Unbelievable…

When I look at these photos…I am immediately reminded of the town of Woodward, Oklahoma that was wiped off the map in 1947.

If this is not an EF5 tornado, I will be very surprised…

Please scan down for lots of other posts that I think you will find interesting…especially the one immediately following this one with the link to Dodge City NWS Meteorologist Mike Umscheid. I predict he will get a medal.

    I agree it was likely an F5. Here is a video of another tornado from yesterday. They almost got taken out by a powerful tornado yesterday. Here is the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNL7ASvl4k4

    First thing that came to mind was photos of GUIN ALABAMA, 1974 after seeing the photos

    INCREDIABLE ! So sad & heart-breaking . This was one of those that you more than likely needed to be underground to survive . 100% F5 , no doubt .
