Incredible footage... but really, is there no event you don't want to film?

The "Lord" had nothing to do with it, it's called nature...

are brick houses illegal in the US or something?

No, but they are more expensive. Plus a tornado will rip off the roof of a brick house and destroy everything inside as well, so unless you are particularly attached to your walls, doesn't make much difference. In earthquake zones, a wood house is safer than a brick house and will take less damage. Also, buildings tend to be made out of what is most cheaply and easily available. Unlike pretty much all of Europe, the US still has forests!

There are plenty of brick houses in Oklahoma. But this was an incredibly powerful tornado. It flattened buildings made of cinder bricks.

Seemed like they had already emerged at least once.... or at least looked out and surveyed the destruction... I can't imagine that as the first reaction.

....always at least seven such smug quips in a Videosift crowd.

Yeeeeah, maybe it's just me, but do most atheists love to play for the asshole?

yes, it is part of our dogma.

Nothing "smug" about my comment. If being factual as opposed to believing in fantasy makes me an "asshole," then I can live with that.
