I'm so thankful no one was killed last night. Our state has seen alot more tornados and deaths this year. I heard on a Little Rock station that the tornado alley line has shifted more east which means that Arkansas is further in the tornado alley zone than before. Our county in NW Arkansas has seen more tornado activity this year as well. We had two funnel clouds go over us just this week. Thank goodness our state is getting a break.

Count on it getting worse.

And, why would that be? I hope you aren't hinting 'global warming" is the cause. Some idiot politician blamed global warming for the tornado that blew through his area this past winter. A scientist said he was full of crap. No connection between global warming and tornadoes.

FYI: there's no connection between global warming and hurricanes, either.

That's odd. Every single scientist not being paid by big Oil says the opposite. That we can expect an increase in weather disturbances such as tornados and hurricanes.

But hey. You're a burger flipper at Micky-D's. Your findings are much more accurate, I'm certain. You should, in fact, see if you can get a cabinet level position at the White House.

Dio-dipshcit,

Every single scientist says we can expect more tornados and hurricanes. It's due to the natural warming cycle of the Earth. But to suggest that humans are causing the warming - or even accelerating it - is the crackpot fever-dream rantings of an ex-vice president and the stupefying amount of people who hang on his every word. And every single scientist worth their salt has refuted this, and wisely distanced themselves from him.

And why are you insulting the thousands of people who work for Burger King? Most of them work full time, accrue vacation pay, have great healthcare benefits and are earning more money than you.

Guess again, dope head. Plenty of peer-reviewed studies say no connection. Oh, and I have a master's degree, ya moron.

"Climate and weather experts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA said today there is zero evidence at this point that global warming is causing more frequent or stronger tornadoes."

What an idiot.

I agree. Its not like hurricanes and tornados just started

happening a few yers ago. I recall reading about a hurricane

that occurred in 1938.I'm sure these natural phenomena have

been happening longer than man has been on the planet. I

don't however have any proof of that

Of course! ABSOLUTELY global warming is a factor. But you go ahead and believe your junk science, dumbass!

"Tornado Sweeps Through Little Rock, Ark."

Officials are reporting the devastating loss of all of the Clinton's income tax returns, all the files on the Whitewater scandal, and all of Hillary's dealings while at the Rose Law firm. Also destroyed was every shred of evidence implicating the Clintons to the 40-odd "mysterious deaths" of people who were closely associated with them and/or their activities over the past 20 years. "It's amazing", says Little Rock mayor, Mark Stodola, of the missing documents. "It's as if the tornado knew exactly what it wanted". Little Rock Chief of Police, Jess 'Doc' Hale could not be reached for comment, since he allegedly committed suicide during Bill Clinton's Arkansas governorship twenty years ago. But authorities say this is not uncommon. Many, MANY people associated with the Clintons over the years have been found dead under mysterious circumstances.

CONT.

"It's no big deal", said Stodola, who, flanked by his security guards, got into his bullet-proof SUV and drove off to survey further damage. Stay tuned for further updates....

Were the hundreds of millions of "missing" emails from the Bush administration kept in Little Rock, too? Or maybe Bush's original military records?

No. Strangely, those were trotted out years ago by the Libs, in a lame attempt to "find something". But like most Liberal enterprises, it was all baloney and precious little action.

It's not baloney when the Bush administration's broken laws regarding the retention of records and all those records happen to be missing around the times of various criminal investigations that oddly enough seem to terminate just below the executive branch but involve BushCo's closest friends.

As someone who always seems to claim that the rule of law and constitution should be followed, I'm frankly surprised that you're not upset over any side destroying documents or communications that they are required by law to retain.

But then you're a partisan. You'd do anything to keep BushCo afloat.

Ya know, I am no fan of Hillary...and Lord knows I can't stand Bush....

But this a news report about a very frightening storm. And seeing it pass to the west through the lightening as I watched from my top floor apartment was surreal.

Do you partisans (and I know I'm one too) think you can possibly comment on the story without bringing politics into it?

That conversation belongs on another thread.

Since my first comment I have heard of one confirmed death in Little Rock. My prayers go out to the family.

O.K., everyone...I'm still here.

As many of you already know, I live in Little Rock. The amount of damage in my area of town was really not to bad...lot's of down trees though. But when I went to work this morning, the further west I went the more apparent the severity of this storm. I heard about the 2-year old girl drowning this morning and I was heartsick.
