These photos compare with those from Katrina and the Tsunami in the amount of total complete destruction they produce.

A similar sized F5 Tornado hit Oklahoma City a few years back....a truck shop was in the path and upon its passage when folks started popping up like gophers....it was noticed three of our "beam" trailers were missing.

A beam trailer is about fifty feet long, four feet wide except for the three axles and weighs about 30,000 pounds and is used to transport large heavy over sized loads like bulldozers and the like.

Considering the compact shape and heavy weight....one would never think the trailers could be picked up and thrown so far away that they have never been found.
