Terrible thing.
Think it was even wider in spots, nearly 2 miles they say.
Tho early reporting is so suspect these days, media is more concerned with being fast, and not worried about being accurate any more.... Rumor I heard is some of the kids drowned in the shelter, can't win, below ground flooded, above ground shelters were swept away in the very rare, very fierce monster this was.
