I've seen this type of destruction before. I was a kid living in Topeka when an F5 in tornado hit the city on June 8th 1966. An 8 mile path of destruction that was about 1/2 mile wide as it cut through town.
Only lost 16 lives. 14 during the storm and 2 from heart attacks before and after. Bill Curtis, who would go on to some fame at CBS later in his career, uttered the famous words:"For God's sake take cover" over the air at WIBW.
The most vivid memory was picking up law school documents that blew into my yard from Washburn University about 10 miles away.
