Tornados :/
Well Oklahoma has been getting hit hard the last two days any one else in this area? Thoughts and prayers are with all my fellow tornado alley Bowlers.
Another expected tomorrow also. Close to the same path as today's.
It's so hard to believe that with all the technology available in this day and age that a tornado could sneak up like that.
My prayers go out to not only the survivors but also the fallen and all the families affected.

AMF Moore was destroyed. Rumors are that it probably won't be rebuilt. The center had been evacuated before the storm hit.

Spec Sheet
Really scary stuff... Tomorrow they say it could be bad again, and Texas is on watch. I'm not sure I remember a string like the ones we have had the last week or so.
The problem is the nature of a tornado. Almost any storm in this area is capable of producing a tornado, but not every storm capable of producing one actually DOES produce one. So it's really just a guessing game. The ability to give advanced warning has really improved, but there will probably never be a day when really advanced notice will be possible, no matter how much technology advances. You just never know!
Not helping the situation since 1983.

As of now they say 51 dead 20 of the 51 are children :'( it's bad out here.
Speaking of tornadoes and bowling, this was posted elsewhere:
That's just so crazy...
I mean: You can take shelter, but would it matter in that kind of monster storm? Wow. What can you do? Look at those I-beams!!!
The death toll is over 50 last I heard. Those poor people never had a chance.
My bowling league is tomorrow night. Where I live (North of Dallas/Ft. Worth) they're saying it could be bad tomorrow, too. Looking at that picture, I almost don't want to go, but then again... I'm not sure a house would hold up any better.

Ya that's the amf lanes in Moore.
As of now new numbers if correct are 90+ deadif this is truth its compounded a already bad week here in Oklahoma.
Makes me so glad I left Texas. I remember those times we had tornado warnings as a kid. The "quiet" before the storm. And the aftermath. So scarey. We may get hot here, but I try not to complain as we don't have to deal much with destruction like this. So devastating. So sad.
My thoughts are with each and every one of you that are close to this or have family close by.
Just instills in me what my mother used to tell me..."Live life with no regrets"
