twister

If you've never seen a tornado tearing its way through your neighborhood, be thankful. A Missouri man captured video of a violent twister and then suddenly realized it was coming right at him.

I was always under the impression that prior to a tornado impacting an area there would be at least some kind of warning. That process apparently wasn't followed Monday as a tornado touched down near Branson, Missouri with no warning whatsoever based on many who witnessed it.

I've watched the movie "Twister" probably a million times, but just learned something new today about this classic movie. Did you know that the hail in one of the most famous scenes in the movie actually came from Burlington, Iowa.

It's amazing how much damage a relatively strong tornado can do in such a short amount of time. New video shows the recent tornado that went through Dexter, Missouri and the aftermath of its damage path.

The State of Iowa is famous for, among other things, presidential caucuses, agriculture, the Hawkeyes and the Cyclones, Captain James T. Kirk, and Herbert Hoover. Movies doesn't usually come to mind, but there have actually been a number of well known films shot in the Hawkeye State.
