Their high school was hit head-on by a tornado this afternoon. The roof collapsed just as they were getting ready to send them home early because of bad weather.
Witnesses say the tornado was 1/2 mile wide, making it a likely F4-F5.
Responders say it looks like it was hit by a bomb. Still too early to calculate casualties. Looks like more supercells nearing the area.
A 7 year old girl was killed by one in Missouri.
In total several hit in 6 southern states.
No, this isn't unusual. The 1-day record for tornado's in North America is 148 (confirmed; more seen) ranging from Texas to Ontario, Canada on April 3-4, 1974 including 7 F5's; >330 died. I remember seeing 3 that day within a very short period of time.
