Their deaths are a major loss! They, however, were chasing the wrong storm, instead they should have been EXPOSING the operators of HAARP, warfare with weather control! Now, it not only can make bad weather, it can make bad weather GOOD—THINK ABOUT THAT!!! FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
hard to feel bad for people driving into tornadoes. Did they get it on tape?
I’ve always thought that they were INSANE.
Yes, they recovered tape, but it’s been reported that Discovery is Not releasing the footage. The closest we will see is the footage fron #1NWO’s earlier post and the show that aires tonight (what they Chose to edit in).
Natural selection at work?Hang on,they teach “creationism” round there.
Didn’t see THAT one coming.
My heart goes out to the families. These guys are doing a job, and they get braver each year. Maybe they have found the line. Lots of insane footage from this storm. I’d say that the cumulative damage from these storms is as bad or worse than OK has ever seen. I’m not ready to jump on the Haarp wagon, but the weather does seem to be quite unpredictable and unusual for the last several years. I would venture changes due to the Sun of G-d as the most reasonable explanation. 99.9% of energy and thus life on earth is received from our sun. If the sun delivers, or the earth receives this energy in a changing manner, it will affect the weather patterns among other things.
Apparently their spoon was too short.
“When you dine with the Devil, bring a long spoon.”
I have a theory. I believe Russia and China are engaging Amerika in HAARP WAR 1. They supposedly signed a treaty saying that they wouldn’t use the HAARP weapons against each other but that appears not to be true.
I know in Florida they used HAARP to slam us with five Category 5 hurricanes in one year. Our home insurance went up 800%. The banksters got rich. Once they got their payday, the hurricanes stopped.
