There was some very frightening footage of semi trucks being picked up and whirled around like paper high in the sky. It later was discovered that those semis were from a parking/storage area and were not occupied. And while quite a few homes were completely destroyed and businesses, churches, etc. badly damaged, again, there are no reports of serious injuries at this point. We got very, very lucky.

The tornados around did lots of damage, but amazingly, it appears that everyone is physically okay. They are saying there were 12 in the area.
