mean. we can see people standing in the middle of the road just looking at what we assume were their homes. and you say there wasn t any warning. what do you mean? how quickly did this come up on them? well, the problem was just the storm in general. the weather service does a great job of tornado warnings but the problem was this time the storm developed very rapidly and from the really five minutes before it tornadoed i would not have actually believed if you told me it was going to tornado. the storm produced a wall cloud very quickly, and that wall cloud tightened up very rapidly. and then it just it went to the ground very, very quickly. so there wasn t a lot of times with a strong tornado there s a lot of leeway, a lot of time for people to prepare. but this time just because of how quick the tornado developed i m not sure that there was a tremendous length of time for people to prepare. we re looking at the fire you were talking about right now in someone s home. brian
