Yeah, I've been known to be upstairs looking outside while the family is downstairs.
I'm frightened (a lot) when one is on the way and surprisingly stupid when one might be right overhead.
Moth to a flame?

I have been in the eye of a severe storm (proven by the radar given from the media; it was freaky), and have seen funnels nearby. But never in a tornado, as in its path/destruction area, etc.

Ditto that. And I'm working on heading to OKC for the relief.

Not exactly sure how this is "Nice Planet", but I'm sorry to see that sort of thing happen.

Actually it might be the most literal translation of the topic yet. I think it fits perfectly.

Maybe I'm just way too used to the articles about jerks in our world.

After the past few months, we're at the point now where we can pretty much recite the American tragedy script from memory.
CNN will grotesquely screw up the facts in coverage. The media won't be able to resist sticking cameras into victims' faces for the next month (and we'll lap it up because we're sheep.) Someone will say this is God's punishment for t3h gh3ys/abortion/the way the kids dress these days/recording a baseball game without the express written consent of Major League Baseball. Some atheist will go rubbing the Christians' noses in the whole thing. Westboro Baptist Church will show up and picket/troll for lawsuits. Some asshat will start a donation scam. Some guy with a funny haircut or T-shirt will do something silly and go viral. Someone will play the race card. Congress will spend 96 hours blaming each other for not doing enough to help. Congress will spend 96 hours blaming each other for screwing up the help.
What'd I miss?

The co-founder of the "Daily Show" cracking wise about how the storm targeted only Republicans. Sad.

You understand it was a joke right? To illustrate the stupidity of certain pundits who said Hurricane Sandy targeted only liberals because it barreled into blue states like NJ, NY, CT, RI and MA.

The usual suspects around here will find a way to tie this to politics.

It doesn't matter. There is a time to hold your piece. And when they're still digging the bodies of children out of the rubble, that's one of those times. Jeebus, are you even theoretically capable of not arguing Tu Quoque?

Who cares what their reasons are for helping? The point is...THEY'RE ****ING HELPING!. They're probably doing more to help than all of their detractors combined...
I was discussing something similar with Armadillo last night regarding Glenn Beck convoying 2 semis of supplies there from Dallas and the crap he was catching because he was "doing it for the wrong reasons."

Miraculously, the death toll is apparently much lower than initially thought. Every headline or report reminds me of something from May of '99. That storm took fewer than 50 lives. And given its size and power (over 300 mph) and the extent of the damages (6,000 homes destroyed) that, too, was miraculous.
Then, as now, there will be an effort to get personal belongings back to people whose homes have been destroyed. Folks living well away from the damage will find photos, mementos and keepsakes from people they don't know in their yards. In '99, this material was gathered in a central location and victims came to see if they could reclaim their irreplaceable items.
The '99 storm sideswiped Tinker AFB. Turned out a lot of those folks ride. The stables were destroyed and many of the horses sustained unimaginable injuries. Me telling you those horses looked like somebody had been hacking at them with a machete doesn't begin to convey those injuries. I was sent to report on a large animal vet who had begun to care for the horses the afternoon of the storm and worked though the night and well into the next day patching them up. When I arrived, the horses were ambulatory. They weren't going to win any beauty contests, but they were alive and recovering.
One of the most famous pieces of video from that storm was of an infant that had been sucked out of her mother's arms and was found in a tree! Alive! A Grady county deputy put the child on the hood of his cruiser to do triage. The whole thing was captured on the dash cam. This big man, carefully checking out those little arms and legs, looking for breaks or other injuries. There weren't any. The baby was wet, dirty, cranky, hungry and needed a change, but was otherwise okay.

You say that, but the former president and the former mayor of New York City were canonized for refusing aid offered for political reasons after Katrina and 9/11.

GD it! Why don't you for once give up your passive aggressive bull sh*t? Just give it a rest for a day or two. At least until the death count is final. What the h*ll is wrong with you?
