Update on May 19-20 tornado outbreak in Oklahoma: EF-5 rating in Moore, OK

May 19 and 20 saw several very violent tornadoes sweep actoss central Oklahoma. The scope of the magnitude of destruction here is still being processed; personally, the Moore tornado is perhaps the most violent I have ever experienced either in person of through all of the video I have watched over my lifetime... It was just incredibly, almost unfathomably violent; horrific is the best word I could think of to describe what happened yesterday. For more information on this event, please visit the NWS Norman website at http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/?n=events-20130520. Also, please consider a donation to the American Red Cross, or a local charity dedicated to helping the victims of these recent events.
