This one doesn't show it quite as well because we can't see the before picture. However, the trees tell a different tale entirely. Seeing trees stripped like this is at the very least a high end EF4...but adding that to the slab that is left here and other places leads me to believe it was an EF5 at various points.

I went thru Mayfield about 2 hours before the devastation. Was already raining and a little windy. Stopped about 15 miles north at my son's place in Lone Oak. Got a call about 10 or so from one of his coworkers who said his house and his entire neighborhood was just gone. They were in their basement and were uninjured but lost everything. I went outside and watched the tornado, or what I presumed was the tornado, pass by my son's about 4 or 5 miles to the southeast. Mayfield, a town of about 10,000, is utterly destroyed. Looks like pictures of bombed out towns in Germany at the end of WW 2. They're gonna need a lot of help.

Unusual phenomenon causes fish to rain from sky in Texas town



Officials in Texas town said residents weren't just imagining it when it seemed to be "raining fish" during a storm.

The city of Texarkana said in a Facebook post that it was indeed "raining fish" during Wednesday's rainstorms.

"Animal rain is a phenomenon that occurs when small water animals like frogs, crabs, and small fish are swept up in waterspouts or drafts that occur on the surface of the earth. They are then rained down at the same time as the rain," the city's Facebook post said.
