    so japan gets a quake and the thread is about 1000 replies and we have a worse disaster here that kills 250 and its only 2 pages ? wow.

    well like i said in the japan thread, this is also related to comet(blue star) elenin. i have several key dates of alignment from march 2011-october 2011. March 13 was a perfect alignment and ripped up japan, april-may 9 jupiter and saturn and sun are in perfect alignment and walla you get the worse tornados EVER. Some will say this is hogwash, that a comet cant do this, okay, then why are these disasters just so happen to appear on exact alignment dates and be on a scale worse than ever? These arent the only two. The chile quake last year was an alignment with elenin also.

    Thats why Im telling you sept-oct there will be a HUGE earthquake in USA(either san andreas,or garlock). Id stay away from arizona and california.Actually when the big one happens Houston will be under water from the polar shift. You die unless you got a canoe.But that is 2022. Thats the age of aquarius and the purification the Hopi warned about.

    I said sept 15, but the comet keeps changing speeds (which is normal and makes it hard to predict exact dates) now the worst appears to be oct 17-19. Also, May 9 looks bad and so does July . This is the "2012". Nothing happens in 2012. This is it. It will be bad,but 2022 is worse.

    That Andy Gabrielson is crazy. I know there's plenty of people who do it, but I won't be driving toward a tornado.

    you know how it works. audiences get numbed down to repeated events to where it doesn't even phase them. the japan tsunami was an attention getter all the way because of the nuclear power plants facet, the fact that they had awesome live coverage of the tsunami while it happened, the number of lives lost, whole towns swept away, cars being swallowed by it, etc. .

    yet, here in the US, it's tornado business as usual...except this was a historical outbreak from what is being said but many are used to tornado outbreak news events around these parts.

    if the media reported a tsunami as often as tornado destruction, then we would lose interest in that coverage as well. that's how it works. people become immune to bad news when there is so much exposure to it over the years. it's probably part of our coping mechanism.

    the media and news is so littered with depressing events like this...that you almost have to pick and choose which ones you care about because there are so many. it's almost like "oh...another murder". then, it's on to the next one.

    i can barely watch the media coverage and news these days because it's all depressing. i yearn for the good old days when i didn't know every single little thing that was going on everywhere in the world.

    holy lord, you're a truther, a birther, AND a cosmic superstition doomsday guy?

    this is just too good to be true.

    p.s. don't turn people dying from natural disasters into a f***ing popularity contest

    (edit: also hilarious considering this gem of a post you made in the japan quake thread... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6017509&postcount=90)

    250 should not have die from this tragedy. Someone really need to answer and put into place, inspection check to make sure every home have a concrete place for people to protect themselves from this.

    There are just too many variables that with that which would make it difficult in becoming a reality. It's almost like saying that people living on the coast should move because of hurricanes. I think what we do now is good, could it be better, sure but it is steadily getting better over time.

    Horsecrap. The Alabama tornado that was nearly 3/4 a mile wide and stayed on the ground that long, alone, should have killed more than that.

    He said the same kind of crap about Japanese people all moving inland after the Big One last month. Troll is troll.

    Quick update: I made it back to Houston today after a 10 hour drive. The University of Alabama has canceled classes for the rest of the semester, including finals which were suppose to start next week. I believe that at least 12 students have died so far. I'll post some pictures later on that I took right after the tornado hit.

    That look more like an earthquake that also hit by a tsunami. I can believe a tornado would be that destructive towards solidly built brick buildings supported by metal beams. What was the wind speed inside that vortex?
