Literally the hand of God.
Good. Maybe saved some people’s lives.
Thankful and grateful for the mild case of tornado because of the vaccine, Pfizer?
Actually I think the describe Tornadoes as the finger of God. Two Mile debris field. I wouldn’t advise drinking the water unless you want a couple extra nipples.
Pfffs on Pfizer.
It looks like the plant took a direct hit:

Karma is a bitch.
Well, you gotta start smashing this shit somewhere, I guess.
Is there a Go Fund Me set up for that hurricane? Iβd like to make a donation.
there is a God in the Heavens,and He does listen to the righteous prayers of His children.
Thank you. Amen.
So you’re saying DC is next?
We rarely get tornadoes here, very rarely. I saw the aftermath of the tornado that hit Paris, Texas in 1982. Scary and fascinating. A few weeks later, I had to drive into a tornado storm to get to my apartment. It was night and I stopped on a ridge about 15 miles out and just watched the light show. Later, as I tried to sleep, I listened as a funnel went overhead like a freight train (people always said that, then I understood). The locals told me that because the town was in a low spot, tornadoes usually hopped over it. I was glad of that.
My little brother worked for Pfizer in North Carolina. He had to go to England to train his replacements when it consolidated his division (being an EU based company, it favored shutting down the US branch).
I have inspected pole lines after two different tornadoes but have never witnessed one personally. Pretty destructive!
