I know the hospitial didnt get destroyed. As in it's still standing, had a lot of damage though. So hopefully she wouldn't be effected.

They aren't "making tornadoes", they are sending high frequencies into the areas and massive storms then pop up.
It happens time after time when these rings pop up. I don't fully understand it... but, I've been watching them for about 2-3 months now... and most of the times, the rings show up on radar LAAATE at night... and within a couple of days a HUGE storm hits that area. So, maybe it's a coincidence, but I don't believe that. If it happened infrequently, I'd say it was a coincidence... when it happens most everytime, it's a pattern. |

Got a verbal from the in laws. Apparently the cell towers are over loaded, they'd been trying to call KC for several hours. They have no power or water and are having a generator brought over from family in Galina. Funny, they don't know how bad it is and were blown away by my description of what I was seeing on tv.

It's irrelevant whether mother nature, or the big, bad government was the cause of this, lives were still lost/affected, and that should be the focus here. Last edited by Chiefspants; 05-22-2011 at 09:14 PM.. |

The problem with the hospital is that while they probably had multiple generators to back up the power grid, those generators could have been destroyed. Patients on life-saving equipment, drug dose machines, and monitors could have all been taken out. Add the fragile state of people who are hospitalized, and it gets kinda scary.
I am just heartbroken for all those people...and for those of you who can't get in touch with friends/family in the area. |
