"At least 27 dead as tornadoes ravage central U.S."
It's a shame even with the modern technology, early warning etc people as still dying. Be carefully mortals out there!!

No r.c. homes and r.c. foundations. The early warnings have been there for decades. But resilient homes not avoidable in the greatest nation on earth. Tornadoes are naturally destructive. nah more comment.

Absolutely terrible.

Terrible thing to happen, unimaginable.
Yeah right of course he does. Mawkish claptrap.

Wonder why the need to drive anywhere when early warning given....50 car pile up in a dust storm...8 dead .

You think Australia or Europe will help us out and send us aid, something, money, anything?

Trump’s condolences on Truth Social were quite moving

Too bad trump and musk fired the national weather service. These deaths could have been easily avoided if the government still had this agency to get the proper warnings out.

That’s just a lame excuse, that’s like saying, Apple letting go of their Temp staff is the cause of not being able to fill hundreds of orders. In the private sector and government sector from time to time cuts need to be made, because it didn’t happen for so long in the government, federal employees feel like they have the right to be there even when it’s costly to the Company.

Bass...Australia often sends firefighters for wild fires and US sends huge water carrying helicopters .
I don't think we can offer much with tornadoes though.
We don't have them.
But seriously sorry for the lives lost and destruction.
In 1979 I was in Fort Worth , Texas, when a "twister " touched down.
I rolled a fattie and stuck it out in my decrepit hotel.

Terrible destruction and loss of human life. Sometimes the warnings don't come quickly enough especially out in the countryside.
Does FEMA still exist these days? Those people need urgent federal help.

@bassfunk
Your analogy fails. Trump and musk literally fired the people who are to detect these weather conditions and warn the people. And now there are 30+ fatalities (and counting) as a result.
Based on the location, the sad irony is that most of the deceased likely voted for this.

Unfortunately, FEMA has been stripped to nothing.
Not to worry, trump will send them prayers.

Great! Sincerely and definitely appreciate it.
…and you don’t want them, believe me…
Thank you.
Lol

These type of disasters will only get more lethal in the future thanks to Donald Trump's dumb policy decisions that prioritize billionaires over everything else, nature included.

When the power companies in these states start laying power cables underground ???
WoodyLee
When will they make it mandatory by law in these states for every home to have an underground shelter ???
WoodyLee
They've only been talking about going underground for the past 50 years or so.
