That said Gary lezak on 810 whb said this morning and brings it into perspective "90% of people in Oklahoma have never seen a tornado." This kinda put it in perspective of chances you will get struck.

Thanks. I consider ourselves fairly lucky. Very thankful. And glad no one neighborhood was hurt.

Priest31 and Rausch, were your tornadoes on the same track? I have some family south and west of Russellville we haven't been able to reach.

EF2s can take roofs off, down trees, and completely collapse/destroy metal buildings, sheds, outbuildings, etc.; 3s can wipe away whole upper stories of well-built buildings--didn't really see too much of that, though, with the homes that were more than a single story in the aerial shots. There were roofs gone and second story walls collapsed in places, but nothing that looked completely wiped away. Most of the "catastrophic" damage looked to be to metal buildings, garage type structures, etc. So it wouldn't surprise me if they decide to go EF3 in parts of the damage; but nothing I've seen looks greater than that. |

Heard about the Jeff City tornado this morning when I got to work and heard about the tornado just north of Columbia last night. Scary stuff. Hope all are safe. I'll be travelling down to Columbia this weekend for my sisters graduation.
Reminds me of that movie that came out on tv like in 1998-99 or something: Night of the Twisters I think it was called...

Long video of an aerial view of the damage in Jeff City.
Never good to wake up to the sound of your hometown being mentioned on the national news. |

I drove through russellville on the way to my parents house earlier this morning, tornado missed it. It went through the eugene, brazito area, if that's where they are at. (I'm in that area) damage was all east of AA

Thankfully no deaths. Lucky it went through the commercial area of Jeff City and at night.

It's actually very common for storm chasers - when they run out of those little silver balls - to use small children to gauge the wind speed of tornadoes. They're not as heavy as adults, so you can just buckle the gauges on them and have them run right into the funnel cloud.
They also spelled assess wrong. |
