Re: Moore, OK tornado
Oh yeah, was just listening in on this news. The storm is still going strong as well.
They got hit pretty hard though, 51 deaths is a lot in this day and age for tornadoes.

Re: Moore, OK tornado
If the first thing they say is to "pray" and not to "help" there's a pretty big priority problem there brah

Re: Moore, OK tornado
if you make an image macro to upload to the internet you can imagine that your primary audience would be those who dont live in the immediate area and are able to physically help. i dont think the bystanding locals would browse the internet to get the latest updates on their situation compared to their five or so local news stations covering the story as it develops.
this nitpicking from wc is an example of the internet's passive aggressive atheism movement. even after posting that img macro i really, really doubt carlos will go fly to OK for relief effort on topic: im glad the official death toll is lowering. scary situation

Re: Moore, OK tornado
Let's hope that death toll doesn't climb anymore. Listened to a news report that still says officials are unsure of the final value for casualties. I really hope that no more are found - thoughts go out to the unfortunate people, families, friends affected by this storm.

Re: Moore, OK tornado
Please be quiet. You make it sound like the people who have been praying for Oklahoma did something wrong. Just please be quiet.

Re: Moore, OK tornado
rofl remember when people were tolerant of the saying "pray for" given the fact that 73%-76% of US citizens identify themselves as christians and the families of the lost lives thanked everyone for their prayers themselves?
What dumb asses let them have their sense of hope haha Deepest sympathy to OK and the families, OK's infamous frequent tornado status unfortunately stands strong
