    Obviously. There have been a number of storms in other regions that have done worse than that this year in terms of damage/lives etc. Could not name all of them. Joplin is just about as bad as I can remember hearing of/seeing...

    Any estimates on number of people left homeless? I wonder how many will never return... I am so sad about what has happened to Joplin, Tuscaloosa, Western Mass, etc etc etc. What a horrible year

    Is there anything we can do (is money needed, Red Cross, etc?) to help you folks?

    Today's additional additions to the toll have made 2011 the most deadly year since they started "official" record keeping in 1950. Obviously other years (1925) had more, but those were supposedly estimates... ... and it is only Memorial Day weekend. I hope we have seen the last fatality this year (doubtful)

    I'm wondering if the winds still sent the debris into the drain due to the cracked concrete. Doubt it was a deliberate hoax... The chair in the wall is very weird, too

    I am so sorry for the tragedy that your fine city has had happen. I wish all of you the best as lives and homes are rebuilt. So many sad tales.

    I still remember after Hurricane Gloria in 1986 went through my 'hood it smelled of cut wood... had not heard the cut grass anectdote before, but it makes sense. Based on the video with the trampoline, with all of the leaves/vegetation that was churned up that would really make sense.

    So glad you are safe JoMo. This SNE snow weenie is glad you are ok

    One of our prominent SNE posters lost phone/power last year after a big snowstorm and he was offline for like a week. We were a little worried about him and that was just snow.(and he is the biggest snow addict I know) After what JoMo has been through (assuming he is safe/uninjured) it would take some time to come back online here. Not everyone's biggest passion is posting on AmWx. Hopefully he is getting rest, eating good food, and drinking some cold beers somewhere.

    Great map. As Josh said, amazing that it was so violent and intense and had suck a (relatively) short track.

    Philadelphia, Mississippi was the other also on April 27 Possibly 2 today (obviously before NWS survey, just based on watching feeds and what some of the chasers/tv mets have said)

    This is the year of the EF5 1500 still missing? Probably just the chaos but that can't be good

    I'm worried many in our (well, more like your, but you know where my mom is) area have grown complacent since 1938. I go over the evac procedures each year with my family that live in that area. They know they can come up here, but will they??

    I know that the fire chief's house was destroyed, but do we know how bad emergency services were hit?
  16. HoarfrostHubb
    That debris that was picked up on radar was sick Debris up to almost 20K feet
  17. HoarfrostHubb
    Yeah, the HS is pretty much destroyed. Was just reading their facebook posts... Big mess for the school district. Good thing graduation was at the college/earlier in the day Remaining schools and the college being used as shelters, etc
  18. HoarfrostHubb
    I am always terrified of what happens when a big tornado hits a school while it is in session. The video from the helicopter clearly shows several schools destroyed, one of which looked like the high school or voc school.
  19. HoarfrostHubb
    Any reports if any of the deaths were at the hospital? The structure itself looked mostly intact, even if it was all blown out. The cars/helicopter, etc showed it was hit pretty bad. The two previous posts by wxmann and CapeFear made good points.
  20. HoarfrostHubb
    Maybe this was the biggest factor? I dunno... this will be examined in many ways over the next few months/years Nasty time
  21. HoarfrostHubb
    MSNBC has that number as well... What a terrible year this has been
  22. HoarfrostHubb
    I made a mistake on one of those posts... Worcester had 94 fatalities...
  23. HoarfrostHubb
    Another report I read had a quote from the governor saying that the storm was so loud that people could not likely hear the sirens.
  24. HoarfrostHubb
    Was this storm particularly fast moving? I have only so far seen one "on the ground" video from a chaser and it seemed to be tracking rather quickly. Would this contribute to more fatalities somehow? 90 fatalities so far, tying Worcester 1953... possibly many more to be found. Very sad

    X rays from St. John's hospital found 70 miles away as per CNN article
