Hurricane Ike is postponing the Astros/Cubs game on Friday and Saturday. Will the Astros finally slow down, and will the Cubs get back on track?
I personally don’t rely on the sirens. They can malfunction and don’t always go off and also don’t tell you where the storm is headed.
I use the "Tornado" in my old used car and get 1/3 better gas milage ….
I live in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and they are calling for tornadoes/ hail/ high winds/ severe lighting. Is this normal? Do you think it will get that bad?
this may or may not be true, but why is it coming up so much?
By Jamal Dicky
I have to give Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, the congressman from the Philippines, his props for taking it to Antonio Margarito on Saturday night in Texas.
I didn’t buy the fight, but I did watch it at a friends house, cause I was boycotting the Pay-per-view because of Antonio Margarito getting a license to fight again and collect to 7 million win or lose and the simple fact that Manny Pacquiao refuses to take Olympic style random blood testing against Floyd Mayweather Jr .
We shouldn’t reward someone who was caught cheating with illegal handwraps one of the most unforgivable sins in boxing. That is attempted murder, but no use in complaining since Manny took care of business and busted the Tijuana Tornado’s face so badly including his orbital bone, which required surgery.
However, I wasn’t fully impressed with Manny Pacquiao’s win over Margarito. It was nothing new, I seen Manny go against that same type of style — big guy, no foot work, no head movement, no hand speed, slow and predictable. It’s a way to sell Manny to the masses as this invincible little man who can take out giants, but the hardcore boxing fan is still waiting for Manny to fight a different style of fighter — a slick African American boxer with speed and accuracy.
I believe that Manny Pacquiao’s handlers — Freddie Roach and Bob Arum — know that their fighter’s kryptonite is Slick black fighters. It’s been known through out history the best fighters in boxing are African American fighters.
When Manny moved up to 135 he fought the weakest of champions, David Diaz, for his WBC belt, and won the lightweight strap by knockout. Pacquiao cut Diaz up so bad and knocked him out in the 9th round.
That belt had no significance. The man at the time was Nate Campbell who won the lineal title from Juan Diaz. Juan Diaz held the distinction as the man at 135 pounds until Nate Campbell beat him up in a lopsided decision that took so much out of Juan that he was never the same again. Arum avoided making a super fight between Nate Campbell the real champion at 135 because he was too risky for Manny to fight, instead, he decided just to let Manny fight David Diaz who was also Arum’s fighter.
Manny Pacquiao is a product of proper image publicity and matchmaking similar to Lady Gaga, a pop singer who uses gimmicks to capture the attention to make people believe she actually is the most talented singer when she is just a studio creation, take away all her outlandish clothing and make-up you are left with a basic singer with no personality or outstanding voice.
As Pacquiao went up in weight he was pit in with Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito — all are flat footed, come forward boxers with no slick defensive skills and either coming off a loss or horrible performances.
The moment that Manny and his people put him in there with a slick African American boxer, people watching will see the truth and Manny Pacquiao’s weaknesses will be exposed.
The closest thing to a prime slick fighter that Manny fought was Juan Manuel Marquez, and in both fights Manny Pacquiao lost on the majority of ringside observers cards, but he was gifted a draw in the first meeting and a split decision victory in the second.
Marquez was able to counter Manny with the right hand, throw fast combos in succession and prevent the Filipino dynamo from implementing his ferocious style. Marquez isn’t as fast as a Floyd Mayweather Jr., Andre Berto, or Timothy Bradley but he was still quicker than Manny and hit him all night.
I see Manny Pacquiao having the same problems he had with Marquez but worse if he ever stepped in the ring with the three black boxers mentioned above.
Manny only looks fast when he is put in with slow guys who don’t have any head movement or foot speed. Marquez had quicker combo’s than Manny and faster punch timing.
Pacquiao reminds me of Julio Cesar Chavez, He fought Meldrick Taylor in a controversial stoppage win, and he fought Pernell Whitaker a fight that Pernell should have won but was robbed by the judges.
Chavez had trouble with slick black fighters and got exposed in both fights. Manny will face the same fate the moment he faces one of these guys faster than him and with quick counter punch combos.
The remedy to defeat Manny Pacquiao is out there, but will we ever see Manny Pacquiao face one?

This all didn’t happen to me it happend thought southeastern wisconsin
I haven’t heard about tornadoes wiping away a city filled with skyscrapers or industrial areas or similar like NY or CA or TX or desert areas like las vegas, Nevada…usually areas like the countryside with vast fields? why do you think that’s the case? don’t look it up.I want to know your current opinions/hypothesis as to why tornadoes are prone in certain areas and not others.thanks.
In response to an earlier question I watched some of a video on YouTube and was quite shocked to see the people trotting out things like the Watchmaker argument and the ‘tornado in a junkyard’ nonsense as if they were still valid arguments. It’s hard to believe that these people aren’t aware that their arguments were debunked long ago, so are they just being blatantly deceptive and dishonest?
(I’m beginning to see why we get so many people here trotting out the same old arguments, if this is the kind of thing they’re watching…)
moddy almondy: I can believe that ordinary people don’t know, but people who’ve been thinking and preaching and proselytising about this sort of thing for many years must have heard their ideas debunked many times and be aware that they have no validity.

Yahweh’s Toaster: I think you must be right. It’s blatantly dishonest.
hi i just moved to oklahoma city and right now there are a lot of clouds and i heard its suppost to rain a lot tomarrow. my question is do you think there will be a tornado its been clear and warm the past few days and i was just wondering if anyone lives there or can tell me cuz im have never been anywhere during one and im kinda scared.
please answer!!!
this summmer. i was at my dads house and i was at the commmunity pool and clouds started to roll in. they were scary claous then the pool gotta call saying warning and crap and i got freaked out i found out i was the last one there with my cuz and bro i started crying and my step mom refused to take me home
We had a tornado warning last night and realized how unprepared we actually were. The power was out for like 3 hours and we had no working radio except for an mp3 player that only had an FM tuner, So it took a little while to hear a weather report. So my boyfriend says were going to get a weather radio or something, that will sound an alarm for bad weather. Any suggestions or advice for buying one of those would be great, like what to look for and stuff. We have a storm cellar but we haven’t been down there yet, its completely empty at the moment, any suggestions on what we should put in there? We have an old table we were thinking of putting down there and maybe some folding chairs or something and some bottles of water. I’m not really claustrophobic or anything but i think the idea of going down there scares me more than the tornado warnings. I dunno, this is kinda a little vent but any stormy weather advice would be greatly appreciated! ~Thanks
Im in oklahoma too! thanks for the answers so far! I was also wondering if it would get to hot down there to leave batterys and canned food and stuff down there? or will they be ok?

Would this go for 0 Easy on craigslist? It is brand new basically and custom.
How much would it go for on Ebay?
If I add sound activated lights how much would it be worth?
How much would this be retail? at walmart or bestbuy or something
I looked on other sites and they say my computer is worth 300 or less but I know this isnt true.
yeah thats what I thought, damn 6 core cpu comes out right when I decide to make this. But ddr3 isnt THAT much greater than ddr2.
I just only seen them on tv, but would love to go storm chasing and see one face to face. If you have seen one before, was it a small or large one?

I’m a fan of the Texas Tornado, but come on now, he’s had access to arguably the best team,bike and team mate for a while now. Where’s the results?? Is it time to give his place to someone else?
