Holyshit that is absolutely terrifying.
Conner Stines shared this...
“Last night, my sister and I were driving on I-35 when the Valley View tornado hit the gas station. We pulled into the gas station so that I could look at radar, and then we took shelter. That being said, here is a view from inside the Shell gas station!”- Why do people who submit or sell their home video to the news want to have their name on the video?nb

Elephants have names for each other like people do, new study shows
Researchers from CSU, Save the Elephants and ElephantVoices used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contained a name-like component identifying the intended recipient, a behavior they suspected based on observation. When the researchers played recorded calls, elephants responded affirmatively to calls that were addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. Calls meant for other elephants received less of a reaction.

Some facts about bamboo:
1.Fast Growth: Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It has been recorded at growing 47.6 inches in 24 hours. Some species can even grow over a meter per day under optimal conditions. A new bamboo shoot reaches its full height in less than a year.
2. Oxygen Release: A grove of bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than any other tree out there.
3. Carbon Dioxide Absorption: Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of 17 tons per hectare every year. It can act as a valuable carbon sink given how fast the plant grows.
4. No Fertilizer Required: Bamboo doesn’t need fertilizer to grow. It can self-mulch by dropping its leaves and use the nutrients to grow.
5. Drought Resistance: Bamboos are drought-tolerant plants. They can grow in the desert.
6. Wood Replacement: Bamboos can be harvested in 3-5 years compared to the 20-30 years of most softwood trees.
7. Building Material: Bamboo is incredibly strong and sturdy. It has been used as support for concrete as well as scaffolding, bridges, and houses.
8. Soil Stability: Bamboo has a wide network of underground roots and rhizomes that prevent soil erosion.
9. Natural Air Conditioner: Bamboo cools the air surrounding it by up to 8 degrees in the summer.
10. Invasiveness: Some species of bamboo, especially ‘running’ bamboos, can be invasive due to their extensive root systems, which allow them to spread rapidly. However, not all species are invasive, and with proper management, the environmental impact can be minimized.

- also bamboo is not a tree, it's a grass. all this seems suspect and not exactly factual. "cools the air up to 8 degrees in the summer"? C or F? only summer?sarahfailin
- giant kelp grows maybe 2 feet per day. increased transpiration cools the air combined with the shade providedimbecile
- and those fucking pandas are eating them up!!pango

- Not a real pic though is it? Not that tell and thick?_niko
- 5 is suspect. I don't think I've ever seen bamboo growing in desert conditions. Growing 2-4' a day suggests a massive water requirement.monNom

- Another thing Aus could lead the world in. But nah, overpriced housing and holes in the ground is all you need.MrT
- So easy to grow..!! and yet i cant keep my potted bamboo alive :| (not-green-fingers)dee-dubs

for the record, while bamboo CAN grow that much in a single day under ideal conditions, the average speed of growth of giant kelp is faster than bamboo-- about a foot (30 cm) a day on average!
- Not that fast if you unleash some pandas in a bamboo “wood”grafician
