I'm in Sedona, and a tornado just passed right by us with another Severe Thunderstorm moving in right now.
103 degree weather in Los Angeles in October and tornadoes in Arizona. What's next–surfing in Idaho?
people should live in AZ and see how bad it really ISN'T when talking about racism and god hating us. I'm sorry for those 7 people who were injured and all of those who had damage done to their homes and property. Good Luck to them.
What the hell does that have to do with the tornadoes? Man, people are idiots. And the race thing? No wonder it will never go away. Especailly when at the first chance people bring it up and blame every event in the world on it.
Grow up people.

Good one Myrosemite!! I love AZ. Lived there for 26 years. Illegal means illegal folks, it's not about race. Put your cards away.
What do you do there in Arizona, if you don't mind my asking? I think you must be DOT or something like that. Am I right?
Don't take it the wrong way, please. I have actually had mostly very positive experiences in AZ.
I want mryosemite to send me an email and say hi to cherylackley@verizon.net You sound interesting to talk to. I thought I saw a demolished camper that used to cruise I-40 and tattle on all the truck drivers. Guess they will not be using that camper anymore!!!
I was in the storm it was pretty dark, ididn't even know what was going on until long after it passed through, and when i saw the train on its side , as well as the trucks, and a few campers....
I have been told that this was a warning from satan to me, bill mount. Well satan, I belong to the king of kings and lord of lords,,, the one who was and is and is to come. God deals with those who come against me. All praise and glory to the living god, in him do I trust.
Hell yea BB face the facts guys Sarah Palin is awesome and Obama sucks and you suck for saying crap about John Macian he was tortued and he never broke and F u if you said crap about him he might be the reason your alive today, he had vital information about AMERCIAN plans, he cant raise his hands anymore. Not that much true patriots anymore and to be a true patriot you give your life for your country, respect those who serve and work your ass off protecting the AMERCIAN way GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I am proud to say that on Tuesday, March 6th 2012 I will be voting for the first time in my life. And I am even more proud to say that the first vote I cast in my life will be for Ron Paul. I never had a desrie to vote before. I always thought it was just a vote between bad and worse. So I was never motivated to vote. I was apathetic. But Dr. Ron Paul worked a miracle for me! Dr. Ron Paul cured my apathy!
