SluggerWx Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Interview on WRAL caller said her neighbor was injured because their house was hit by...another house. They aren't mentioning the welfare of those living in the literal HOUSE that flew into another injuring some. She said they got hit by a house. This is insane.

Judging by the damage from Dunn, I wouldn't be surprised if its rated an EF4 tornado. Devastation throughout the area. This is one of the most impressive outbreak sequences I can remember.

I'd say today was a lot worse damage and death wise than the last two days combined. Lots of populated areas hit today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
