1. Watching the Weather Channel and they introduced a "white zone" ...

it's a zone where there is an 80%> chance of a tornado occurring. They just started doing this and looking at the areas, it's BIG.

4. The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers

only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Seriously, though, may everyone be safe.

9. Excuse me!!! But why would a couple more tornadoes

taking out trailer parks be a good thing? I am in north-central Georgia in the path of the incoming severe storms and possible tornadoes, and I live in a trailer park. Why would you even say that?

10. I replied to the deleted message because

the poster said that tornadoes taking out trailer parks would be a good thing.
