Look for the tornado at 00:21 during the power flash. You can tell it's a wedge.

@Tornado1994 That tornado in Enterprise, Alabama was actually rated an EF4. The 8 students in that high school that were killed were doing the standard procedure -getting in the hallway - and they still were killed. Also in the south - as opposed to the plains - the topography is hilly and there are many trees, making it harder to spot them and they are usually rain-wrapped, as well, making them at least partially invisible.

@ILovestorms I see, ther Ozarks or deep south. Like Fort Smith,AK(in '96 an F4 killed several people and Alabama( 2007's Enterprise EF 3 twister that killed 8 people and leveled a high school.)

@Tornado1994 Actually, the largest percentage of tornadoes that cause fatalities, are not the ones that occurr in the traditional "Tornado Alley", meaning Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. I was at the Southeast Severe Storms Symposium last month at Mississippi State University in Starkville. Northeast Mississippi has the largest number to near Memphis. There is a higher density of trailor parks and tornadoes that occur in the middle of the night when people are sleeping.

@856956sinewavetones I agree.
