Amazing that no one died. Biggest issue they have this morning is the leaking propane tank at U-Haul. One complex is probably a write off along with Ashley Furniture. Dicks is heavily damaged, Barnes & Noble has moderate damage.

It was an EF2 Tornado, winds up to 130MPH.

Here's a day-after walking tour of Arena Hub Plaza, which was the epicenter of the retail destruction. This link should work whether or not you have a Facebook account. As an aside, parts of the Dick's Sporting Goods building have been found as far as ten miles away.
