This storm is now officially an EF-5, the strongest grade of storm known, with winds up to 210 miles an hour. According to the Huffington Post:
Several meteorologists contacted by The Associated Press used real time measurements, some made by Schumacher, to calculate the energy released during the storm's 40-minute life span. Their estimates ranged from 8 times to more than 600 times the power of the Hiroshima bomb, with more experts at the high end. Their calculations were based on energy measured in the air and then multiplied over the size and duration of the storm.
With that kind of power, it's a wonder we have only 24 dead (revised downward from 51 yesterday).
Watch Chris Hayes' coverage of this if you can. He's doing a spectacular job.
The images coming out of Moore, Oklahoma are just incredible. 
51 people dead (as of this writing). A mile-wide swath of destruction. At least an EF-4 in strength, perhaps an EF-5. 200+ mph winds.
And even after this, there will still be assholes who deny the reality of climate change.This entry was originally posted at http://redheadedfemme.dreamwidth.org/149
I'm not an atheist, but this is funny.
The issue of the Bibles in the state park cabins came to light after former American Atheist President Ed Buckner rented one of the lodges last month and filed a complaint on April 28 after finding nine Bibles in his cabin.
The Bibles were removed by GADNR officials but Governor Deal ordered the Bibles back by executive order, saying he does “not believe that a Bible in a bedside table drawer constitutes a state establishment of religion.”
“American Atheists does not believe the State of Georgia should be placing Bibles or atheist books in state park cabins; however, if the state is going to allow such distribution, we will happily provide our materials,” said President David Silverman.
That's called being hoist atop your own petard.

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
This is just stupid, unnecessary, petty revenge.
The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts wants to make one thing clear: they do not want the late Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev buried in their town.
[snip]
Funeral director Peter Stefan however told reporters he has not found a cemetery in the state willing to take the body.
"We have to bury this guy. Whatever it is, whoever he is, in this country we bury people," Stefan told local media on Sunday.
Protesters meanwhile have gathered outside the funeral home waving US flags and clutching signs demanding that the body be sent to Russia. A local activist has even started a fund to ship out the body.
Protests won't bring back the dead, or reattach limbs that were blown off. Fighting the uncle who had nothing to do with the bombing, and moreover immediately and unequivocally condemned his nephews for doing such a thing, only makes the protesters look like selfish assholes.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev already paid the ultimate price. Holding his body hostage accomplishes nothing. Let it go.
