you don't need a tornado to desecrate a town, apparently

and even worse, a lot of people lost their homes in one of them.

one house caved in on the people inside, a tree fell on somebodies car while they were in it, some people got hurt

there were live powerlines down everywhere, multiple gas leaks from the destruction of homes, trees down everywhere blocking roads so it was hard for the EMS and fire departments to get around and help, a lot of peoples homes had structural damage. an uprooted tree shattered the asphalt of the entire span of the road when the roots came up from underneath it.

And there was never a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning to come with it. people were certainly...surprised.

update:

some photos of the damage are starting to roll in on local news stations, so i thought id share them.
