  • @ catz, and just how much time or money have you donated to helping rebuild Joplin. If I had to make a guess it would be zero. It's time for you to get out of your tiny little bubble of a world and actually do someting that is constructive.

• 'Yogurt girl': 'More of it got on me' than Obama

• 'UNSURVIVABLE!' New tornado warnings aim to scare

  Sat Mar 31, 2012
  • If you want to get away from the "cry wolf" phenomenon here is an idea. The NWS should not issue any warnings for let's say 2 or 3 years and then when the warnings start again maybe people will listen. I grew up in western Iowa and we listened.

  • You are both idiots. You calling the debris "trash" is sickening. What you refer to as "trash" is the remnants of alot of peoples hopes, dreams, homes, hard work and the bits and pieces of their lives. Just take a moment to look around yourselves and within yourselves at all the "trash".

  • As I said in a pevious post... I ended up in a wheelchair a little over a year ago, and I know it is a different program, but I'm still battleing with S.S.A. about benefits. I have paid into the system for 40+ years. It is people like her that make the S.S.A.
