    God please help these poor people. I know EXACTLY HOW THEY FEEL! we lost everything in a tornado in 86-it killed my poor father-everything he had worked his whole life for-gone in seconds!! Nature does not discriminate, and she can be brutal. God bless Texas!

      Ripping up the Posse Comitatus Act for starters. But if you can make the effective area radioactive there's a loophole that we can use then.

    The neighbor who house was saved because it was as he states, "blessed by God". His next door neighbor's house was trashed. Wow. How is it that people can't see that it was just PURE LUCK that his home was spared while his neighbors was demolished by the storm. Otherwise he must agree God didn't want to bless his neighbor's home. Here is a secret... We only have each other on this planet. There is no big, old man in the sky watching out for us... Deal with it.

    I dont understand... what do these people expect when you build your home from wood wrapped in vinyl/plastic and topped with lightweight tin/corrugated steel for a roof? You really think these structures can survive 140 mph sustained winds? Lol. If these people really wanted to live in hurricane prone areas why not build concrete dome houses/buildings? Sure its more expensive than wood and plastic but it'll last longer and insurance should cost less with less yearly maintenance/upkeep.

The city was in Humble Texas I didn't why God place me there but I felt a Devine connection in my spirit that he was preparing me for something.
