Default OKC Tornado

Time to put the SLI stuff on the back burner for a few days-

Hopefully anyone on both sides of the List, who lives or has family in the OKC area.. are ok.

God knows that CALForums has come through for others when needed, and hopefully the other forum (UnitedPilots) does the same. Let's hope everyone is good to go.
Thoughts and Prayers for everyone involved.

You beat me to it Motch. This SLI stuff is meaningless right now, It is nothing compare to the real tragedy that is happening there right now. This OKC tornado might end the lives of many young innocent children and adult alike. My heart goes out to all the families out there affected by this tragedy.

The death toll is above 50 at this time. Very tragic- there is no wrath like that of nature gone awry. We should grieve a minute for the innocent dead who are mainly school children according to news reports.

Having lived there for 4 years including May 3, 1999, my prayers go out and haunting memories of cleaning up including my best friends house being flattened come rushing in. Okies are strong and will recover

Scientists hope to predict tornadoes by using little drones - latimes.com

Another opportunity if you find yourself with Drone experience.

Until now, most of the work on unmanned aircraft has been for military or public safety uses. But researchers are increasingly exploring their use in science, including severe weather research. (Weather officials prefer the term "unmanned aircraft" to "drone," a word strapped with political connotations because of its wartime use.)

How they could authorize school construction without a "safe room" is beyond me.
