There is no such thing as tornado season anymore. It seems like tornado season is year-round now remember the outbreaks we had in December and January. People get used to it. This is the new way of life.

[@seeharvester]

Gee, why do you think that is? Is the Lord angry?

[@ianh1504]

I would like you to look the people of that town in the eyes and say their town got destroyed because they were sinners and god was angry at them

[@rabidgoon]

@@seeharvester This is because the flying spaghetti monster is mad that the price of Parmesan cheese has gone way up *literally how crazy you people sound when you say this is because your god is mad

[@seeharvester]

@@ianh1504 You talking to me?

[@seeharvester]

@@rabidgoon Not my god. You took my reverse humor the wrong way. I'm not a "god" person. The reason for all this destruction is because people, (who should know full well), that live in tornado alley build their buildings the wrong way. If I lived there I'd build underground, or with reinforced concrete. Now that their houses are gone, they have the perfect opportunity to do so. But I bet they don't. Because, uh, dumb.

Just a thought, have you ever noticed that a military contractor who develops weapons and designs killing machines never gets hit with a tornado. Not once in our history, and I'm wondering how? With the decades and decades of storms, why a military contractor center has never been hit?

[@takua624]

I'm totally naive to this topic, and I'm wondering if it's possible to build tornado-resistant houses? A Google search suggest that reinforced concrete is a potential building material, can it really withstand tornadoes in practice? And is it affordable for people living in the tornado alley?
