    That’s probably EF4 damage, depending on the construction of the house.

    Not sure I would be able to keep it together. They would just dump all my audio because every other word would have some variant of fuck and shit.

    I was hoping I was wrong about the environment being rich on the other side of KC. Danced this dance too many times in the past.

    God damn. This stuff doesn’t come remotely close to happening where I live. Be safe, friends who are in the middle of this madness. Can’t even begin to fathom how scary this is.

    Security came through the loudspeaker around 7:15 telling us to head to the secure area of our floor. Hung out with the custodians and pulled up a stream of the weather on my laptop. Sucks it had to land somewhere but glad it didn’t hit downtown

    When's the last time something was that close to a major US downtown? The ones in Birmingham were on the other side of the mountain, St. Louis back in 2010 or so was up by the airport, etc. I just couldn't remember a time when you could see it from a high rise. Crazy.

    I couldn’t even imagine the death/injury toll if that thing stayed together as it crossed through the city.

    If it had rolled through some of KCK east of Bonner, those are a lot of old slab houses. Could have been really really bad.

    Many years ago a small tornado went right down Dodge Street in Omaha. A local tv camera crew followed it and got some decent footage.

    If you ignore Timmer’s screaming, you’ll see a couple vehicles driving into the center of a wedge tornado as it crosses the highway :facepalm:

    It was no monster or anything, but it did kill someone and it hit downtown Salt Lake City (of all places) in 1999...and it pretty clearly happened before HDTV. Not sure it was the last one though.

    There was an EF2 in Brooklyn in like 2007 and this one in Miami in 1997

    Outside of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham and some surrounding areas of Memphis, STL, and Chicago you just don’t see (thankfully) many tornados hit the large metro cities.

    An F3 (before the EF scale came out) went right through downtown Fort Worth in March of 2000 & tore a bunch of shit up.

    An F5 went through most of downtown Lubbock in May 1970 and flattened a few neighborhoods, twisted a building that’s still there today, bent the light poles at Jones Stadium in half like they were cheap silverware, etc. - it was bad (and at night too). Dr. Fujita came up with his tornado rating scale based on a lot of the stuff he saw doing damage surveys after the Lubbock tornado.

    She got the all clear from the wife because she clearly wasn't a threat. Take from that what you will
