Cowboys practice facility collapses
In what was either "thunderstorm-spawned winds" or a near-tornado, depending on which description you prefer (AccuWeather calls it a "microburst"), the Dallas Cowboys' six-year-old practice facility was flattened yesterday, its aluminum-frame roof collapsing on dozens of team employees and reporters there to cover practice. Latest word is that there were no life-threatening injuries, though one Cowboys coach did suffer broken vertebrae (he's not paralyzed, and is expected to make a full recovery). [UPDATE: Another Cowboys staffer wasn't as lucky.]
Dramatic video here and here. (Obligatory stadium controversy comment: The practice dome angered local residents when it opened in 2003, as it towered 80 feet over the surrounding neighborhood.)
Jones should have put a hole or at least clear plastic in the roof of the practice facility so God could look in. Since Jones once again scorned the Lord, bad things happened. It is not nice to anger God.
