3. Officially over 50 tornados

I heard the weather channel girl slip earlier and she said 69. Unless there is a funnel cloud on the ground they can't confirm it. They have to go on the scene and see the direction of the debris to determine some destruction. But, it is really bad. Over 50 is really bad.

10. About like Saragosa, Tx in 1987

The town was only half a mile wide.

news snip
On the night of May 22, 1987, Saragosa was hit by a violent, multiple-vortex tornado. Thirty of the 183 inhabitants were killed, and 121 were injured. The storm cut a half-mile-wide path through the village and destroyed 85 percent of its structures. Total damage was $1.3 million. By the early 1990s Saragosa had rebuilt.

11. Hard to get any sleep

I'm in Iowa, kept checking the radars all night to see what was heading in this direction. Don't want to be sleeping if there are warnings posted. Thankfully just rain in my area. There are flood warnings out, but only if you live near a river, which I don't. A lot of people got it a lot worse than we did in SE Iowa.
