    Look at that! Nothing left. Stuff can be replaced, you can't. Glad you are safe.
  • I love how the media is just running with "EF-3" for its headlines. EF-3 damage does not look like that. All walls collapsed, slabbed foundations, debarked trees etc. is not necessarily indicative of EF-5 damage, but it is most certainly EF-4. The NWS is just so conservative these days because they're retooling the scale. Dr. Fujita himself probably would've immediately classified this as F5 back in the day. Obv we know more now, but it's just frustrating.

    I saw this Tornado live while watching a livestream chase. My continued thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost loved ones and for those who lost their homes and businesses.
  • Living through this economy has completely crippled the middle class. God bless the people fund raising to help these familys. We have a chance of tornadoes this Sunday and i dont know what we will do if we lose everything. Pray for our country my fellow Americans. We can survive and thrive when we come together as one.

    FEMA better come through promptly for these folks!
  • Modern news all emotions and few facts. How many wind turbines were lost in this one tornado? How many businesses? How many homes? How many wind turbines have been lost to weather this year?

    So many people in the Southern ad Midwest states telling encounters in the harrowing midst of the tornado directly at their houses and their stupid dogs run upstairs into the storm and put their owners lives at risk! So frustrating to hear these stories of stupid dogs.
