Outrage: Meteriologist Prays to Jesus as He Watches Tornado Hit Small Town

Tornado

“A Mississippi meteorologist broke down on air while reporting the news of an emerging tornado that swept through the region killing at least 26 people.

Matt Laubhan, the chief meteorologist for local network WTVA, appeared to struggle to contain his emotions as he told the viewers that the town of Amory was going to take the direct hit.

‘Oh, man. Dear Jesus, please help them. Amen,’ he prayed, as updates of the tornado’s movements came in.”

It is unconscionable for a meteorologist to break out in prayer during a weather report. Laubhan’s plea to Jesus wasn’t going to alleviate the fears of all the non-Christian and atheist viewers. I can imagine how outraged evangelicals would be if a Muslim meteorologist pleaded with Allah to have mercy on the infidels, or if a Native American weatherman broke out in a dance in an appeal to this deity to alter the course of the tornado away from his town.

Should we cut Laubhan some slack because the tornado was going to take a direct hit on his own community? Hell no! It’s incumbent upon a meteorologist to maintain a professional demeanor, especially during a disaster.

If firefighters break down in tears or in prayer if they respond to a fire in my house, I would demand that they be fired.

Laubhan should summarily be fired, his prayer was an insult to his profession, and to his viewers, Christians, and non-Christians alike.

Canadian Dude Mows Lawn With Tornado Behind Him

“A Canadian man`s commitment to lawn care is going viral after his wife snapped a photo of him mowing the grass with a tornado looming behind him.

Cecilia Wessels posted a photo to Facebook that she said was snapped Friday as a tornado passed near their Three Hills, Alberta home.
The photo shows Wessels` husband, Theunis, mowing the lawn with the tornado in the background.

Wessels later explained the tornado was not as close as it appeared to be in the photo and was moving away from their home at the time.”

My thoughts:

Tornadoes in Canada?

Talk about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I`m surprised you can actually grow a lawn in the vast frigid wasteland that is Canada.

Perhaps this man was tired of his meaningless life in Canada and was seeking to commit suicide by tornado.

Or he could be one of those anal-retentive wankers who spends more time maintaining his lawn than he does maintaining his automobile and personal relationships.

Maybe his wife is such a nagging witch that he`d rather be outside mowing his lawn with a tornado bearing down on him, than inside with her.

He claimed that the tornado was actually moving away from his house. Hello! Tornadoes are unpredictable, they can turn on a dime.

After reading this story I`m grateful I don`t:

Live in Canada, am obsessed with my lawn, or have a nagging wife.
