Weather in Tulsa

[Bob Owens]

I am also a "don't want people to die in a tornado" kind of guy.

But you are against policies that would enable them to keep themselves out of harms way because they are "Socialist".  You would also be complaining if legislation was passed with stricter building codes, argueing that these people now cant afford any housing at all now that the new codes are in place, and Heaven forbid if government assistance was used to get these same people in safer homes.

I lived in Houston for 30 years, and I would much rather go through a hurricane than a tornado.  Tornadoes are way too unpredictable for my tastes.  I remember when I was growing up in Birmingham, a tornado touched down in the Ensley section of town.  Every house for a space over two blocks long and two blocks wide was destroyed--with the exception of one house (wood frame like all the ones destroyed) right in the middle of the destruction that didn't even have any loose shingles!!!
 
News reports this morning say Moore, OK that was hit hard by a tornado just a couple of years ago, was hit hard again, but no deaths or major injuries, thank goodness.

I agree, in a Hurricane you get plenty of warning.

Where did I say that Bob?

I think I pretty much said the exact opposite in post #8.
 
You have any more comments to make Bob or are you done lying?

No, Bob, I am neither a true capitalist or a socialist.

Labels aren't built around balance.

You would have to be pretty old to have seen the environmental changes he is talking about. They occurred before we were born. 

Yes, but I have seen the weather change in Oklahoma ( every week ) from the time I was young until now. However it still snows and ices over, more actual snow when I was younger and as I have grown older it seems colder....

I'd like to see actual data but I can't help but wonder if deforestation and development of what were formerly forested areas of the American Midwest might be a factor in the amount of violent weather in OK and the number of icing events in N. Texas.

dude you really need help.

 

[WorldTraveler]

because I can see the weather change that others also have noted?

and I know American geography to know what type of vegetation used to exist in the American Midwest?

So now you're a climatologist  / meteorologist?
Is there a topic that you're not an expert in?
