00:00A scary sight as this tornado formed. The dark February skies produced an EF-0 tornado
00:06that moved through Columbia and southern Mississippi Wednesday afternoon. Homes and businesses
00:11were damaged, but no injuries reported. The tornado had winds of 85 miles per hour as
00:16it made its two-mile trek through town. That's just one of the tornadoes reported this week.
00:22February has brought a lot more than tornadoes. We're going to start in the West, where weeks'
00:27worth of snow brought issues to one school in southwest Oregon. This video actually shows
00:31the North Medford High School's gym roof collapsing. Thankfully, no one was injured. One of the
00:37trusses of the gym was found to have a crack in it days before Tuesday's collapse. Engineers
00:42estimated that 700,000 pounds of snow may have worsened a structural weakness. In California,
00:49late-week rain has brought these images. Streets turned to streams as water raced through populated
00:54neighborhoods around Los Angeles. Meanwhile, snow was once again measured in feet in California's
00:59mountains. The team at Mammoth Resorts took to snow removal with shovels and bulldozers.
01:04To the northwest Arkansas, where ice encased everything Tuesday. Two-tenths of an inch
01:09of ice was covered on power lines and led to some power outages. And it wasn't just
01:14the ice causing problems.
01:18Here we go!
01:25Hey, we're wrecking! We're wrecking! We're wrecking! Stop! One-sixteen! We're wrecking! Stop! Everybody stop!
01:31On Interstate 29 in northwest Missouri, these tractor trailers narrowly missed colliding
01:35with one another. The snow left the covered left lane with more challenges for some big rigs.
01:41Of course, this is all part of some of the snowy images and icy images and wet images
01:46that we've captured this week.
