That's some horrible damage. I don't recall what lives were lost. But, I'm sure the loss to homes was just as bad if not worse.
 
Incredible footage. Did the jet and Piper end up in the field due to the tornado? Just asking because both are upright.
 
Thats some horrible damage. We've had storms in Florida that have put airplanes into balls of metal, not a pretty sight.

I saw an interesting item on Sportys called the Aerospoiler. You put it on the top of the wing and its supposed to spoil the smooth air flow over the top. I doubt it'd stop a thrashing from a tornado due to it being just pure force but I do wonder how effective it is on preventing planes from flipping.
