Footballjoe Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 http://www.wtkr.com/Global/story.asp?S=8239524 Driver Demolished pics for twiley:http://www.wavy.com/Global/story.asp?S=8239672 This is the little town that is about 3 miles away. My wife heard that the local store / hangout for the old folks was demolished. Also the antique shop she goes to. One report said that there is so much debris in the road that rescue workers are having a hard time getting in to help. Them storms went all around my house. Last I heard is that there is one dead and 200 injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No deaths offically reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keggerz Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 they are saying that the major tornado was between an F3 to F4 (unofficially) one of the new stations has a video of the twister and it looks like the one of those super wide ones they show on the weather channel or even like the ones they showed in the movie twister.
