Tornadoes in the west or midwest are nothing new, but when they reach the magnitude as seen last year, and also this year in the midwest, I wonder if this is part of last year's weather system that has stubbornly stuck around. The above post sheds some light on it. Last year's as well as this year's tornadoes seem particularly vicious and deadly.

In this video, taken in Dallas today, you will see a long distance shot of a devastating tornado, and what looks like normal (if you can call it that) debris. What they actually are, are truck trailers, most likely 53 footers, flying through the air as if they were pieces of cardboard. One is shown at a Schneider terminal sitting on top of a car. I had to replay it a couple of times to process what I was actually seeing, and hoping there were no tractors attached to them, which would mean most likely a human being was inside. I didn't notice any tractors.
