I'm glad to hear that the death toll has been revised downwards, but even so it's terrible that anyone died. Tornadoes are terrifying things; I would never want to have to face one. Hope everyone here is okay and that their loved ones are also okay.

Think the Republicans will try to find some way to blame this on Obama?
Not this one but I do not have to like him or. the. way. he. talks.

I can't help but feel like they're being picked on for some reason. A saying I live by is 'everything happens for a reason'.

Well, I'm not sure if you mean Obama, Republicans, or Oklahomans are being picked on, but I can state without any hesitation at all that there is no reason beyond that we happen to occupy a planet that is it's own living (if you will) entity, and part of that living planet means that when hot air meets cool air in a certain way, tornados develop, and nowhere in the world does this happen more frequently than the stretch along Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas. Northern Alabama and Mississippi. This is so prevalent in this area that it's known as Tornado Alley. In a similar fashion, when Mt St Helens erupted so violently almost exactly 33 years ago, there were some that pointed to this as God bing angry with us or mother earth or whatever they wanted to call it, either unaware or ignoring the fact that Volcanoes abound here in the northwest, that St Helens got there in the same way, as did Rainier and Hood and Shasta and Crater Lake in particular. That is why, because compared to the planet we live on we are tiny specks of matter.

Depends on what you mean by a reason. This is nature, it is unpredictable. If you think the reason applies to this particular community then I have to disagree strongly, nature doesn't pick a group of people and say "I'm gonna tornado all over them today". Are you somehow trying to say that they might have deserved this?
