Title: Surprised there's no thread about this: Alabama Tornadoes

Fucking surreal, a lot of them were almost a mile wide. There's at least a thousand dead, IMO. Just horrific.

This especially worries me because my sister was taking a school field trip to Tennessee via bus and they were in Alabama yesterday, wish me luck.

Only 290 people.

290 people are dead right now because of this tornado.

Only 290 people.

You're horrible.

Well, that's better of my estimate of 1000.

Plus, there were hundreds of tornadoes a freaking mile wide.
They've only identified 290 people as dead, which is, while tragic, not as bad as it could've been.

Go look at something a mile long.

Imagine a whirlwind of destructive wind 300mph as big as that.

Now imagine a hundred of them.

Does 1000 dead seem entirely possible?
