This is mental, we've hardly seen any of this on the UK news.

Unbelievable!

Something I never understood is why people keep building weak wooden houses in those tornado areas.
That level of destruction caused by wind is really mind blowing.
- Check some other photo sets - plenty of brick and mortar places got wiped out.adumbratesly
- I'm not beeing an ass... just a thought. but brick and mortar are definitely more robust to wind.ESKEMA

Those photos are incredible and absolutely terrifying.
Amazing to see how cars and houses are tossed around so effortlessly.

surely it was more than that! I've been snowboarding in 150mph in Scotland at the end of last year! Anyway that is some seerious devastation, if there is a silver lining it's that it happened in a country where people will not die of starvation and disease as an aftermath

70mph up here in Scotland the other day.
I remember two New Years ago drinking with mates in flat, looking outside to the winter weather with 90mph winds that caused the city centre celebrations to be called-off and seeing guys and girls walking past with just shirts on. We Scots are hardcore!200mph though, that's mental!

They're in for some serious trouble; thousands of people have nothing to lose and have pulled bits of their family from the remains of their houses - including cops and firemen and other 'enforcers'. I wouldn't be surprised if they just set about these people with some of the millions of sharp stakes that are now what was once their neighborhood, then just burn the bodies in the middle of it all, cops turning a blind eye. People are absolutely incensed by it - this may be the end of the Westboro Baptists.
Not that I would condone any violence like this of course, just relaying the strength of feeling that I'm seeing on Facebook, etc.

I'm afraid the tornado has done more damage than can be imagined. There has been a bit of a media blackout but I've heard around 1500 people are missing, this very well could be a major catastrophe.
- They have Tornados annually, this time it was worse. But I've heard on the news that their reporting less than the 1500 number already.Iggyboo
- It's ok, that figure has been abandoned now, it was caused by a lot of double-counting and people not letting their friends...mikotondria3
- and relatives know they'd gone out of town to stay with people. They think the total of 125 dead isn't going to increase much.mikotondria3

here is a video of it during it happening, there is little to no visual but the audio is crazy!!!!!
.. from a family huddled in a store.. the tornado hits around 1:20 but things dont happen til 2:09 then at 2:16 their windows are shattered and they leave to a walk in storage fridge and things seem to calm down until 3:06 and everything becomes crazy hell!!! at 4:06 people are covered by other people... not sure if people are under each other buried under debris.. so insane!!
here is an aftermath video taken by same person during the day..
