Wow, the video showing going along the river is impressive, hitting a clear medium like water you can really see how strong the wind currents are!

That is indeed a remarkable video.  It's a small tornado, but seen from extremely close range.

I can't link it directly, but scroll down to "Tornado Moves Through Springfield".  It's worth watching full screen, even though it's not high resolution.

We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

They only average one every 4 years I think I heard so it makes sense they are not of the monster variety, but last I heard 4 people killed and lots of roofs tore up and all, so they still pack a punch even at the lower end of the scale.  It's pretty impressive how the air rushes in and just grabs whatever is there and starts shredding it.
