You're seeing Dead People's Stuff in movies and in Oklahoma City - no, seriously.

"Twisters" hit theaters this weekend, and focused on tornadic weather in Oklahoma. During the blockbuster film's opening weekend, a town in southwest Oklahoma was struck by a severe storm causing significant damage to homes, businesses and various other structures.
