Sadly is was most likely due to blunt force trauma, either by falling rubble or being picked up and slammed by 200+ mph (320+ KMH) winds.

Nothing survives these, you can google up pics of drinking straws being rammed clean into trees, and remaining intact. It just shows the power, and how helpless we are as humans on this planet.

The news broadcast I saw reckoned they were trapped by debris from the collapsed roof then drowned from water spewing out of the broken water mains.

Either way it is a tearjerker.

Both methods (pardon my bluntness) are horrid, and most likely you know what is going on as it happens.

Those people though. I mean everyone concentrates on the kids, but thier pain is gone, the poor parents though

That will stay with them forever, no matter what, as ireparable trauma to thier psyche.

The dead are free, the living still feel, and my condolences on the parents and family. Genuinely

Yes, life can often be cruel.
