JK, APMEX, piker's site for all things bullion..........
Who actually deals with them? I guess folks that don't like free insured shipping and lower prices
AMPEREX made lots of Tubes back in the 50s.
Am I the only one who ever thinks , what the animals must be thinking when these tornadoes roll thru ??
same thing you'll be thinking when the SHTF
WTF?????
As a trapper I pay close attention to how animals react to storms, whether it be tornadoes or hurricanes. Generally speaking they seem to be able to sense and avoid most. Birds can leave the area or shelter in tree trunks. Most ground dwellers up to coyote size shelter in burrows or holes which are very safe. Animals such as deer have a harder time of it, although they seem to be able to find natural shelter on the lee side of ravines and depressions. I've even seen deer killed by lightning strikes before. Beaver. otter and other water dwellers simply hunker down in their dens and ride it out.
Stupid animals get killed early and often, unlike people.
What will get a lot of animals is flooding. They don't seem to have an innate feel for flooding especially since man has altered these patterns with impoundments, dams and controlled releases. Many, many animals are wiped out when they are drowned in their dens because of high water. I see that a lot with nutria.
I casted my mind
Until the end of time.

Greetings from delaware Buddy!
Quick, let's get out there and grab the loose APMEX stock!!

Actually, Hope and Prayers for fellow citizens. Raped by Bath House, wiped out by Winds.
Maybe they were having an IRS convention there.
I am sure Bath House will b johhny on the spot with aids.
Makes one wonder why anyone would choose to live there...anyway, it's FLAT...
It was a strategic decision in my case. Real mountains are a few hours away.
The video was sickeneing. It looked like the gates of hell had opened. Those poor children and people in OK.
Are you suggesting children aren't people?
Who'd fly a helicopter in that kind of weather?
A well-compensated man with a sense of duty, I guess.
I thought about that too. Must be one steely eyed MF.
Given the size of the pilot's brass balls, I don't see how the chopper can get airborne.
Obama is coming, anyone know good golfcourses around?
Preferably without 'nado damage.
Here you go, better than the United Way that's for sure:

Hey, Bamanator! You got your next Sandy Hook. Pick up the red phone!
Need VIP greens package, for the Obama, he's coming to help. He's bringing Christie so XWide cart too
No doubt he'll be playing a round with Cocks as they survey the new "homeless" areas in hopes of finding frackable drill sites. For the Cocks, death = profit.
M.E. is reporting 37 deaths so far.
My biz got hit by a huge F-4 years ago, double concrete block wall buildings across street and down street were leveled, only thing left was metal pallet racking on a concete slab.
I hope they have underground tornando bunkers when rebuilding, or at least hardened tornado rooms in their homes. Poured reinforced concrete walls in at least one room. ICF construction or shotcrete SIP construction which are rated for 150-200mph winds. It doesn't cost much more to do at least one room or a basement shelter and can save many lives in the future. God bless their souls.
Moore, OK is located in Cleveland County OK, south of OK City. This is a very conservative area, with a high degree of church participation.
Wow ! That SUCKS ! Why don't tornadoes get slutty names .... like the hurricanes used to get ? The air pressure was so low .... the wheat turned into puffed rice ! Is APMEX safe ? Edit: OK .... I'm sorry people are hurting .... this is how I deal with shit .... sick humour .... jeeez !
i know man, my son copes well with laughter...my irish ma taught me that...up one for sympathy.
What an disgusting individual.

