Tornado season has been relatively quiet this year. Within in the last week, tornado outbreaks have been erupting from North Texas to Minnesota.An eastward advancing cold front is to blame. This pocket of cold air has run into warm air from the Gulf of Mexico. This rising warm air has created thunderstorms that have in turn spawned tornadoes, which draw their rotation from the system's abundant wind shear, which is a change in wind speed and direction with altitude. In the next few days, this system should soon weaken. Many people have lost their homes to the tornado destroying it into bits and pieces. Oklahoma natives are showing support for those who've lost homes and need help. In any situation such as this, it is good to know that there are supporters out there who will help for any cause.

This is crazy, I couldn't even begin to fathom what it was like to be hit by one of those and survive.
