That is incredible, they sure will have some memory about that. I cannot imagine how hard it is to pick up the pieces, deceased loved ones, destruction of property, but hope those affected can rise up and out of this catastrophic event.
We've had tornados before, and I've seen the destruction, but its not to the scale of what has occurred recently and or within the last year in those hard hit areas near you.
I recall one in the 80's west of here crossing I-88, had deliveries out that way, a clear path could be seen, most nearby barns flattened or roof torn off.
We had one 10 miles north of here on May 31 1998, that particular storm ranks amongst my top ten as probably #1, it came through twice, got all nice out again, went over to the reservoir, good time to fish after a nice rain, that sucker came back around and we had a heck of time getting back here, 2 miles away. It touched down to the north, eradicated several homes, nothing left, one was a goalie on my hockey team, his family was left with nothing, we pooled together to get some hockey equipment, so we could play ! It crossed a river and headed to open farm and ag land, did some amazing things, moving outbuildings and such, then it fizzled out. Its not a common occurrence, but I will tell you when that prevailing southern tropical air and or wind meets up with a cold front, wow, that hot steamy wind was blowing all day until it let loose, I've never forgot the conditions that day, was a rare occurrence.
See the link below, $71 million in damage, F3 200 MPH winds, I've never seen trees of the size near my home bend over so far, my favorite black cherry was wanting to touch the ground, she held and still here today.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
