Up-close, extreme footage of the intense Macksville, KS tornado on June 15, 2009. This tornado passed a few hundred yards in front of the vehicle as it split into two vortices ripping trees from the ground, and then turned southwest and headed straight for us! TornadoVideos.net was recording vertical wind data with the mobile radar (CLOVER). Check out TornadoVideos.net for more extreme footage, and be sure to watch Storm Chasers on Discovery Channel this fall for more insane tornado action!…

EDWARDS Makes Dumbest Statement Ever by a Presidential Candidate

RUSH: To the audio sound bites. We’re going back to the Democrat debate yesterday. The theme of the debate was that we should be talking with our enemies. The Breck Girl said that he’s going to sit down at the table with Iran and make a proposal.

EDWARDS: I think we have a clear path for America and for — for our friends on Iran, and that path is to work with our friends in Europe to put up a choice between carrots and sticks on the table for the Iranian people.

RUSH: Okay. When it comes to the real enemy, though, Edwards will not negotiate with evil, the drug companies. He will not appear on Fox News. But he will indeed go talk to the mullocracy, if you will, Ahmadinejad in Iran.

EDWARDS: There’s a fundamental question here. Whether you believe, whether voters believe the way we’re going to have universal health care is to deal with those people, to make a deal with them. I don’t. I don’t think it will work.

RUSH: Universal health care, single payer, that means everybody pays for everybody’s health care in the form of much higher taxes and a rotten system that would result from it. But he doesn’t want to get the drug companies involved; not going to talk to them; can’t be done; can’t strike a deal with evil pharmacies; can’t strike a deal with Big Pharma, can’t do it, no, no, no. We can go talk to Iran. We go talk to Castro. We can talk to all these people, but we can’t talk to the drug companies, can’t talk to fellow Americans. They are the real enemy. He was also asked a question from an e-mailer. Stephanopoulos read it. E-mail question from Seth Ford of South Jordan, Utah. "My question is to understand each candidate’s view of a personal God. Do they believe that through the power of prayer, disasters like Katrina or the Minnesota bridge collapse could have been prevented or lessened?"

EDWARDS: The answer to the question is no. I don’t — I — I — I prayed before my 16-year-old son died, I prayed before Elizabeth was diagnosed with cancer. I think there are some things that are beyond our control, and I think it is enormously important to look to God, and in my case, Christ, for guidance and for wisdom, but I don’t think you can prevent bad things from happening through prayer.

RUSH: All right. You may not be able to prevent bad things from happening through prayer, but you can make brilliant and great things happen by voting Democrat. October 11th, 2004, on the campaign trail.

EDWARDS: When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.

RUSH: Right. So we’re not going to pray to God for anything, no, no, no, but Democrats are going to do these be miracles. Democrats can stop the bridge collapses. Democrats can stop Hurricane Katrina. Democrats could re-steer that after Bush and Rove are steering it right into New Orleans and Minneapolis. But all of this, folks, is really insignificant compared to a story on an ABC blog that I found over the weekend. ABC News’ Rick Klein reports, "When an Iowa resident asked former Senator John Edwards whether the US should follow the Cuban health care model, Edwards deflected the question, saying he didn’t know enough to answer it." The Breck Girl said, "Well, I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t know a lot about Cuba’s health care system. Is it a government-run system?" Now, folks, this is perhaps the dumbest thing a political candidate has ever said. Yeah, ABC. "He also flip-flopped in the same appearance whether he had seen Sicko or not. First he said he had, and then he said he hadn’t."

Why do you have to see Sicko to know what Cuba’s health care system is? This is worse than Dukakis and the tank. This is worse than Dan Quayle spelling potato with an e on it. This ought to disqualify him. He doesn’t know what Cuba’s health care system is? "Is it a government-run system?" I think this comes close to Gerald Ford with that faux pas in his debate where he said that the Eastern bloc of countries was not under Soviet domination. A guy running for president, we just heard a bite, talking about universal health care, he will not talk to the drug companies about it; he’ll go meet with Iran and offer them a deal; we can’t deal with real Americans; can’t deal with the drug companies. But he doesn’t even know what type of health care system Cuba has, when by reputation it’s the best in the world, according to people on his side of the aisle.

My mom and her friend just started an on-line hurricane supply website it has generators, first aid kits for any where from single person to 16 people first aid kits and children and animal first aid kits, crank tv/radio, flashlights, candles, batteries of all sizes, lanterns, helpful hints, and connects with a broward county top of the line tree service for before or after the storm.

