Picher, OK Wedge Tornado viewed just north of I44

Hey great capture Chris! Check out my video of this tornado the birth of it!

I am also on stormtrack now!

im pretty sure the government was trying to buy out homes in picher before the tornado due to the air or something like that ...sorry for not knowing what to be exact

So just because we live in a rural area we deserve to be hit by a tornado? I've never heard anyone speak so ignorantly in my life. And I live in a small rural city so you'd think I'd have met plenty of people like you. One day karma will catch up to you for being such a cold hearted asshole.

ProfessorIgor what makes you think Picher won't be rebuilt. I live near there and just so you know they are doing very well thank you very much!!

Sorry I sincerely doubt pitcher is going to be rebuilt. It is a toxic mess! Have you not seen the mountains of lead-laced mine tailings? Heard the collapsing mines that threaten most of the town? Seen the orange river full of toxic heavy metals? You do know picher was named the most toxic town in the whole of the US by the EPA right?The govt was paying people to MOVE OUT, it is so unsafe. Picher will cease to exist as a muncipality on Sept 1s, 2009. Its not being rebuilt.

boxeschow you are 100% wrong, and I am a meteorology major telling you this. Tornadoes do not need open spaces to form - a cities downtown area would have no affect on its formation - nor will more cities that "pop up" in tornado alley decrease the annual number of tornadoes. Quite the opposite, there will be more damage and so more recorded tornadoes.

im glad my great grandpa and grandma didnt have to go through this RIP.. wish i could have grabbed the patterson street sign named after him before this =\

this is for paige279 I live in Picher and I am not waiting on no buyout never field out papers I love it here. And we want to stay..

Aren't you worried about lead poisoning, and mine collapses?

omg that was amazing it was moving lol
