michael Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 azV5bC2br-Q More info on what happened on the Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azV5bC2br-Q I'd copy and paste it all here but it's all in capitals and I can't be bothered to change it. The relevant bit is this though: The tornado then moved across the Chicago and northwestern railroad where it blew 12 railroad freight cars off the track. The train was moving at the time the tornado hit it...so as the main engine stopped...the remaining cars on the track continued along it and slammed into the front part of the train. This caused a few more cars to derail...including one containing hazardous materials that caused the evacuation of the town of Lawrence. The damage in Lawrence was rated as EF2 with winds up to 110 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Genuinely dramatic stuff. I imagine the driver needed a change of underwear after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
