JUST SOME OF THE SPOTS HIT BY WHAT HAS BEEN AN UNUSUALLY HIGH NUMBER OF TORNADOS THIS YEAR.
Patrick Marsh / Warning Coordination Meteorologist, National Weather Service: The thunderstorms that we are seeing right now are the kinds that you really have to take seriously. There's large hail, there's tornadoes, there's strong damaging winds and the pattern is going to continue.

Fran Jones / Survived EF-4 tornado: I felt like some hail or something and my husband looked up and he said we don't have a roof anymore. I don't know what we're going to do.
IN LINWOOD, KANSAS, I'M DIANNE GALLAGHER.
