That is awful to see.

I did notice though that the brick buildings seemed to still be standing, I suppose that's small consolation for a town totally destroyed,

Very Sombre,

How far from you is this?

This storm was 320 miles south of me. The sad part is this tornado was on the ground for 200+ miles. That destruction was along the entire path.

Glad you were safe Terry but still devastating for many families especially those that lost family and loved ones

200+ miles is just mind blowing.

To put that into perspective the distance from Britain's most southerly point (Lizard point) to our most northerly point ( Dunnett Head) is 600 miles, that would be 1/3rd of Britain, that is staggering :sadmo::eeeeek::eeeeek:
