They are scary the EF5 that touchdown in Joplin near my place was like three quarters of a mile wide with 200 mile an hour winds it was moving at 25 miles an hour or so they consider it a grinder and you could literally look all the way across town for miles through the middle section of town. It was just like somebody had put everything in a blender. It took a big hospital that I think was like nine stories or something and moved it 5 in off its foundation.
One of the others was less than a mile from my house and it tore a huge path and the hail from it literally drove softball-size hail through the tin of my barn and it wasn't the cheap tin. I was just really blessed I wasn't any closer there wasn't anything left to worry about. That one was even scarier than most because it was very quick to form and to join together and it was what they consider rain and hail shrouded so you couldn't see it till was on you you just heard it almost at the last minute.

You have had a time of it down that way the past few years. I'm just outside of KC and we have been lucky for quite a while. When I bought my house two criteria's were a solid basement and windows where I could see west.

I'm glad you're okay. I am so scared of tornadoes... I guess other people are like that with hurricanes though...
