Thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this disaster. This was apparently the worst death toll from a single tornado since one in 1953 in MA, and that’s despite all the warnings and advance notice to get to safety.

Time has posted one of the more harrowing videos - most of it is actually dark because the power is out, but you hear the cries of those sheltering in a convenience store and the rising din of the storm approaching, and every now and then the store is lit up by lightning.
