2/1/2011 Joplin, MO Epic Blizzard Conditions

[rayn1988]

I think I'll just keep my 04 awd Jeep Grand Cherokee. I never got stuck in it in the snow even driving through ditches.

8lb. bag of oranges for $3.85 is not a bad price

[TheRayrap09]

I no it was 20+ inches of snow but I expected brand names like JEEP an CHEVORLET 4*4 Vehicles to jus plow through but NOO.. My mom's Compass got stuck in the drive an then my dad got his Blazzer stuck trying to help us. This all went down before i got my new RAM 1500 4*4 with a 3 inch lift; BRING IT ON BLIZZARD, BRING IT ON!!! I'll be laughing while other loosers are getting stuck

[bnvn1]

@TheRayrap09 Um, a Jeep Compass? Really? That's is like comparing my Toyota Sequoia to a Rav4. Hope you made it through the tornado ok.

[kgracielu2005]

i recorded the snow coming down, and when i look back ,, it came down faster than i thought,, whats up with this shit, blizzard, ef5 tornado, now the fucking heat, thats not normal

[movement26]

Please stop with the God hates Joplin drivel. Do you really think that the creator of the entire cosmos singles out individual towns and cities for punishment...........Let us move forward into the 21st century with some rational thinking.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

@movement26 Yeah. I really wish they would shut up.

[carebear7703]

First crazy amount of snow fall, and then a devastating tornado. My heart goes out to all the people in Joplin, Missouri as well as their family and friends.

[SPS148669]

And the yankees call Canada the great white north??????

[TheChicagomix]

beside the point, why do people in missouri pronounce it "missoura"?

[GunBroker100]

@TheChicagomix Because we can. Why do people in Colorado pronounce it Colorada or even Colorader? Why ask why? Others view many things said by people from other places with amusement.

[IamaKinsey06]

@TheChicagomix They don't. Only the rural people do, primarily in the Southern part of the state. Most people around Joplin pronounce it Missouri though.

[glacierview]

Seems like this poor town has been hit hard in the last year....this is nothing compared to what they must live through now...my prayers are with each and every citizen.................

First this, then the twisters. The only possible conclusion is that GOD HATES JOPLIN. Time to move somewhere else where it's actually pleasant to live.

[mlsk7]

@spiegel "The only possible conclusion is that GOD HATES JOPLIN"

Just Joplin?! #LOL How about the oil spill, Katrina, the Mississippi river, the twin towers, etc.... God hates the USA!

[AlexRomania1988]

@mlsk7 how do you make the LOL thing.. i forgot :P

[Speechless501]

@spiegel there IS no place "pleasant" to live anymore. there are problems everywhere because we're in the end times. it was all predicted in the Bible. God doesn't hate anyone.

[traslomita]

@Speechless501 yes no1 hates no1 cuz is no 1 no where

[nomadcowatbk]

@spiegel

Why does he punish conservative towns in the bible belt then? The GOP stands for God's Own Party

[IamaKinsey06]

@nomadcowatbk And what about us socialist radical liberals who live here???? I'd like to hear your explanation for why "God punishes Joplin" when there are many of us lefties who live here too. Or are you just too stupid to understand basic weather principles and the fact that Joplin sits right where two large conflicting air masses meet? If you swapped the entire populations of Berkeley and Joplin, you'd still have the same weather events happening here.

[nomadcowatbk]

@IamaKinsey06

it was sarcasm

[IamaKinsey06]

@spiegel Oh blow it out your ass spiegel1, you blithering, babbling moron. This is a wonderful place to live, and I was born in Orange County, CA and spent 37 years there and in L.A. At least we don't have smog and traffic and shallow people here. The people here take the weather all in stride because they're tough and can take it. And it's just plain interesting too.

[mswan12]

poor Joplin. What a mess!

[markmarshall39]

a blizzard, then destruction, is there something going on with the planet?

[goran2009]

hey people, there will be a big tornado in 4 months time....

[CirrusIceCrystal12]

@goran2009 What are you trying to be harold camping?

[lownsloluda]

this blizzard was hardly anything near epic. the only thing epic is missouri's epic failure at plowing their roads. i was raised in joplin but spent 3 winters in michigan and have driven in blizzards that were atleast twice as bad as this and dropped twice as much show in a quarter of the time. i didnt even have a problem driving my car anywhere the day after the blizzard and never got stuck once. if you dont know how to drive in show, walk or stay home, its really that simple...

[MofamilyGamer5]

@lownsloluda

Yet it was dropping 3-4 inches if snow in a half hour and then 1-2.Also your grammar sucks ass and you cant spell snow right.Most of the plowers slid off the road because of the ice.A storm earlier that day dropped an inch of icemaybe a little under.DO NOT WORRY THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE STUCK UP ASSHOLES.

[lownsloluda]

@MofamilyGamer5

1) i really dgaf about my grammar.

2) EVEN WITH AN INCH OF ICE I STILL MANAGED TO NOT GET STUCK ONCE!!

3) you lay down salt BEFORE the ice hits to prevent ice from sticking to the roads (another failure of the DOT)

4) it NEVER dropped 3-4 inches of snow in 30 minutes you ignorant asshat...

[MofamilyGamer5]

@lownsloluda

Yes it did u prick.At least where i was get a life you fag.GET BLOCKED

[FinalBreathofAnalog]

Indeed,my friends car is still in the shop cause she messed it up so bad in the snow .

[HighnRichChiller]
