Is it a long tradition or something ? Looks to me you could us a bit more concrete over there! Maybe I'm mistaken but USA is the continent most affected by tornadoes. It must seriously suck to have your house destroyed like that :/

Also, is having a shelter mandatory? 'Cause it looks like this couple wouldn't have made it out without it.

But yeah that was horrible to see. I know if a tornado like that hit the UK we'd be totally screwed.

Underground or partially underground homes is the answer. Not only will it survive a tornado, but it will be energy efficient.

Is pretty much how I was when I saw one up close and personal. Its just shocking, the noise is like a loud train just plowing through. Scary as fuck.

1) That house was not "destroyed". It took some minor damage.

2) Those have to be the two most annoying people on Earth. If you're a man and you have a hysterical wife, you don't exaggerate the damage and scare her more. You don't sit there screaming obscenities and freaking her out. Be a fucking man.

I like you.

That guy is a total pussy. Way to scare the fuck out of your wife, as if shes not afraid already. Even if shit is hitting the fan, you don't let her know that. Reassure her that it's going to be alright.

Lol there's something so incredibly sexist about what you two just said, but it's also true.

Don't get me wrong. I think the woman is a whiny, overhysterical cow, but men are kind of expected to be able to keep their emotions in check a little better.

I'm surprised he posted the video on the internet. While its a fairly good video of the destruction it makes him out to be extremely weak, especially with his wife somewhere in the background screaming - why not console her? (as in hug, not as in "hit her over the head with an xbox"). I'd quietly delete it myself.

That was his daughter, not wife. Way to call a 9 year old girl in a tornado a "whiney, overhysterical cow."

I can't imagine how socially crippled and autistic some of you must be IRL sometimes.

Holy shit, that makes it much much worse. I had just assumed it was his wife because I thought there was no way a father would behave like that, frightening the living shit out of his daughter instead of comforting her. Unbelievable.

Oh, well I guessed wrong. But way to use a misunderstanding to make your point...you're a shining example of how we should all be Stinkum ;)

That makes it 100 times worse. Fucking terrible father. Also, way to loosely throw around autism like it blankets every socially inept person. Read a fucking book

If he were a real man he would have shot that tornado dead for trespassing in his castle.

You really don't find his behavior to be highly questionable, traumatizing, and dangerous to his daughter? Strange.

There should be laws that if you don't buy:

Or a derivative structure your:

A. uninsureable
B. Killed In-humanely
C. you don't get mortgages or other bank loans, ever.

C and A are redundant but there anyway for the lulz.

I strive to one day rage like an autistic baboon about how a 9 year old girl is a "whiney, overhysterical cow" for being scared in a tornado.

Was a misunderstanding, but of course you'll jump at any chance to try and make yourself feel superior to me. This says much more about you than you wish to admit.

I do not thinly you guys know what its like to have a wife. Therefore seeing one in hysterics is very funny. Especially when its not directed towards you.

I live in this town, but I was on the side that it missed. My cousin was not so lucky, but at least his family is alright.

nope. he was reacting to his fucked up house. "shit" has become a catch all word like "fuck," so him saying shit all the time is indicative of him recognizing the situation as being "shitty." After the tornado passes he immediately states that they need to get out of the house because it's not safe.
