Rarely as bad as this in 1 shot. I guess it was a mile wide storm, the finger of god, and like 100 smaller ones. Rarely ever happens even close to this scale.

rode thru it all night long. lots around the city without power. trees down everywhere. almost everyone i know has hail damage, windows gone, roof damage, powers out all around. pretty scary stuff - i've been thru monsoons in india, hurricanes in the gulf, tropical storms and earthquakes in the south pacific, sandstorms in africa... but never seen anything as creepy as this one last night.

Living in SW MO we get it every year, although our town just seems to disseminate anything particularly nasty as it rolls in from OK.
Luckily we have a huge basement and safe area, so when the sky turns that funny gray/green color and it gets real still, and the silence it broken by the wail of the siren, we're hot-footing it downstairs with kid and dogs with local tv and the radio on.
I fucking love the sirens though - there's one about 100 yards from our backdoor, it's immensely loud as it spins round and points at us. You can also hear the one in the other neighborhood, slightly different pitch, they sound like the end of the world. I release nearly a pint of adrenaline everytime they start them up. The closest we've had is an F0 about 30 yards outside our backyard which struck a little wooden building and smashed the 4x2's into pieces about 6" long and scoured out the ground.
I really feel for people that get their whole house wiped out down to the concrete foundations - you always think it's going to miss you.- Dog-earApr 28, 11, 6:55 a.m. – Permalink

My family is from Huntsville Alabama. They have no power, water, etc. The storm knocked down a high tension power line to north Alabama, so it will take 4 days to get it restored. The authorities have instated a lock down from sun down to sun up. Everyone is trying to get out of town, if they have enough fuel in their tanks to do so, otherwise they are screwed.
