Several amateur videos of the tornado have been posted online including this one which shows the size relative to the city as well as the damage.

An initial estimate reported that 300 homes were destroyed in Oklahoma.

“Rescue workers raced against time and darkness Monday night looking for survivors after a powerful tornado blasted an area outside of Oklahoma City, leveling homes and leaving at least 51 people dead.

At least 20 of the dead were children, including at least seven from Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, which lay directly in the path of the monster storm’s wall of wind.” [CNN]

Heartbreaking.

Pandor said that following the London Olympics, the UK promised to focus on whether the visa requirement for SA citizens travelling to there could be lifted, but nothing has happened since.

“Frustrated by Britain’s apparent reluctance to lift its visa requirements for South Africans, government is considering playing tit-for-tat and demanding the same from UK visitors. “

“If government decides to implement a reciprocal visa regime, UK visitors – including government officials and diplomats – would have to apply for visas.” [News24]

Word from the British High Commission in Pretoria is that they are concerned that SA passports are available to people who are not entitled to them…ie. that we are still corrupt and sh*t.

He has a point.

That is a pretty damn outstanding following and he’s done it pretty much under the radar.

Ya hey…as far as i can tell he’s the second most followed person in South Africa…ranked higher than Nelson Mandela even.

Why is he so popular…well i’m taking it his YouTube videos have a lot to do with it, but i’m not his target audience so don’t listen to me.

Props though…kid is not even twenty and has created a huge following.

Brands should be all over him.

Pretty hard to ignore this.

Amazing. Not often the Ozzies get a slow clap from me, but that deserves one.

And here’s a video explaining how it works.

I could actually think of few more implications where that would be useful. As advertising space during running events or other sports where competitors need to cool down.

Get on it marketing people…don’t make me do your job for you.

I’ll take 10%. Thanks.

You see Melvyn just won $500 000 on one of those scratch cards. Lucky you say?

Hold that thought till i tell you that this damn guy retired in 2007 after winning $1 million on a scratch card. Oh and he also won $500 000 in 2004. And $25 000 in 2005.

Dude is pimping.

“They were already calling Melvyn Wilson “Mr. Lucky” back in 2005, when he hit the lottery three times in 10 months: $500,000 in November 2004, $25,000 in March 2005, and then $1 million from a scratch-off bought at a Woodbridge gas station in September 2005. Two years later, the postal worker retired. Now, he’s done it again: Wilson, 72, bought, scratched and won another $500,000 at the Handy Dandy Market on Occoquan Road in Woodbridge recently, the Virginia Lottery announced Tuesday.” [Washington Post]

Wonder if he wears a hat to stop random people from rubbing his head.
