Sometimes I can't believe people are like this!
"Lone Grove firefighters methodically searched each damaged or destroyed structure, spray-painting a large "X" on homes after inspection. Residents were then allowed to check for belongings.
Authorities gave as much as 35 minutes of warning that a twister was approaching.
The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning at 6:50 p.m., meaning a twister was imminent and residents should take shelter. Another warning was issued at 7:15 p.m. when the actual tornado was spotted. It hit Lone Grove at 7:25 p.m.
"A lot of people just didn't leave," Carter County Sheriff Ken Grace said. "

is it sad that a tornado wiped a town out, yes
should these people look to live where tornados don't roll through town, yes
is 35 minutes more than enough time to remove your ass from where the tornado is going to hit- DUH!
and all I can do is shake my head!
