It's raining like crazy here. Really windy too. Haven't been swept to munchkin land yet.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Looks like mostly EF1-2 damage, maybe some EF3 if you consider walls being torn partially off. I was following this cell on radar, good thing it wasn't as bad as it could've been. (Widespread damage but I doubt many lives were lost.)

Not that I am pleased at how off-topic this has gotten, the Ky argument holds the most water seeing as how The Simpsons writers have been very good at dropping hints, but, not revealing the actual location. There is a Shelbyville and Springfield in Ky.

Also, earlier yesterday, the tornado that hit Binger/Guthrie, OK was upgraded to an EF-5 status, making it the FIFTH EF-5 that has hit America in the last 2 months. On average, there is only one F5/EF-5 tornado every 1.15 years, so this is getting downright ridiculous.

1. Smithville, MS (April 27, 2011)
2. Hackleburg / Phil Campbell, AL (April 27, 2011)
3. Philadelphia, MS (April 27, 2011)
4. Joplin, MO (May 22, 2011)
5. Binger / Guthrie, OK (May 24, 2011)

Before this, the only other EF-5's on record were the Greensburg, KS tornado of May 4 2007, and the Parkersburg, IA tornado of May 25 2008. Crazy stuff.