Its something they built with helping others on their minds. We haven’t had any hits and i wanna do my part in helping her. She wants me to advertise as much as possible on-line without spending a dime. Can you help.

Maybe if you have any suggestions on souping up the page you can check it out at www.onestophurricaneshop.net

im considering moving toward that area and buying a condo or house. Anyone got any insurance info?

I have found myself most comfortable crashing out on the picnic table after everyone else has pooped out and quieted down. Seems I don’t like being enclosed in any kind of shelter. But in the even of bad weather, I’ll stick with my little teardrop trailer. She’s waterproof. What’s you game plan when camping?

Just got power and internet here in Houston and I’m curious of what happened.

Life without power sucks by the way.

Hot, hot, hot.

I live in Florida, and just 2 years ago, we had 4 hurricanes hit my state within 5 weeks. The National Hurricane Center actually ran out names to call the storms, and so moved to the Greek alphabet. Now in 2006, we've only had one weak storm hit us, and the hurricanes are few and weak. How does the EL Nino Effect cause this very slow hurricane season as compared to the very recently active ones?

I live in South Florida, and I know that the hurricane has been predicted to go west of florida, but we all know that hurricanes can make drastic turns. What do you think will happen?

I'm just thinking about the recent three years - The Tsunami in Thailand, Katrina, the cyclone in Myanmar and now the earthquake in China. Additionally, the weather patterns appear more unpredictable and destructive. Is it too simplistic to blame it all on global warming trends due to the unrestrained burning of fossil fuels?

I am looking for scientific data on how long it takes sand to make this trip naturally. I suspect millions of years but am not certain. If anyone can direct me to a web site for this I would appreciate it. I am also looking for data on how far out a storm surge travels from the center of a hurricane.

and are there any photos/videos of them??

give me a specified page and tell me to use any search engine….help me plz its important
tell me any specified page and dont tell me to use any search engine .help me plzzzzzzzzzzz

On May 13th 2009, Matt Van Every leads Extreme Tornado Tours to within 100 feet of a violent tornado before they have to rapidly BACK UP! The video was shot 5 miles east of Kirksville, MO on SH11 by tour guest Blake Knapp. Large debris crashed all around them as it passed 50 feet behind a house.

With the anniversary of 2 of the most tragic events in the history of the United States(Hurricane Katrina, 9/11) how do you feel about our nations ability to handle crisis?

cause to the democrat party in November?? Are there those in DC who are boarding up their windows and stocking up on supplies in anticipation of hurricane Sarah who is a category 2 hurricane at this time, expected to increase to a cat. 5 by November…
B. Hussein…she's up to a 4 already???…I stand corrected…lol

Hurricane Ike is on the way here. I just found out today that it’s going to hit us. I haven’t talked it out with my parents, or they haven’t talked to me about it.

I’ve never had packed or been in a hurricane situation before. So, I need help. Please, list all the important things to pack. Doesn’t matter that it’s long. As long that’s important for my safety.

Also, let me know where’s a very good place to stay at. I was thinking staying at a hotel, or a supermarket whatever is safe to go.

I have a pet rabbit, and I want to take her with me. Of course I care about her. Anyways, I don’t know much what to do, just please let me know whatever I need to know. Thanks!

I was looking at the thing titled “Coastal Watches/Warnings and 5-Day Track Forecast Cone” and I’m clueless as to why there are hurricane warnings when there isn’t a hurricane. Someone please explain what the deal is with this.

Dramatic footage of Hurricane Ike’s fury shot in Galveston Texas.

TVN’s RC Super Hauler aircraft deployed multiple parachute probes into the inflow region of the MONSTER supercell thunderstorm that eventually spawned the Aurora, NE tornado. This same storm produced several tornadoes hours before reaching Aurora, including those captured here, west of Grand Island and northeast of Kearney. For more on the TVN RC plane project, visit TornadoVideos.net, and tune in to Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers this fall!

They’re not plexiglass, just sturdy plastic about 4 mm thick. Should I put masking tape on them?
People put masking tape on their windows to keep the shards from flying everywhere when they shatter.
BTW, I didn't ask if I should move. I asked a question about windows.

I have never been in a hurricane because I live by the pacific ocean, california. All I’ve ever seen is satellite images, but I would like to know, do hurricanes form in the water, or the sky?

Here’s a picture of something a website claims is a hurricane:

Please tell me if they happen in the sky or water? I’m clueless. If the picture above is fake or real?
Please answer!
Don't laugh at me, I don't know anything about hurricanes.
