Tornado damaged C5
I was just watching FOX news (Shepard Smith program) and they are live feeding from some tornados that just happened. It appears to be a 03 AE vert that got damaged as the house appeared to have blown away.
If this is one of our members' God speed, our prayers are we you people.
Storm chasers are able to give live feeds to FOX now. Amazing.

Might have been the joplin tornado footage cause my folks watch that same show and my dad said he saw what looked like a LS1 engine and what was left of a vette rear end sticking up out of the rubble during a interview in joplin.
Whether a vette owner or not my
prayers are out for everyone in joplin.
A bad storm is getting ready to go thru there and here in springfield tonight.
I've battend down what I can.

Looks like near Moore moving NE massive cells. Shepard Smith was streaming live from the storm chaser cars. There is an overhead shot from a chopper of a house in OK that was blown away, left in the driveway is a convertible C5 AE. I tried to snap a picture with my phone of the tv screen but they started zooming out too quickly. Looking to see if it is posted. Still happening now, tornados along that route.

This is a replay, it doesn't appear in this video. Just watched it.
Who ever it was they were standing away from the house, and the video was focused right on it. Really feel for these people. At least with hurricanes we have time to prepare.

I have been watching the coverage all afternoon and haven't seen that C5 until now. Washington Oklahoma is south of Norman. Lots of damage west of the metro in El Reno, Piedmont and Cashion. All of that is just a few miles west of where I live.

Prayers go out to all the people being affected by the storms - the amount of devastation is just terrible.
