Terrifying cellphone video from inside a home being demolished by a tornado. This video is TREMENDOUSLY scary but worthwhile, but hopefully in terms of finding empathy, and not just a "disaster porn" kind of way.

I guess that kind of thing is not uncommon, but I hope it doesn't end up being rehearsal for responding to some future event!
