A tornado suspected to be 2 miles wide absolutely destroyed the town of Moore. Watching the video of the damage is just shocking. Two schools were destroyed while school was in session.

This is really sad.

From what I remember there was a tornado warning in effect 20 minutes before it hit, so hopefully they all got out alright.

In any case, I'm waiting for the people that will inevitably blame it on the government, as sad as it is.

Crazy, I just saw footage, it looks like some giant god just dragged his finger across town.

Luckily where I live we've only ever had funnel clouds or a couple very minor tornadoes that just touched down and dissipated quickly without doing any damage. I can't imagine what it'd be like to live through one.
