This is drone footage of Mayfield Kentucky. Just one of many towns damaged in the path of this monster. The tornado that destroyed this town was 2 miles wide.

That is awful to see.

I did notice though that the brick buildings seemed to still be standing, I suppose that's small consolation for a town totally destroyed,

Very Sombre,

How far from you is this?

 

[Penpal]

Devastating,humiliation.

 

[Bill Mooney]

That was a monster in every sense of the word Terry, so sad to see on the news.

An absolute killer.We get freak weather in the UK but not on that scale.Unfortunately these storms etc are becoming more regular,we all know why now.

This storm was 320 miles south of me. The sad part is this tornado was on the ground for 200+ miles. That destruction was along the entire path.

Glad you were safe Terry but still devastating for many families especially those that lost family and loved ones

200+ miles is just mind blowing.

To put that into perspective the distance from Britain's most southerly point (Lizard point) to our most northerly point ( Dunnett Head) is 600 miles, that would be 1/3rd of Britain, that is staggering :sadmo:

That is terrible, I feel sorry for all those people.:pray:
Is there any reason why they don't build brick buildings?

is 600 miles, that would be 1/3rd of Britain, that is staggering :sadmo:

600 miles is only a trip to Darwin.
