check out the tornado that went thought Daytona. my brother goes to flight school there or should i say went? (Embry Riddle) and it just killed the planes and campus. the planes look like they were thrown in a blender. 50 out of 65 planes are lost. one hangar was lost as well.

What a shame!  This is awful, and I'm sure we'll hear a lot about this in the near future.  :oops:

According to Fox News, NWS has confirmed an F2 tornado touched down in the Daytona Beach area, winds were in excess of 120 MPH.  ¡yikes!
