Bank CCTV: Tornado levels First State Bank

submitted by Stingray

1 decade 6 years 3 months 3 weeks ago

The following text was quoted from here:
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/article3763945.ece

"Surveillance cameras at a US bank have captured a tornado destroying the inside of the building.

The EF-5 tornado that hit eastern Iowa on Sunday May 25 was the strongest to hit the state in 32 years.

The videos taken from CCTV cameras inside the First State Bank in Parkersburg have now been released by officials.

The footage gives a rare look at what happens on the inside of a building when a tornado strikes.

Seven people died in the severe weather that caused at least six tornadoes in eastern Iowa.

Hundreds of homes in Parkersburg, Hazleton, Dunkerton, and New Hartford were destroyed."

damn.

I'm a network admin for a bank that looks an awful lot like that one, so that was especially creepy to me.

It sure goes from sunshine normal to batshit crazy in a hurry doesn't it?

Moving this video to Stingray's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*begging for one more vote.

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Stingray.

I'm somehow missing the irony here.

wow bank robbers have sophisticated ways of knocking out the cameras these days...

Chaucer says...

why is a newspaper in the UK picking up a story like that?
