New drone footage of Runaway Bay, Texas, shows the trail of destruction left behind by what the National Weather Service has deemed an EF2 tornado. At least two deaths were reported in North Texas, and dozens of families have lost their homes. The tornado, which brought maximum winds of 130 mph, stayed on the ground for four minutes, covering nearly a mile and a half.
One of the two super outbreaks of tornadoes in modern U.S. history happened 15 years ago. Here is what we found truly incredible about this event, along with some personal recollections.
