Gotta Watch: Tornado rips through St. Louis
Many residents of St. Louis are glad to be safe after a category EF4 tornado ripped through the area over the weekend. These are just a few videos of the destruction.
Tornado slams airport – Upon first glance, this silent surveillance video of Lambert Airport in St. Louis looks as if there's an invisible vacuum inhaling debris.

Safety underground – When weather forecasters say to head to the basement of your house during a storm, this is why. Here, our Dan Simon walks into what appears to be a hole in the ground that turns out to be the nearly untouched basement of a home that's been flattened by the storm.

Are we are is dust in the wind.
What????
Party on Mad
Are we all dust in the wind?
this is the result of the ever increase in sin that is abounding in the USA as well as Europe and Asia.
I find it hard to believe the increasing sin in Europe and Asia is the cause of the St. Louis tornado
Actually, this is result of the same weather pattern that happens every year in the spring...
Im sure it is.
@Ryan, I think Tom's "this" refers to all the crazy stuff going on in the world right now, all which can be explained by science or human nature, but sin? I dunno, if we all stopped sinning I have a funny feeling earthquakes and tornadoes and civil unrest might keep happening, just a hunch.
Yeah because we are much more sinners now that 200 years ago. Whatever.
Or is it just a case of Bad Karma coming home to roost? On the other hand, the earth IS tilted. Bet that's got a lot to do with this crazy weather.
Yeah sure Tommy... since that is what you learned in Sunday school. Get a brain!
So is sin stagnent in Africa, Latin America and Australia? I mean if so that's some good news!
God's ways are not in anyway our ways. Either way you look at it we will have it wrong. If judgment falls on America does anyone think that this is all God will dish out? There is the law of sowing and reaping, this would be closer to the truth. When judgment falls who will be able to get online and make stupid remarks about it?
tom; you're a morron
It's worth it...
though many people dont, I agree with you tom.
Mother nature really mad and coming with a vengeance. The horsemen ride my friend.
I'll watch the video later, gotta sudden urge to head to Red Lobster first!!! (Licking lips!)
I would opt for a chicken parm.
I think the greatest part of all is No one was killed nor seriously injured in this storm. A Miracle I say.
No Miracle, just human initiative to heed and take shelter. I guess you could say "luck" but that seems pretty silly as well.
I agree it very well is a miracle. While news reports credit the early warning system for saving lives, at the airport it was a different story. There was not a warning 30 minutes ahead of time. In fact right up to the time the tornado hit, there are passengers standing right up to the glass windows largely unaware of the impending danger. Bottom line is the warning was not passed along at the airport so that people could make their own decision to get to safety. The STL airport failed at providing that warning to passengers and employees and should be ashamed.
It's in poor taste to introduce such tragedy with "Gotta Watch." This is not a sideshow; it is people's whole worlds being destroyed. Shame on you, CNN.
Lighten up, Liz. Neither cnn nor the rest of us are missing the fact that tornadoes can rip the heart right out of a neighborhood, but even those affected have a sense of humor. Note the "For Sale" sign on the overturned SUV. Quit preaching.
SHAME ON YOU CNN! The last thing anyone needs is news being reported, especially BAD NEWS! Its also a really silly thing to have people watch others survive such a force of nature. I really would hate my kids to actually see these videos and learn severe weather can be dangerous! Cover your ears children! Daddy loves you, nothing but bunnies and butterflies!
Wanna know the true count of ignorant idiots living in the world? Start by counting the posts on CNN.com
You're posting, aren't you?
Due to so many earthquakes, the earth tilts a little off it's axis every time we get a big shake. If you watch the weather channel, you will see that the jet stream dips further to the south. Mix that with the warm gulf air and ......poof! You have enormous weather changes. I'm not sure when I turned in to a Weather Person, but that makes sense to me. Anyone ....anyone???? Now, what's up with 2012?? Will the weather flip entirely? Hmmmmm.
I have to agree with you happy... The weather has been increasingly getting worse, however, it is natural reasons.. Not the supernatural as some on here believe or try to make others believe.. Shhhesshhh
@Happy, earthquakes do not cause the planet to tilt on its axis. Severe weather patterns are cyclical throughout history, we just never had the technology to record these patterns before. That doesn't mean that humans and our polluting ways aren't having a negative effect on those natural weather patterns, though.
NO KIDDING? Don't tell the people of the midwest super tornado outbreak of april 3rd, 1974! I wouldn't want to tell them they made all the death and destruction up because the earth hadn't tilted enough yet to form severe weather in the Midwest. It all must of happened in Canada, and the news got it all wrong!
This up coming weekends project is building our tornado shelter under our staircase 🙂 no joke
That's an excellent plan, Josh. I have relatives who survived a huge tornado in Texas by doing the same. They lived in a townhouse with no basement.
I don't believe earthguakes knock the world off its axis. I believe you may have heard wrong. These things have been happening for millions of years (tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes) so whether they become catastrophic in 2012 is anyones say. Just live right and wait. No man will know the hour anyway....that's what I remember.

God's ways are not in anyway our ways. Either way you look at it we will have it wrong. If judgment falls on America does anyone think that this is all God will dish out? There is the law of sowing and reaping, this would be closer to the truth. When judgment falls who will be able to get online and make stupid remarks about it? This was repeated in another post of mine.
Sarah Palin is on her way to St. Lousi right now. She's bringing mooseburgers and s'mores for everyone !
sooner or later we are all die and become dust and ashes.The main thing is how we live our live
the best thing that no one killed or injured, thanks god
