When one looks at the debris of an EF5 tornado, even the debris on edges of major damage, one thing becomes obvious: flying debris is a dangerous thing. The same was made clear after the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. It has been said that the fertilizer explosion in the street at the rear of the building was the cause for flying debris that claimed most of the lives. Granted, the debris wouldn't be debris if not for the explosive nature of a bomb or a tornado. Nor would it be flying. But the debris is the thing that directly plays havoc with the human body, scarring and cutting as if it had consciousness. Take shelter, friends. Do not play with the storms that come with the springtime transition from cold to hot weather.
