I've been watching it.  Amazing live coverage, including chopper footage of one tornado.  Now they're flying around surveying the damage.  They showed one house completely wiped off the foundation, and then a whole family emerged from the storm shelter while they were overhead.

Oops, the feed just cut off.

I had to refresh the page to get the feed restarted, and this thing is still going on.  There are reports of a multiple-vortex tornado now.

It's going to be a long night. They say that this system will be active for several more hours.

Seeing that on the radar--winds up to 75-80 miles/hour with the storm sweeping through Tulsa area

Oh, great.  I'm now watching your link, Charles, and they just said there's a tornado warning in Joplin.
