Prayers for all in the area. It is hard to realize how powerful it was. The loss of life was sad.

I wonder if they have or had an early warning system?

They had about twenty minutes of advance warning, but there have been so many warnings this Spring many people have become jaded to the sirens. Also, this one was reported to have been a mile wide as opposed to a more normal narrower swath, so getting out of the path was not an option for anyone seeing it coming.
