The plaza school and the picture where the 6 streets are completely wiped out are basically right next to each other.  
All the photos are viewing north to south, so you have to look at google maps upside down to find them. Like one building barely survived at that school, the main part of it is just gone.

Yeah, I’d probably be bear hugging my dog if I just found him after I lost everything. LOL Although not sure how everyone else is, I love my Golden and I know most Golden owners are all about their dogs.

Well I am assuming that is all she has. Probably a widow who lost her husband and has just her dog so you bet she would be devastated without it.

Somewhat related, this video was taken yesterday in Kansas.

> Wind speeds were 150 to 175 EF3 to EF4 before the tornado ripped the instruments off the top of the TIV.

Oklahoma was an EF5, ~200mph.

They were driving this to get inside the tornado:

If like me you were wondering how it was possible the vehicle didn’t just blow away…

And the part they don’t mention in the video is it has giant hydraulic ground anchor spikes.

Limit tornado’s to a certain speed or capacity. Cuomo is probably blaming high cap magazines!