When children are having peoples shooting them in the schools they are learning, the speaking by many peoples is to do something about so many guns we are having to owned by crazy peoples. When is a better time to be having talking about guns than the time after a bad thing is happening from guns.
So it it making many smart sense to be talking about the bad thing that is making bad weather terribleness to be happening while the peoples who are not having many smarts to know climate changing is happening because of much bad stuff peoples are doing to the atmosphere. Republicans are never believing what smart peoples are knowing.
I am wanting for you to be the doing of the fucking of yourself.
Don't drop acid and watch Platoon again. That sh!t will f-ck you up.
At least they can't blame the terrorists this time....
I am confident that was explored.
I hope those scavenging mutants in Syria/Middle East look at this and see what true power is.
Thoughts for the families of Tulsa.
Just heard people were actually being told if they were in Moore, to get in their car and get out of town.
JEEZ that's new.
I've lived in hurricane country and evacuted, with time to spare.
But I guess this one was so ugly the meteorologists just hit the panic switch!
Nothing to F5 in an hour.
Don't rebuild in flood plains with Federal assistance .... if you live in Tornado alley .... live in a turnip cellar .... not a mobile home ?
We could name Tornadoes after famous global warming advocates .... this one I will name Algore !
Hope those Oklahoma stackers kept it in the basement floor and not in the house walls.
You know, I see shit like this and just want to load up my truck with tools, food, blankets, toys etc.. and head over and help with putting some of these lives back together.
It was the Tuscaloosa tornado that convinced me to get my amaturer radio license. A storm earlier that day had knocked out power, so that night when the tornado hit, the tornado sirens were silent, and most had no warning at all since they had no power.
The local churches combined with local businesses and amatuer radio operators to setup a distribution network that helped thousands of people with food, water and shelter.
Imagine going to bed at night, and getting blown out of your house and waking up in a rainstorm on the ground. Your house, your guns, your preps - everything you own is gone.
FEMA was shit. The Feds were shit. It was local folks helping local folks that made the difference. Many employers gave free vacation days so their employees could take off and assist in the cleanup.
I've ridden out hurricanes Andrew, Marilyn, Wilma. And a few tornados too.
EACH time, very lucky to not only have lived, but been prepped and in strong buildings. Only lost one small window in Wilma.
Preps, family, cats and dogs all fine.
I can only imagine but never want to know what you've described.
I know OK is going to handle this better than NO.
You can't depend on the gov't. Neighbors have to be there for each other. My thoughts are with all of them.
My heart goes out to those people. We were hit last year when Tuscaloosa, Al was struck in the middle of the night. It is truly a horrible, terrifying experience. People went to sleep with normal lives, and many wokeup buried in rubble. Many never wokeup.
It really hurts to see an elementary school filled with so much promise and innocence destroyed for no reason.
May God comfort them in their hour of need.
Dammit, I was just duped into clicking on an NBC site. Dammit.
Just use sanitizer on the keyboard and it will be fine.
The response from Fema and Guvment during this...............chirp.
A metaphor for what Bernanke, Blankfein and Dimon are doing to the global economy.
Dems to ban assault tornados.
So, no more black skies?
That's raycess.
Mother Nature bats last.
...but never misses.
So sad 20 children dead.
Lumber futes are green.
Jeebus, what a surprise.
And the Tornado Drill Team just happend to be passing by.
In the immortal lyrics of Ft. Worth rockers Bloodrock: "God in heaven, teach me how to DIE!!!"
I remember, we were flying low, and hit something in the air...
I knew there had to be a "DOA" fan on here somewhere...nevertheless, not trying to make light of the tornado victims' plight...that can't be fun....
what happened?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim of this tornado.
This is GODS will - they should be happy GOD choose them

I donated to the OK Salvation Army tonight, they will make use of 100% of your money, being from N Texas, I trust them, your donation will make a difference, never trusted anyone else
Bernank Bucks flyin' in the air.
Humanity suffers a thousand tornadoes of socialism every day ! People can rebuild from these natural disasters .... it's the man made government disasters that are harder to recover from !
Oh please please please tell me it has wrecked the home of Senator Inhofe in an act of extreme irony.
Manmade Global Warmed Over Socialism
The only big tornado that almost got us was the Xenia, Ohio monster in April 1974. All sorts of odd stories came out in the days after it wrecked half the town. A carved stone in front of a church had a lot of scripture on it, a tree fell on it leaving only these words visible- "Then sudden destruction cometh"
A little girl hid under a bench in front of her house, the tornado took out both houses on either side but left her unscathed, a locomotive was in a field a couple of hundred yards from the tracks. A baby was found alive in a field, but her mother had died in her bath tub.
No warning and BLAM, it's on you. I hate these things, sudden massive destructive then they just stop. 10 minutes afterward, the weather is just fine, and everyone is stunned.
The US has 90% of the tornadoes on earth. We reap the whirlwind every spring.
The ones who survive say "Thank you, Jesus."
The ones who die say, "Thanks a lot for the tornado, asshole."
Are all years this bad?
this is a message from the wizard of oz. follow the yellow brick road because there is no place like home.
Warning sirens going off here in southern IL. Under tornado watch until 5 am central. Don't see anything outside right now but a buncha lightning...
Very bad... death toll now to 91... At least 20 kids dead...

No sound on the first video?
Why not "Thunderstruck" by ACDC?
Lacks some action. A US American, sporting a football helmet, and running to the tornado, would add to the scene.
At the moment, it is bared.
Alas, alas, three tornadoes in one day alas, just have to bare with it.
Not surprising that disaster like this has AnAnonymous filling his Jissbons.
Eternal nature of 'AnAnonymists' is disgusting.
His ability to self-delight his 8 cm member while watching news coverage of US 'american' disasterism is very much the mattering thing. Very crusty.
We're sorry you're not amused, Chicom Slaveboy, but we have to wait for disasters to strike unlike your homeland, which crashes trains and has buildings cave-in on innocents every other week.
"We're sorry you're not amused, Chicom Slaveboy, but we have to wait for disasters to strike unlike your homeland, which crashes trains and has buildings cave-in on innocents every other HOUR."
Fixed it for you.
Projected final results of QE2
I found some unbelievable photos here. Also, according to today's National Weather Service storm report, this storm is causing a lot of damage all over the place.
@geekgrrl
Stunning....
Sympathies to all those who lost their loved ones, irreplaceable unlike the stupid Krug GDP building material damage......
Stunning is the right word...
This should take Obama out of the office for a few hours .....
Syria damages an Israeli jeep that crossed the border... fire exchanged... this is getting tense.
Perfect event to take IRS-gate off the front pages
I like Glenn Beck's moniker for the three 'gates'....IntimOgate
If you're getting your global warming science from Rush Limbaugh, keep right on. Make certain if you're in Oklahoma tornado's path, you take your complaints to Rush.
Let's see if the OK state government is too proud to accept assistance from the Feds or if it was all bluster the whole time (like Chris Christie).
I'm sponsoring a bill to move The Fed and TBTF bank HQs to trailers in Moore, OK.
