Link is to the NWS latest public statement about the tornado in Oklahoma. It's now an EF5 rated tornado. It's nothing short of a miracle that more people weren't killed. Public Information Statements for the Tornado Outbreak of May 20, 2013
So sad that thin skinned namby pambies infect a place and other placate to their wishes at the expense of others who have done no wrong.

I've seen a couple small ones, glad I've never been near a large tornado.
It's hard to even imagine any natural disaster that will just level your house completely, even if you are lucky enough to not have any injuries or loss of life among family. Bad stuff.

I remember 3 funnels touching down a couple of miles away from Croft at a BTCC meeting once. I think per square mile, the UK has more twisters than any other country but thankfully minor ones.

OMG Mark, that is terrible.
I'm no storm expert but even I know tht power, gas and water lines get broken buring a major Twister hit. Any shelter should be protected against this eventuality.
How very sad.
