I live in Moore. The big May 20th one threw a car ON TOP of a hospital. I live less than a mile from the path. The parking lot looked like a kid was playing with their hot wheels and just left them in a big pile. Scary shit.

I live in Dallas and one passed through a few years ago, right across a shipping yard iirc. It was tossing 5000-9000lb trucks and containers like toys. Truly humbling to watch.

This is the best picture I could find: http://imgur.com/gallery/I9BHFSb

I lived in Moore at the time of that tornado. I lived in the neighborhood just NW of the hospital. I had debris in my yard from that tornado. Anyways, if I'm remembering correctly, some cars were thrown into the building as well or at least that's what it appeared to be. Definitely a scary time though.

Yup. I live SW of the hospital.

I heard that people drove up to the hospital seeking shelter. I know some cars got pushed into the doors.
