I live in the same area, and I can confirm that this isn't the usual tornado activity. This storm broke records for coverage (223 miles straight affected) and for the density of the tornadoes.
This was far more bizarre than I've seen since even the year 2000.
Storms that get this bad usually only ever come from the north west.
This one came up from the south west in a perfectly straight front with a second lump behind it. There were so many funnel clouds forming left and right all in a row. I've heard some say they even danced and crossed each other's paths.
While it wasn't the most devastating storm, it was the most widespread. I've never seen one this big and fast. Usually, when the are big, they are fat and last last forever. This storm was thin and dense. It only lasted a couple hours and had practically NO rainfall.
On top of that, the pressure was scary. It felt like the walls of my house were bowing in -- like the whole thing was breathing. I've never felt like that before.
Also, the emergency weather alarm we have at our house didn't go off. It goes off for even the slightest of flooding. That it didn't is suspicious as hell to me.
If this was natural, God is fucking pissed and wanted us to know it.
Amen to God letting us know it. Everytime the weather gets bad I'm usually in the thick of the forefront where it is about to hit. About 15 years ago I was emptying the dishwasher and my husband was watching TV when all of a sudden the lights went out. Everything was PITCH BLACK. This was on a Sunday night. My husband worked days and I worked nights so when he left for work, he called home to tell me to leave early and take a detour to the Interstate. He said he just found out what the loss of our electric was about. It took out a huge Baptist Church (scattered in road) about 3 miles from us, took out the top floor of a 4 apartment complex that my newly wed niece and her husband was living in top floor. Her husband pushed her down the stairs to the bottom apartment where a neighbor lived. Bottom of complex was cinder block, top floor was wood and siding.
Large branch went through my nieces drivers side window and angled through the windshield. Then another duplex was taken off it's foundation. Another house that my kids wanted me to buy a few years before was totally destroyed. Nothing left but the foundation.
Anyway, the husband and I never knew anything. It didn't rain or anything else from where we are. However 2 days later, hail the size of golf balls fell and took out every window in my front of house. All I could think of was a friend at work said that the 2 nights earlier, her and her husband watched the tornado come across their back yard but the Hail got there first. So now I associate Hail with Tornadoes.
Sorry this is long. God bless and stay safe. I have a feeling the worse is yet to come before we get to the Best.
