reading futher in to the artical.
the tornado was an F5, 3/4 to 1 mile across on the ground.

for thouse of you that do not know what an F5 tornado is.
it is a twister with winds of 300 miles an hour or higher.

its just that theres a forum for "general" stuff, don't you think it would be more effective to post this in a section FOCUSED on that region of the country? And how many guys that were involved with this tornado are actually online checking pt.net today?

More then likely none seeing how their town does not exist any more.
but their are neighboring towns that may have fellow members
On line to let them know that help and support is not that far away.

sorry if this post offends you, and does not tell you how to make
Your truck more powerful or run faster.
As stated above, their is more to life then your trucks performance.
So the next time you want to post to something like this.
take your head out of your *** and don't show everybody just
How cold hearted you are.

Yeah, I'm just a few hours away and can take some time if help is needed.

BTW, the actual size was F5 1 1/4 mile wide.

Town is 90% leveled. Here's a link to some aerial pics...
