they didn't hear the sirens there. He tried to turn as many loose as he could so they would have a chance. He said it was like in the movie Twister -- horses picked up and blown around. The barn totally collapsed.

In the horse forum I go to they saw some video. Most that survived have catastrophic injuries and will have to be put down.

And that was just at one farm with 80 horses. Apparently there were other, smaller horse farms in its path.

The thing is, they never had a chance. It probably was too big and fast for them to outrun. A weather helicopter was a mile away and reported it was getting sucked in.
