Twister hits Train

[Geffers]

Amazing 3 and half minute video from US.

Twister passes over train, causes damage but seems loco survived, unsure of damage to rest of train, maybe it was freight, not sure but it was stationary.

Amazing that all this destructive power is achieved simply with air, water and temperature differences. That was a small one, too. A big one would have blown that loco away like it was a feather.

Glad they were safe....they sure were cool and calm under that type of tornado mayhem.

Sheeeesh! They got away with one there!

They certainly did, guess a powerful one might be able to lift a loco.

Easily. Those things can rip apart houses - and it's just air at normal air pressure!

Odd that they can lift vehicles and destroy buildings but I don't think they leave a trench along their path. Maybe I am wrong but I've not heard that mentioned.

That's right, there's no energy channelled into the ground.
