Default Casualties, massive damage as multiple tornadoes rip through US
A powerful tornado storm system has ripped through several US states, killing one person in Oklahoma and at least 16 others in central Arkansas while causing major damage in the Great Plains, Midwest and Southern states.

A tornado killed one person in Quapaw, a small residence in Oklahoma, on the border of Kansas and Missouri, authorities announced, saying the storm struck the town around 5:30pm local time.

It's awful the damage they are responsible for and the casualties/loss of lives but I also find them fascinating.

Yeah, Tornados are amazing to see but yet also devestating.

I live in a area where tornadoes aren't uncommon. But we haven't had a tornado near my town in forever though.

I was up until 12:30am my time watching coverage of the storms. Tupelo, MS was one of the places hit. More storms with the possibility of producing tornadoes today and tomorrow.
