You got me with that title. A+

I feel so bad for laughing at that title.

While glancing at the article, I saw "Limbs". Immediately thought "That would suck, having rotten limbs falling on you" and then I read the whole article.

Are you sure those dead people were not somehow sucked out of their coffins after the tornado somehow ripped up the grass?

"Several gravestones and headstones were damaged by falling limbs"

Oh man, that title, I felt bad for laughing thinking that maybe 100 people did die. Oh well, guess not, gg.

Apparently investigation is still ongoing, they're uncovering more bodies under the wreckage! Police will stay digging for more survivors, but they have little hope

What a grave situation.

The tornado would have had to suck up 6-10 feet of earth and a concrete lid to even get to the casket. The only chance that could happen is if it was a fresh burial and all of the soil was disturbed and loose. But I doubt it could pull up a heavy concrete liner 10 feet down.

Oh god how horrible would it be if the Tornado did suck up all the bodies and flung them all over the city
