You can say that again. Didn't anyone know this was coming? Why
didn't they relocate these planes?

That cute little Tomahawk managed to escape without a single scratch!

You don't get much warning of a tornado. Even if there is a warning, smart
people are more worried about taking cover (and making sure loved ones take
cover) than worrying about aircraft. Besides, even if there was time to do
something with the aircraft, what could be done? Hangars at most airports
are full, so all you can do is secure the tie-down ropes and hope for the
best. In a tornado or any winds above a certain amount, light aircraft are
going to take a beating, regardless of how well they are tied down.
