

12. Now on the ground northeast of us in Jefferson Co. New storm

forming overhead. The NWS said the tornado threat is actually increasing.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Just starting to look bad here

No rain yet but scary clouds.

[malaise]

14. Stay safe

:grouphug:

[Swede]

15. Stay safe,hope you've got a storm cellar.

No,this is not a thread for folks to be making jokes in.

[Terra Alta]

16. I hope it destroys the Wesboro compound and nothing else.

I wonder how Phelps and his cult would try and spin that.

[hfojvt]

17. turns out I may be raptured

the old fashioned way.

There's this guy on TV who has this faith in something he calls "doppler radar".

I remain skeptical, of course, but these sirens are kinda freaking me out a little.

I am reminded what Stephen King wrote in one of the Bachman books "Someday emergency crews will stop scaring the crap out of people they are coming to rescue ..."

The thunder doesn't help either, especially since it is not raining.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. I hate it when it doesn't rain

I know they say it isn't true but for so many years they told us if it was raining a tornado wouldn't touch down. So now when there is a storm but no rain, I go back to when I was little kid and the grownups were scared because it wasn't raining.

18. You people in Kansas stay safe. n/t

[FarLeftFist]

20. !

[Shagbark Hickory]

22. That's not even touched down. This is a non-story.
