    I can't believe I let this one past me. Black mirror as the worst of ourselves? Why it gotta be black??

    They say it's only going to get worse as long as we continue destroying the planet. Storms are going to be bigger and badder, damage will be greater, death tolls will be higher.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Video showing the massive tornado.
    This... is insane. I guess the only thing to do would be to re-in-force tornado safe areas such as underground cellars and bunkers in tornado-prone zones? What about the people who weren't on a PC or watching TV at the moment and couldn't even see the warning? That's the scary thing...

    I hope we can develop better hazardous weather alert systems, soon. For example, tornado alarms? (Similar to CO2 & fire alarms)

    What else would it be, purple. Seriously if any color embodies evil it is purple.

    Honestly, its not that bad so far. I hope I live long enough to see effects of the global climate shifts they expect will occur in the next 50 years are so.

    Not really going to do much. Nature is beautiful in its total disregard for everything, besides humans need something to keep their arrogance in check. I love tornadoes, have ever since I was a child. I saw a waterspout as a kid and it is still one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Nature kills, it is a fact of life. This guy I knew, the younger brother of one of my father's coworkers actually, was struck by lightning while out on his boat. I hear it was pretty messy his internal organs were liquefied and began bubbling out of his body. I was not at all interested in seeing it though and it wasn't even a stormy day just overcast.
    Dreaming impossible dreams.
    Sapphire is awesome!

    I think red is pretty evil (USSR/China). Purple is the color of royalty (in Roman and Anglo-Saxon circles).

    Shit I hope your dad's coworker is ok. That sounds pretty dangerous going out on a boat in a thunderstorm.
