Looking at it dispassionately, sure. But when it's your shit destroyed, and a minute before it had just been your shit, seriously, you don't know how you'd react until it happens to you.

Apparently, the woman is this guy's daughter, not his wife. I see now someone shared it on Facebook directly from the guy who took the video, he says it was him and his daughter, his wife was out of town.

The flat screen tv was completely untouched. How does that happen?

In the Joplin tornado my daughters apartment was decimated save 1 little corner of the living room in her tiny apartment. There sat the tv, xbox and entertainment center. Behind it were no walls.

Freaky. Those bastards take what they want.

Despite the fact that you hear about tornadoes all the time, it's not like it's likely a majority of places get hit even over the long run. Even when a major city gets hit, it's usually only a very small fraction of the total population that is really affected. So, aside from taking precautions to make sure you can (hopefully) live through it, it doesn't make a lot of sense to make a lot of other decisions based on the 1 in 10,000 chance you might get hit one day (numbers guesstimated).

On top of that, brick houses can still be completely destroyed for most intents and purposes. Just because a wall is still standing (which isn't a guarantee) doesn't mean that the roof will still be intact, windows and doors won't be gone, and half your shit won't be destroyed by debris blowing around.

After the Moore tornado hit, hundreds of officers from around the state went and helped. I worked a ten hour shift down there a day or two after it happened. Pretty intense driving around in the neighborhoods. We had a Moore city tire truck driving around repairing our tires throughtout the day. Constant flat tires from the nails.

Most of the time, no. But I would like to think my wife wouldn't act like that either.

It was probably the only thing still under warranty.

Damn. Sounded just like a buzzsaw when it hit their house. Never thought that is what it would sound like.

Yeah.
