Following the devastating string of tornadoes that ravaged the Midwest earlier this month, newly-released security footage shows the exact moment the storm tore apart the Henryville Junior-Senior High School in Indiana.
Louisville, Ky.’s WDRB-TV obtained the footage, taken from several security cameras positioned throughout the campus. There’s no sound, but the before-and-after images are stunning: from the suddenly-destroyed gymnasium to the chaos in a hallway that would have normally been filled with students. (Video below)

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 5:37amThat’s just a minor revision of the executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by President Clinton, which was just a minor revision of the executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by President Reagan, and so on back to the first executive order on National Defense Resources Preparedness signed by FDR in 1939. If you don’t believe me, just look up the Clinton and Reagan executive orders which are revoked in section 803. In other words, this is a normal part of every President’s job that just seems sinister to paranoids who see everything that President Obama does part of some vast and overarching evil conspiracy.

Posted on March 19, 2012 at 12:36pmPOTUS is easier to type than President of the United States. It is to specify that we are talking about the President of the United States of America. Granted, someone may be confused that we are not talking about the President of the United States of Mexico, but I think the acronym would be different, perhaps PCEUDM (Presidente con Estado Unido de Mexico).
But in any case, POTUS and SCOTUS are always easier to type out completely.

Report Post »I am not sure if the name was taken because they believe in the radical movement or just a bad choice of trying to show their site was “radically” different than other weather sites. The link I provided is to the radar sites. It is hard to find any weather site that doesn’t offer up some “green” or global weather opinion. I just use it for the data coming from the radar locations. The data gives me more than a talking head on TV. If I can find a better site for user friendly data I would go there.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 1:54pmHindsight is always crystal clear. Looking back at how Hitler came to power (oh yeah people, he got elected, a very ‘charismatic’ person… served as an upright leader for a term and all – before seizing power, but used that term as a ‘legitimate leader’ to soften the way and get rid of obstacles, sound familiar?) it’s all to easy to wonder – why wasn’t he stopped then? How many different checkpoints did he skip over, where the German government or the German people should have raised questions or stopped him? How many executive orders, how many wars without approval, how many ‘mandates’ is this leader going to foist off on us – our Constitution is ignored and trampled on. When it happens… we only have ourselves to blame.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 1:50pmThat’s what it says. We are now ‘officially’ under the control of dictators. I have read the order twice and it gives our government the authority to control anything regarding industry and our personal lives. Everyone should read this order. I’m not shocked that this was done on the Friday before St. Patrick’s Day when most people were not paying attention to the news.

Simply stated- No offence Doggy- Should for ANY reason the White House and certain cabinet members and other officials feel the “security” of the country is in question- – I’m typing REAL s l o w . May, at thier discretion seize, any asssets within the territorial restraints of the country. Media, food, water, law enforcement, travel, manufacturing and agricultural infrastructure and assets’ private property rights would be terminated, manpower requiirements for any necessary endeavour will be conscripted (drafted) from the civilian population.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 12:50pmThanks for the link baddoggy. Printing it as I type. WE ARE SOOOO SCREWED!!!!. I had a strong feeling an executive order was coming but I was thinking something more along the line of messing with the upcoming election(just a matter of time). I almost had a stroke when I got to the words that said……… OR IN PEACE TIME. God please be mercifull to our nation and your people..

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 12:49pmI tried to reply to your comment but somehow what I wrote disappeared. Bottom Line the POTUS can rule with despotism how transportation, energy and manufacturing etc. conduct business during peace and war time. Read Sections 201, 308, and 801 if you need clarification what they mean. There is no doubt in my mind what this President is doing. Section 501 defines how they will deal with non-conformists. All in the namesake of our security.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 1:37pmHey ITS4YOU,
Reference: http://www.wunderground.com/about/background.asp
“Company Background” section, paragraph 2:
“…The growing Internet weather program was given the name Weather Underground, a reference to the 1960′s radical group that also originated at the University of Michigan, which had taken its name from the lyrics to Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues, ‘You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows.’”
I’d rather get my weather by looking out a window!

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 10:27amWe humans are like the grains of sand on the beach. When nature decides to do something, we have little to do about it. What will happen, will happen. Those who profess to control the weather with their CO2 emissions should pull their head out and admit that we are just puny beings living here and we are subject to the whims of nature…………… not the other way around. We are not in contol of anything but how we cope. Nothing more.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 12:11pmI lost part of a house to a tornado once. That was bad enough, but once there was a whole section of the roof simply missing, the rain took out the rest of the ceilings as they all simply fell in once loaded with water and that of course went all into the carpet… We lost fencing, out door lighting, windows on one side, two screen doors… It was loud and one of the odd things is inside, when it was happening, you could tell the house was expanding as the the shower curtain rods fell because the rods no longer reached from wall to wall for a brief moment.
