I mean there's the time that a clone trooper was blown out into space when his gun turret blew up. Also at least one TIE Fighter pilot did the same thing.
Problem is they didn't get to come back inside.

I'm sorry. I didn't and still don't believe you're just explaining something you aren't asserting as fact.

You know how every one of those people injured, killed, or made homeless by a tornado voted? Sounds to me like you just want to validate your hatred and disdain for people whose value you don't acknowledge.

I've said it before, but compassion is Dead. The idea that "these people vote wrong and therefore don't deserve to be helped" is appalling.

You can move wherever you want. Tornados still aren't frequent enough to make that a priority in most people's minds. I have family in Oklahoma. There are tornadic storms every year, but none have affected any of them directly.

You can get anywhere from five minutes warning to about half an hour.
A big problem is that these things are hard to pinpoint. You can be in the general path of the storm but have the dangerous winds happen six blocks over from where you live.

Reply to comment by plunki in Factory that uses nuclear fusion to make heavier elements by DEATH_CORNER
Agreed. To clarify, I don't think we have the energy to produce industrial quantities of heavy elements. Also the cost would be insanely prohibitive.

Right now we're having a heck of a time figuring out how to mash hydrogen into helium. We can do it for a few seconds at a time. Imagine trying to fuse lead into gold. It would take energies we can't yet harness on Earth.
