Once again, Fear ruled the day in Dowtown Kansas City.
I'm totally pissed about this one given that tornado sirens ruined my nap time.
For that kind of offense, I feel like I'm entitled to grope Helen Hunt back when she was in top hottie Twister form . . .
Anyhoo . . .
TODAY'S KANSAS CITY DOWNTOWN TORNADO FEAR WAS NOT ONLY STUPID BUT ALSO UNNECESSARY GIVEN THAT NOTHING HAPPENED IN THE VICINITY!!!
Seriously, go ahead and make your argument that this kind of stupid panic is a necessity . . . Meanwhile, TKC REFUSES TO PLAY THE CHICKEN LITTLE GAMES OF FRIGHTENED WEATHER NEWSIES AND THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM!!!
On the bright side . . . It's nice to see so many people much more important than TKC run around even more panicked than usual.
For what it's worth, I'm just surprised that a bit of clouds and wind AND WAY TOO MUCH TV WATCHING can cripple Downtown KC with fear.

That type of cavalier attitude is what gets people killed when the big one actually hits.
ReplyDeleteWas there really "panic" and "fear"? Or just reasonable precaution? The storm that went into the Crown Center area had a history of dropping funnels during its entire route from northeast Miami County.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the weather people have no corner on hyperbole today.
Sedalia was hit badly Tony you fuck.
ReplyDeleteI was with a couple of police officers when the sirens sent off and people were instructed to take reasonable precautions.
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing was handled in a very deliberate, calm, professonal, and effective way, with first thoughts given to the safety of the young people in local schools.
You just get sillier and sillier, Tony. You should probally stick to such important issues as Royster/Rizzo and how many pwer players can fit on the head of a pin.
They hid at City Hall and that's just stupid.
ReplyDeleteNope. It's smart if there is a tornado in the area.
ReplyDeletePlease die.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who didn't take todays event seriously is an idiot. Anything could have happened.
ReplyDeleteTony...you must have a death wish.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit older than you, but not necessarily wiser: bit, I did survive the Hickman mills tornado, and was only a few feet from one in Lawrence. YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THESE STORMS AND THEIR DESTRUCTIVE POWER.
LOL@ Tony's weak trolling attempt. But bigger LOL for you morons actually believing it. Man you people are some dullards.
ReplyDeleteIs downtown supposed to be immune? Waco (1953), Nashville (1998) and a few other cities might be interested in hearing that.
ReplyDeleteno such thing as a "weak" tornado faggot.
ReplyDeleteThere was a real one in Waldo Tony. We are just lucky it did not touch down.
ReplyDeleteWe got lucky Tony.
tony, go reread bill koster. that was good.
ReplyDeleteSomebody should drive tee to Joplin for a day just to school him on living in the midwest. He doesn't get it.
Radioman et al, you all got sucked into the TKC troll. It was one of the weakest troll attempts of the year, and you all fell right in.Do you not understand this is a feeble cry for attention?
ReplyDeleteI have come to realize that you are like many of the right-wing talkers, you say stuff to hear yourself talk and to get attention.
ReplyDeleteBeing 'stupid hillbillies', tornadoes don't come to see us. So, I really wouldn't know. The picture does look ominous, though.
ReplyDeleteByron all you know is a big cock in your mouth. Well, maybe it wasn't that big..
ReplyDeleteI know a chicken-shit anonymous coward when I see one. Why are commentators on this blog obsessed with gay sex?
ReplyDeleteYou have a better chance of being a victim of a homicide, your killer getting away with the crime than being killed by a Tornadoe in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't worried because he was already in the basement.
ReplyDeleteAsk driver in Louisburg, KS, whose truck was picked up and tossed the road.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fool you are, Tony.
I'm new to this site. Is this Tony guy like 12 years old or something? Surely no adult would write something like this, especially after Reading, Joplin, and Sedalia.
ReplyDeleteIt's a darned shame that a person wasn't killed here and there yesterday in KC. I know that would make some of you complainers feel better about the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteKansas City is at the center of a large region. People from 100 miles or more away feel an attachment to KC. They come here to work and, in some cases, to pay KCMO's stupid E tax. They come here to buy their clothes, they attend our Royals and Chiefs games, and they come here to go to the doctor and/or hospital. If they're on a trip to Los Angeles or New York and someone asks them where they are from, they reply, "Kansas City."
But if guys like Tony were in charge, people in these "rural areas" would be written off.
How dare the local TV or radio station interrupt the mind numbing show I was watching or listening to in order to warn people in Ottawa or Warrensburg of a tornado.
I think a lot of people like Tony hate rural areas because, after all, they're just rube farmers. I'd keep writing, but I need to go to the store and get a gallon of milk and some bread. And the darned price better not have gone up!
12:53 nailed it
ReplyDeleteObviously the author had his head of his ass, which explains why he wasn't concerned. He couldn't hear anything. I was 20 blocks away at 435 and Metcalf when it was going due north before it started to take a little right. If it was him, he would have crapped his pants viewing a funnel that was lower than the Marriott
