One Texas man, with ample vocal commentary, caught live video of today’s tornado from the roof of his house. Watch below:
“Oh my God, please avoid my house,” says Texas resident Vincent Tang.
Wolf Blitzer did a segment on the video as well, even going so far as to interview Tang about what it was like to be so close:

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 3:23pmSo Tang is scared to death; oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, but still stands there out doors in the path of the twister while he pees his pants. Okay, so the guy is some kind of rocket scientist; right?

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 10:02amWelcome to Texas, Mr.Tang. You’ve earned your spurs. Busy twister season so far down here, they’ve even popped up about a month ago in Devine,TX and that is in South Texas, which is very RARE. The concern now is for state aid.
Report Post »Kevyn
Posted on April 4, 2012 at 3:31pmAid to the State of Texas from The One. Right. The reason the TX wildfires around Magnolia & Bastrop did so much damage is because we couldn’t get the FEDERAL planes to put out the fires until it went on for EIGHT DAYS. Once The Messiah finally released them the fires were extinguished quickly. Think Darth Barry would have let Chicago burn 8 days?
Report Post »yiska8
Posted on April 4, 2012 at 11:22pm@ Of course there was slow to no federal aid from King Barry. We were in drought from Feb 2010 until today. Technically we are still in drought across many counties even with a few showers finally falling. I mentioned state aid because it’s all dried up mostly from the drought and the fires and the twister victims in Devine,TX and the surrounding areas are being given the run around and that state aid may not be allocated to help them. I hope those in North Texas have better luck..Federal aid and help is always too late anyway. Texas burned and Barry probably smiled about it. If Chicago was on fire, he would have called the troops in from Afghanistan if need to be for emergency aid. Despicable SOB.

I’d rather deal with a hurricane or tornado than a nuclear explosion. The most liberal cities in America have been terrorist targets for years. Just a ticking time bomb eventually waiting to happen.

Posted on April 4, 2012 at 12:16pmIt rains on both the righteous and the wicked. Following Christ has nothing to do with what happens to you, only what you do when it happens. Christ taught that principle every single day of His life. It’s mentioned over and over and over in the scriptures. I would encourage you to study the scriptures on your own instead of just taking your pastor’s interpretation and leaving it at that.
I would like to say that there is a serious problem in the Christian churches of our day that may contribute to us being humbled daily in this country and it‘s referenced to in many places of the scriptures but I’ll share these three.
- “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” Matthew 15:8
- “Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.” Mark 7:6
- “Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.” Isaiah 29:13

Posted on April 9, 2012 at 4:15amoh wow. this 999 dude has GOT to be a troll. no one is this vile and stupid… yet judging from the follow-up “mind numbing posts, it is possible.
this just goes to prove that there‘s ignorant and then there’s religibigot ignorant … and then there’s southern ignorant … and then there’s sociopath ignorant … and you get the point.
all i wanted to do is simply answer this inane excrement with, “God hates you because you ARE the most vile.” and while in my mind that is true … the true truth is – you people get more tornados and weather disasters because you voted away most of your pollution regulations and social protections. congrats. you get what you pay for. SCIENCE, what?!
now lets get into this bass ackwards hypocrisy you’re proposing: “why does God maim/kill us? he should be killing other people …” is what you said – and IF there is a God and he saw you idiots drooling that hate speech and asinine judgement i think he would actually be smiting the self righteous filth of hate mongers using his teaching and name in vain, before teaching anyone else out there, lessons in life.
and now if this is still above your simple/evil minds i direct you to a more clear answer: annotatedrant.com – you’ll find your “southern” related answer there. ypmms.

Lots of folks believe in lots of gods.
That’s a problem; Satan toys around with the truth to deceive people. Remember the Serpent is cunning . Even in the beginning with Eve.
The best things folks can to is know His Word so we can know the truth.
