Republican Kansas Senator killed during Tornado

www.yahoo.com

Several people were injured by the weekend's tornadoes, which killed an elderly man in Marengo and three people in Missouri and ripped through parts of Nebraska and Kansas. High wind was blamed for a fourth Missouri death and two in Kansas.

In Kansas, high wind was blamed for two deaths in separate accidents Saturday on Interstate 70 in northwest Kansas, including that of state Sen. Stan Clark, R-Oakley. Clark was killed when his car was rear-ended by a tractor-trailer after the wind blew dust that cut visibility, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.

1. Sorry to hear
He more than likely was a selfish scumbag, but this is tragic news for his family.

I-70 in a tornado is NOT a good place to be..there are few exits, and that part of Kansas is very sparsely populated..

Condolences to his family :(

5. That's awful.
The storms which spawned tornadoes in Indianapolis earlier today (killing 1, at least) rolled through here about an hour ago... they were furious, and scary.

Very sad.

7. Glad to see...
that we on the left have true compassion, we are the antithesis of the Freepers. I feel sorry for his family, regardless of politics this is a tragedy, no one deserves dying like that.
