Scott Cox sprinted across the field, slogging through ankle-deep water, to where his parents’ house had stood moments before. He found a mountain of debris from the EF5 tornado—a milk truck that the unusually powerful twister had flung into the yard, and his parents’ horse, bleeding, covered with welts, standing dazed near the remnants of the back deck.
