the full picthis tornado is crazy
Correction: Midwest Tornadoes story
In a story published December 11, 2021, about deadly tornadoes hitting several states, The Associated Press erroneously reported the name of a researcher on extreme weather at Northern Illinois University. He is Victor Gensini, not Victor Genzini.news.yahoo.com

Giant aluminum shed in tornado country. Brilliant.
They are going to find employees miles away.

Amazon buildings have tornado-rated areas (usually break rooms), but given that that appears to be a Delivery Station with inside parking for their delivery vans, those areas are likely not built to withstand tornado forces of that magnitude, much less having semis or delivery vans flying into them.

They aren’t aluminum, they’re 30 foot tall concrete slabs. Prefabbed and stood up and welded together. If the roof structure goes there’s nothing holding them up except each other. See how the wall with the blue line is still there in the front, it’s just laying flat on the ground? That aluminum peeled up thing you’re seeing at the back is the roof.

surveying the culdesac my hood has 3 trees where the trunk is separated
i got off with just a wheelbarrow of branches that i just finished burning (have fire pit, burns fast)
one neighbor 2 houses down has a tree trunk separated, i don't know him well so i'm not gonna bother lending my polesaw out.
besides its in the backyard and it's electric so i'd have to also lend out my 100ft of cord (this is the only corded appliance i got left)

There's no way they've confirmed a continuous, unbroken damage track yet amidst all the chaos but it would be the longest distance tornado in recorded history if it went longer than 219 miles, which was the previous record.
Probably won't even make the top 20 of deadliest, and I doubt it exceeds either Joplin or Moore for most damage done.
*edit*
top 20 deadliest in the world. In America it's probably top 5ish. Bangladesh tornadoes are playing on ezmode.

I know I said I wouldn't post past 11/21 but wanted people to know A- I am ok, although 2 blocks from me is just GONE.
B- Everyone is talking about the earlier Mayfield but at 1:20am Bowling Green took a direct hit as well from at least a EF3. Over 500 homes 100 businesses leveled. Fatalities. I was out digging in rubble in storms with massive wind and pouring ran for hours within walking distance of my home to places that don't even exist on a map now. Hope you all stay safe and have a Merry Christmas.
