    Which is why we shouldn't generalize and pick on the number of those who do pray and had the ability to help, when we can compare it to the much larger number of those who can't even be bothered to acknowledge the reality of that situation because they're too caught up in their own little world like the rest. Across the spectrum people are going to half ass their efforts in any sort of institution or belief system. I just don't get why we had to pick on those who took seconds out of their day to in some way acknowledge a desperate situation, regardless of whether it actually achieves any sort of thing. If anything, that collective momentary acknowledgement almost seems to create a ripple effect of action hence the massive church relief efforts you see in the south when these big tornadoes hit from time to time.

    Anyway, I live right by fallen and was thinking the same thing about the storm. I couldn't imagine a storm coming through tearing asunder. It gets crazy enough here sometimes you could hear ambulance sirens for a straight hour non stop in my area str8 torrential downpour.

      Maybe it's just me, but if I knew someone was praying for me, it gives me a sense of comfort. trust me..if i lost my house, my car, and my city, i would need some.

        I was looking up information about the recent tornado, and my heart just sank. This tornado was an EF-5, but...

        ...the fastest wind-speed ever recorded in a tornado was 318 MPH, and... it too, was in Moore. To have to live through two EF-5 tornadoes within 15 years... I couldn't even imagine. My thoughts and condolences go out to everyone in the area.

          'They could have saved the people from this inevitable instantaneous death inflicting weather disaster if only every single person in the area hadn't been praying. Prayer is solely to blame. Oh yeah and condolences to the families or w/e'

            But how do you stop a tornado from pulling apart your house even with other people coming down to help? I don't think you can fight off a tornado. If people weren't joining the path of the tornadoes destruction and decided to remain outside it whilst praying, I think they were making a smart move.

            It's about what happens after the disaster not before/during Ohaider IMO ~_~ I mean what really can you do that's helpful while the tornado is still amok? Some people hope for the best, some people pray, but nobody is standing in front of the tornado with a shield and sword.

              By far the most dumbest post I've seen in awhile.

                        TRUTH: The Westboro Baptist Church is currently in Norman, Oklahoma awaiting the perfect time to picket the funerals of the children that passed away in the recent tornadoes.

                        This has been circulating the internet and around Oklahoma. The one thing I have learned is that Okies stick together and they are not allowing Shirley and her sickened society to spread their disgusting message.

                          I am kind of surprised nobody has just murdered all those people yet. The westboro people.

                            Can't that church be closed down and all its members put under trial? I don't understand.

                              Non violent protests, they aren't really doing anything illegal. They are just assholes.

                                Me too. Really, it's incredibly surprising to me that they haven't been assassinated.
