Normally you see destruction and buildings laying every where, at Jarrell eveything was gone including asphalt from the the roads.

I was living in Waco when that one hit. Incredible amount of destruction and force. I couldn't imagine if something like that ripped through downtown San Antonio or any city for that matter. I wouldn't think all the tall building would be enough to hamper or stop it.
