A door at the silo that weighs 660 tons (1.2 million pounds) moved 2 inches! Sadly, the retired missile silo converted into a campground is the site of the only death casaulty that day.

My sister also lives in Windsor and -- thank god -- was on the southwest side of town. Has some house damage but nothing like the other side. I want to tell you that you don't have to just be afraid of not getting weather alerts. You have several options: 1 - Get a NOAA Weather Radio that has a visual alert, like a blinking red light. I know these are made by Oregon Scientific and Midland Radio, and both are available at significant discounts on eBay. You won't be able to hear it, but you'll be able to see that something's up and go visit your local National Weather Service website or Intellicast.com's StormWatch or a similar site. 2 - You can subscribe to The Weather Channel's NOTIFY service, which will call your phone and have it translated by your TTY equipment. 3 - Depending where you're located, your local emergency management may have implemented a special notification system for deaf people. Check with your local government. Good luck and stay safe. Hi, Fookem -

What a monster tornado! Never ever saw it in my life, I always like to study hurricanes and torandoes on how it was created and over the years I've watched many videos of torandoes. This one you showed me is CHAMP! Is that one confirmed F-5? From all the videos you showed homes damaged, it looks to me like an F-5. Let me know if I am correct. Dang! Thank you for sharing with us.

They are searching for personal items and clean up what is left of their homes. Utility workers have been busy tracking leaks and damaged power lines. Colorado National Guard members patrol the devastated areas. I don’t think the residents can stay there because of gas odor, damaged power lines, unsafe buildings, etc. A.J. - I was driving or standing in the wind, that’s why my camera was shaken.

May I ask you a question? Why did the video itself shake little bit? Is it from strong wind or you being aniexty when you were on the site? Good videos, though. What about buddy system?
