Bank CCTV captures tornado destroying house

An ATM surveillance camera from First State Bank in Parkersburg, Iowa caught this amazing footage of a house being destroyed by the deadly May 25th F-5 tornado.
It is video from the ATM in the bank's drive up. This shows the house across the street being hit by another roof and then having its own roof torn off.

the tornado is reported as being between 5'5" and 1500' tall with a heavyset build and dark complexion.


Oh my god - that mofo lives down my block! If not, it's his twin. I'll have to keep an eye on him...

Are ATM CCTVs available for purchase by the general public?

serious question for a second... why do they build the houses out of wood in an area where their known to get ripped to shreds every year ? It looks like a pile of toothpicks waiting to be slaughtered

Because building them out of bananas just doesn't make much sense.

Even in tornado alley the odds of *your* house being hit is really low. Each year there are a few hundred destroyed out of millions. Not sure about the statistics, but there's probably a better chance that your house will burn down. And yet people still build out of wood.

I find the people who hook their homes up to the back of the pickup and move there to be more interesting. Tornados hunt trailer parks... in packs...
