Woodward News captures tornado
Major props to the Woodward News for their non-stop coverage of the tornado that ripped through their city overnight. The above footage was posted to their Facebook page within an hour and picked up by most of the local media, stunned by its images and probably by the speed it was posted as well.
Also the Woodward News (@woodwardnews) did an outstanding job of posting updates on its Twitter feed. It was a perfect example of how to use social media to inform and update its readers.
