| #10 Certainly not tornado rated. If that is debris in the video and not water droplets doing funny things on the window, this thing was throwing around some big items. Think of the videos where somebody drives into a store or someone's house. Those cars are not moving very fast to go through that wall or window. Along with wind and pressure changes, it can get pretty nasty down there. Collection of Greensburg Tornado Pictures has a pic of (claimed) aluminum screen door molding impaled into a tree. The way that metal is twisted would indicate a nasty one, at least at the point of contact. I know basements are not much of an option in that area, so let's call it why we find a significant structure and get as far away from windows as possible. |

| #9 One of those videos from New Orleans of the tornado had a Trojan in the TV station's video page. WTF? Luck for me it doesn't work in Linux. Idiots. I didn't post that page here. |

| #6 @#2, it is tempting to think, "Well instead of hoping everyone is ok, get out and help." There are so many ways a for a Good Samaritan to end up on the patient list, especially initially concerning electricity. Everyone loves the story about the mom who turns into The Hulk and lifts the car off of the child, but there is broken glass, nails, sheared metal. It really is an equipment oriented exercise, beginning with really good boots and thick gloves. I can't say don't; I'm the dumbass going around helping as soon as I check on the family. There is plenty to without getting too deep - clearing roads (watch for power lines, and they are always live even if they are not), checking damaged vehicles, structures for occupants, water and food to rescuers, even just helping calm people cuz it fn sux. |

| #4 Is that debris up high at about 0:30 @#3? If so, this is no joke. |
