Major, killer tornado in Oklahoma

[TitoFan]

Sad... Sad news, stuff like this always reminds me just how vulnerable we are stuck living on this rock.

thoughts are with the family's of the killed children

Makes you wonder what's worse.... living in an earthquake-prone area like anywhere on the San Andreas fault.... living in places where hurricanes always seem to hit.... or living in Tornado Alley, as I believe it's called. There's also areas like Indonesia, which have lately been ravaged by quakes and tsunamis.

But all things considered, I think living in Tornado Alley has to be worse. Killer tornadoes are much more frequent than killer earthquakes, I'd have to believe. Hurricanes give you days and even weeks of advance notice. But tornadoes pop up out of nowhere. Even in the middle of the night, when reaction time is a lot slower.

I can't imagine what it must be like living in a place like Oklahoma.
