Been watching the CNN live footage. Very fascinating stuff.

Mmmmmm...bacon.

MY BACON!!!!

And your little dog, too.

OMG! Save the bacon!

BACON NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

b-maz: BACON NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's just a little airborn! It's still good it's still good!

It must be so boring in OK that they have nothing to do.

SAVE ME!

Glad I already bought bacon yesterday...

Oh, the ham-manity!

Barakku: b-maz: BACON NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's just a little airborn! It's still good it's still good!

It's gone...

Pack your bags!

Wilbur!!!!! .....

I'm eating a BBBLT (bacon, bacon, bacon, lettuce & tomato) sandwhich right now and getting a kick out of these replies.

Good grief, that bacon bag just made my mouth water.

Nooooooo! They be blowin' up may bacon!

pigs MARCH

Live video situation still developing..

here(p)

I predict a poop thread in the future - Cue the redneck saying "It was raining pig shiat!"

They are only gonna be tossed around a little. Still bacon.

/Tossed ... bacon?

wheres the bacon flowchart when i need it?

Must be that farking global cooling this year.
Amazing, highest amount of ice creation in 100 years. WHY wont it JUST warm up!!!

I know, lets dump some more CO2 into the atmosphere, after all, it only makes up %0.03 of the fresh air we breath, obviously we need FAR more into the atmosphere. That way, those teenie tiny little atoms of CO2 can retain heat. Although, molecules in the atmosphere do more to block the incoming solar radiation then retain it.

What the heck, what the fark does science know anyway!!!

CNN said it "vaporized" a hog farm.

"Vaporized"??

God as my witness. I thought pigs could fly.

Don't worry, it's OK.

Jesus.....

sbcjack: God as my witness. I thought pigs could fly.

They did ... for a few seconds..

So if the tornado picks up a bunch of pigs, and crosses through a wildfire caused by an earlier tornado, do we have insta-bacon?

Stay safe, Farkers.

/pigs, too

Current reports on NOAA say there was an EF-5+ recorded on the ground for roughly thirty seconds before downgrading into an EF-3+ making it the strongest tornado on Earth since the revision of the Fujita scale.

(EF-5+ would be a minimum of 381 MPH wind speed - 80% of the way to Mach 1... Amazing to see, terrible to get hit by. Hope no one got nailed by it. Seriously.)

Where you getting that info? Wanna read

that god damn wizard!

Does Not Approve...


/obligatory

Auntie Em,
Hate you, hate Kansa, took the dog.

Scary tag on vacation? You can try and take my bacon from my cold, dead hands....

Yay. Mason Dunn is back in the helicopter.

Last time CNN mentioned it they said that even the hogs survived.

Oh, sweet. They've got the helicopter back up in the air.
Mason Dunn rocks!

(watching live feed from KWTV (new window)

It's heading right in the direction of my town. If anything happens to my new mattress, I'm going to be one pissy biatch.

Does your insurance not cover stuff like that?

Actually, the (Enhanced) Fujita scale is based upon the damage a tornado does, not the wind speeds it produces. The wind speeds are of course handy references for rough estimates, but they're not how the Fujita scale classifies a tornado.

I remember after the May 3rd tornadoes in Oklahoma, when some of the fastest wind speeds on Earth were recorded, some folks were talking about the possibility of making a category F6 on the Fujita scale for those wind speeds. But nope, you can't get much of a higher category when F5 basically means "hey, where did everything go?"

Oh, hey! I can take my laptop to the bathroom with me!

Why didn't I think of that an hour ago?

There is an EF6 category, but they have been very hesitant to assign any storm to that category.

The Moore storm was "close" as well as the Xenia storm of '74 (which I bare scars from)/

Torlandoes!

Tag, you're it.

/SE Wyoming, NE Colorado and W Nebraska weather much nicer today
