Yes. Yes it is and it's spilling over into Canada and confusing all the Social Conservatives into thinking they are real Conservatives.

Dallas,TX under tornado watch.. temp dropped from 81F to 65F in less than 1hr..
Talking with my buddy in Arlington, Texas..
We were supposed to be the top end of the same high/low system over the weekend and get heavy rain and wind but missed.
There is always next week.
If SK were as populated as TX or OK, last year would have been horrifying.
Canada: more July tornadoes than US - The Weather Network

Well you stay safe Petros.. do you have a storm shelter where you work or a place to take shelter.. do you have a plan.. other than jumping into the tub and covering yourself with a mattress?
Yup, this old house had a cistern, now it's were we store the root veggie and canned goods in mason jars and bug out bags and most importantly, I have a wrench wired to the gas valve at all times.
Once in 83 was enough for me to know better. Even without tornados Prairie T-Storms are still killers that you run from.

Yes agreed.. but this is what I am talking about regarding partisan politics..
But it's an edgy, so-funny show man. These mouthy douchebags are trendy, inspirational. She's a funny guy. Yeah.
I suppose I wouldn't understand all that 'pork' stuff but it appears Inhofe dosen't understand it either, nor does he seem to understand how the storm Sandy moved. Because the storm damaged the US Virgin Islands and other areas as it moved and those areas wanted assistance as well he considered that 'pork' ?
And this statement he spurted yesterday shows his true ignorance/arogance (you decide).
“Everyone was getting in and exploiting the tragedy that took place,” he said. “That won’t happen in Oklahoma.”
Of course that 'same pork' won't happen because of the Oklahoma tornado simply because the tornado touched down in that town only and hence the damage is limited to a distinct area.
In the wake of the devastating tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) rejected comparisons between federal aid for this disaster and the Hurricane Sandy relief package he voted against.
That was a “totally different” situation, Inhofe told MSNBC, arguing that the Sandy aid was filled with pork. There were “things in the Virgin Islands. They were fixing roads there and putting roofs on houses in Washington, D.C.”
The senator appeared to be referring to the fact that some funds from the Sandy package for the Federal Highway Administration could go to the Virgin Islands, as well as $2 million allocated to the Smithsonian for roofs damaged by the storm. We don’t yet know what a congressional relief package for Oklahoma would look like, if one is even necessary. As of Tuesday morning, FEMA has $11.6 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund.
video of him telling me why I am a low information voter and don't understand 'pork'.......
Inhofe: Tornado aid ‘totally different’ from Hurricane Sandy aid

Before you vote, I'll assume you didn't read this part............
Actually my question is a play on the fight for Hurricane Sandy Federal Relief when Conservatives pondered why people 'live so close to the ocean, and if they do, they deserve what happened to them because they should have known better'............

Thankfully the number of dead has been reduced to about half that figure originally given. 24 dead including 9 children. Some of the children drown in the basement of the school. So very sad.
In an EF5 there's little chance of survival if directly hit and you're above ground. The problem with Oklahoma is that it's ground doesn't make for easy digging of underground shelters. It's seriously costly, but I agree with one comment I saw elsewhere, is the cost so much that it's more important than human - children especially- life? There's a mandatory law that says schools must keep kids there when a warning is issued so they're not on the road and more vulnerable.
I'd like to see what 'pork' was put into the Sandy stuff specifically that made these Reps vote against it, and how they can guarantee that someone won't put 'pork' into anything they want. I am glad assistance was signed quickly and it'll hopefully help but disasters happen to everyone, everywhere. To me, voting against assistance for any reason (come on, if there is pork added to bills, deal with it later somehow) is anti-human.
I also find it ironic that there'll be people who will be wanting/demanding Government help, and yet were likely or will likely be anti-"Big Government Helping People" once everything's over with. Situations like this bring out the hypocrite in everyone I guess.

Oh brother. People like you just don't get it. This is when government SHOULD help.
And guess what else... where do you think the government gets all that money? From those same people.
And how do you know what kind of people they were or will be.
Gosh you're a tard.
Chastising people for not having spent the money to protect themselves from a once in a lifetime event that might never happen to them, makes no sense. Especially since, from what I'm reading, your assertion is that they should dig basements and shelters, after how many children just died of drowning in the school basement?
Britain is the tornado capital of the world. It has more tornadoes per square mile than any other place in the world, more even than Tornado Alley.
But, thankfully, most of our tornadoes are only small ones which cause little damage so they rarely make the news.
Some of them are quite destructive, however, such as the Balsall Heath tornado which hit Birmingham on 28th July 2005 (below).
Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, is the tornado capital of Britain. It has been hit by 32 of them in the last 70 years.
Some other UK tornadoes:
This tornado rampaged its way through three counties - Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Buckinghamshire - in May 2012.
Damage caused by a tornado in Rugby, Warwickshire, in April 2012 on the same day that another tornado killed 20 chickens 200 miles away in Halstead, Essex
North Wales coast, August 2000

OMG..THE CHILDREN! Think of the children..
Think about a bank telling you to F off because the home you want is too expensive thanks to a useless $60K hole in the ground.
Putting kids out on the street because of a lack of affordable housing is far more cruel.
"Is that a stain on the map?" "No Bill, That's the UK" "Oh!" "Not much bigger than the farm is it?"
