You won’t BELIEVE how fast that Indiana tornado was moving

A string of violent tornadoes hit Indiana and Ohio this week.

And one tornado that touched down in Kokomo, IN wasn’t moving NASCAR fast — but it was close.

The National Weather Service says a preliminary damage survey shows the EF3 tornado that hit Kokomo had an estimated peak wind of 152 mph.

The weather service says the tornado traveled nearly 5 miles on the city’s south side Wednesday, was about 300 yards wide and lasted 10 minutes.

It says the tornado destroyed a Starbucks near the Markland Mall.

The weather service earlier had classified the tornado as an EF3, which can have peak winds of 165 mph.

    Some quick back of envelope calculations tells me that this “rebate” will “break the bank”. In other words, after the rebate is paid, or “money system” will collapse and, if Obama has his way, be replaced with the New World Currency. First a debit card with an RFID. Then later replaced with the RFID in your right hand. Invest your rebate in something with value.
