Watching the news coverage or Moore, I still don't understand one thing... - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 19:50 20
- I'm sure its possible to build a basement on/in clay. we build tunnels under rivers etc. It will be the cost that's the issue -- nm - Karl_S May 21, 20:02
- Here, older homes have basements. The last house I owned was a tri-level and the bottom floor was half underground but that was it. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 19:53
- a. see b2....b. cause they all pray a lot.....c. they're okies, I mean we're talking about people decended from settlers who thought it was a great... - zeitgeist May 21, 19:53
- my post from b2: (essentially, the ground.) -- (link) - JaxSean May 21, 19:52 [Backboard] 16
  - Then as a follow-up question... - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 19:55 15
    - maybe an answer? From my friends who live(d) in tornado alley, most of them never encounttered a direct hit. It's not like an earthquake - loosi at home May 21, 20:02 5
      - But tornado sirens go off several times a year. It's peace of mind insurance -- nm - Bacon May 21, 20:03 4
        
        I dunno. just thinking aloud. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 20:05 3
        
        NBC just said onlly 10% of the homes have storm cellars or basements there. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 20:06 2
        
        they certainly know the dangers. I'm sure there is a good reason. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 20:12 1
        
        The cost to put them in a school is 1 million dollars per school -- nm - Bacon May 21, 20:13
    - That's a valid question. Basements are rare here, too. And if you do, it's called a "pool." -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 19:58 8
      - they're rare here, too - people think it's because of earthquakes and no need to protect pipes from freezing (we wish); but mostly it's because of - i.b! May 21, 20:09 7
        
        yikes, the basement is the absolute last place you should go in an earthquake. - loosi at home May 21, 20:23 6
        
        they can be designed to withstand (we do have some underground garages in some areas, plus hospitals/clinics with radiotherapy machines, etc.; but - i.b! May 21, 20:29
        
        Hah, when the San Fransisco quake hit I was sound asleep. So I just sat up in my bed and was trying to wake the fuck up. I just sat there and rode - Bacon May 21, 20:25 3
        
        when I was modeling earthquakes, worst case scenario by far was people sleeping at home. - loosi at home May 21, 20:28 2
        
        It's true. You simply need time to figure out what is going on. Your decision making brain isn't awake yet. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 20:29 1
        
        exactly this. I had NO idea what I was feeling. My co-working (from the west coast) yelled "It's an earthquake!" and that's what it took. - loosi at home May 21, 20:32

Why does the Lord get the credit if you survive a tornado but not any grief for allowing the tornado? -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:16 5
- 'Cause if you didn't survive the tornado, you're already talking to him. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 19:51

CNN can't catch a break. Wolf Blitzer to tornado victim: "You gotta thank the Lord". Victim: "I'm an atheist" -- (link) - ty97 May 21, 19:11 19
- At what point does an expression like "Thank the Lord" become merely a figure of speech? -- nm - Qale May 21, 19:41 3
  - Around the same time "praise Allah" does. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 20:20 1
    - PS: Death to America. -- nm - Qale May 21, 20:41
  - 2112. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 19:43

- BWAHAHAH -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 19:18
- wow -- nm - deus irae May 21, 19:14
- No. It's CNN's fault for trying to create the narrative, instead of just reporting it -- nm - con_carne May 21, 19:14 1
  - It's an assumption that everyone in Oklahoma must be religious I bet -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:15
- It's worse. He asked, Do you thank the Lord. Well that is a dumb question for a reporter to ask. -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:14 8
  - This, indeed. If he'd just stopped with "You gotta thank God", but to follow it up with "Do you thank God?"! WTF? -- nm - Mop May 21, 20:20
  - I know it's Oklahoma, but that's stupid. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 19:19 4
    - I can see a local television reporter doing it but not CNN. It's just weird -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:21 3
      - Why? 90% of the US believes in God. - ty97 May 21, 19:59 2

    - You know what won't be a rally cry for the right? Raising taxes to make sure every school has a storm shelter (this school didn't). - Bacon May 21, 19:05 15
      - Re your IM: in an F5, you probably still would pray. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 19:06 14
        
        I have thought about this, and I think I would swear. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 19:08 6

        This has generally been my default -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 19:10
        
        only if that was an exponent. -- nm - loosi at home May 21, 19:09 1
        
        Yeah, F5 is just what it takes to get the shelter doors closed. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 19:10
        
        If you are underground the F5 won't get you. They showed some of the storm shelters people hid in today on the news. They are still operational -- nm - Bacon May 21, 19:08 6
        
        MOST people didn't die today. MOST people were safe because of training and shelters. - loosi at home May 21, 20:29
