I'm a 23yr old man and for me this video is kinda tough to listen to. Hearing those kids screaming for their lives is just tough.

The tornado, from listening to the video, sounds as if it lasted about 25 seconds. This would put them in the 'outer edge' of the tornado, which simply means that the 300 MPH winds only lasted 25 seconds and not a full minute if the center of the tornado had passed over them. Of course, 25 seconds would have been plenty of time to level everything in its path. Still don't know how the people in that cooler survived. That must have been as terrifying experience (putting it mildly).

Actually, it would have been closer to a minute than 15 seconds, because this tornado was a mile wide as I recall. And it would have taken a minute (at 60 MPH, which might well have been the speed the tornado itself was traveling) to completely pass if the center had crossed. How did they survive in the cooler? I know it was probably steel reinforced, but against 300 MPH winds they are still VERY lucky to be alive. In fact, I don't know how there was so relatively little loss of life...
