That poor town. Twenty of the dead so far are kids trapped in an elementary school. Good lord almighty.

What a terrible shame.

Having grown up in the Chicago area, where we'd had a few really bad ones, I've tried to imagine what a mile-wide tornado would look like. It's hard for me to envision such a thing.

On one of the sites I read, a man said it looked like a war zone. I've heard this before, wondering if he has actually seen a war zone. I wonder if soldiers overlooking a war zone comment that it looks like a tornado had gone through.

I recall seeng pictures of the aftermath of the tornado that devastated Joplin Missouri a while back. It showed part of the city, where houses and buildings stood were now completely flattened. Everything gone. Not a single thing over four inches high for blocks.

Dave.

He may not mean that it literally looks like a war zone. A war zone would have shells and bodies, etc. I think he means the amount of devastation.

So sad.

The March 18, 1925 "Tri State Tornado" killed 695... but that was before they had warning systems.

We live in NE Texas and few if any have basements or shelters. We were stunned when we were house shopping. Could get one installed in the yard , but I suspect it'd cost $6-10K !!

This kinda' puts it in some perspective

...but still... frown

When I lived in Bonham, on the outskirts of Dallas,
I stumbled across the set of "Cellar-Doors" out in
the middle of the back yard of the place I was
staying in and wondered "WTHeck is this, and why
is it in the middle of the yard?!?"

When I was told, it became one of the many reasons
for returning to "The Greater New York Area". grin
