    Since 2006, Caruthersville has had TWO giant tornadoes, this 60 mph forward speed one and the sloooow-moving Marmaduke/Caruthersville whirl that hit the latter town directly during an afternoon in March 2006. Agreed that this will be some of the best footage of last night's historic event. Tragically amazing.
