I know their are people that are on here that are in the danger zone, and I think we should all talk about it. If these people come here, we should try to help them any way we can.

Already, people are dead because of tornadoes in Iowa. Not sure about casualties in other states. I think we should keep every one that is in danger in our thoughts and prayers.

Here in Colorado we get at least 10 tornado warnings every summer. Most likely more, I never really keep count.

and I think we should all talk about it.

...talk about what? What we do when we hear the tornado sirens?

If these people come here, we should try to help them any way we can.

...how?

I think we should keep every one that is in danger in our thoughts and prayers.

That's nice, but no amount of wishful thinking is going to help anyone.

hmmm... tornadoes in the usa have ben there for thousends of years.
those people went living there and they knew about the tornadoes.
those people can also just move out of the danger zone. it's their own will to stay there.

sure it's bad but what your gonna do?
ask mother nature to stop? hahahaha.

it's like stoping earthquakes or stoping volcano eruptions.
are you realy serious?

Let's not get carried away with the whole prayer thing. Pun may or may not be intended. Decide based on your discretion and level of prudishness.

Wasn't going to go any further with it. Just pointing out that, since he says he wants to help, that praying won't help.

Si. I think I read somewhere that around 90-95% of the world's tornadoes occur in Tornado alley, which is mid USA.

those people went living there and they knew about the tornadoes.

It's common enough that when the sirens go off no one thinks much of it, we just turn on the news, look outside, open the windows to listen for it, and get all pets into the basement just in case. More annoying than anything else.

That was meant for him, not you.

What i dont understand is that when there is an earthquake/tsunami/natural disaster in any country, America sends millions of dollars in relief help to them, but not one country is helping the U.S. with the tornado relief...

I heard that Japan was one of the biggest sources of aid when hurricane Katrina hit new orleans. They donated millions

It used to be that way where I live, because the tornado sirens would go off if there was a warning anywhere in the county or adjacent counties, sometimes just for a tornado watch. Now it's narrowed to 10mi from the city limits, so if it goes off it means get underground immediately.

Typical American ignorance. That's all it really is. Other countries help us with disaster relief when we have disasters.

We like to gloat about our "good deeds" and "interventions around the world" but we never mention what anyone else does.

I think it's even worse than that for us. The other day the sirens went off and the tornado was like 60 miles away from where we were, and moving the opposite direction.

Aren't there tornadoes that kill people every year? What makes this year different from previous years?
