Yeah I know this happened a couple of nights ago but I can't believe that this story is getting as much press as its getting outside of the city. I dunno, it could be that I think the majority of events that happen in Indiana often get underwhelming press coverage. And I was just as the fair on Tuesday (might go again tomorrow, not sure).

And for those who are wondering yes, the weather is just as crazy and unpredictable in this city as people said it is. I wasn't even aware of a storm until I saw lightening flashes through the window. I also find that weather sites never ever ever get Indiana weather right. It will say it's gonna rain when it doesn't and it will say it's gonna be sunny when it ain't. It's pretty annoying.

Yes, as I've heard my friends say many times, "our weather is bipolar".

The climates are changing and the weather gets more and more apocalyptic every day. Guess I better go start writing my will. Or get some suicide pills. :roll:

Well I was watching CNN about this and they were talking about that the fair ground owners or whatever ignored their own protocal for severe weather...so this may be why it is getting so much press
or
it the BS machine which means make a big deal out of a local event to distract the public from what going on in congress. Maybe someone should check and see what bills they are trying to pass right now. That might have alot to do with all this BS reporting.

when the press is distracting folks it is best to look in the opposite dirrection.

The reporting of the collapse is not a "distraction" or "BS", it's a terrible tragedy that warrants all the national coverage it has received.
