2. Don't get me started
Several went thru the area, at least 2 or 3 touched down, we have 3 or 4 hours of live coverage, including live video of the twisters..and in the middle of it all, one of our local news people brought up that it was heading towards chimp's neighborhood. Millions of people in this city, thousands in the twisters' paths, and news guy has to bring up chimp.

Then I switch to CNN, news anchor shows some of the twister video and damage and then HE mentions it was near chimp's neighborhood. Dude, go interview the business people who saw their buildings on live TV destroyed, or the workers who heard on the local news team that they will not be working again until the destroyed building is repaired. In a matters of minutes, their livlihoods have been taken away from them. They left work and probably within 30 minutes, poof, their workplace was crushed by a semi thrown off the road by high winds.

My daughter was in a car with a friend driving down the highway as one of the twisters swung over that area..I frantically was texting her, telling them to pull over NOW. She's fine, when the twisters finally passed over that spot, she texted that the sun was peeking thru, they were back on the road and added: "well, that was intense".

And I/we have to hear talking heads fretting that chimpass lived in the area???
