Today is the anniversary of the EF-5 tornado that hit Parkersburg north of here back in 2008. This is a 10 year anniversary. I was there the next day. Unbelievable. The neighbor lived through the center of it with a dozen other people sheltering in a walk in cooler in a bar. The building was destroyed but they all survived with very minor injuries.
Interesting this bit, the last EF5 rated tornado was the Moore Ok f5 in 2012, also the only town to ever be hit by TWO F5s in history. There’s not been a single EF5 rated since then, the longest drought of EF5 rated tornadoes since the rating started
