Non-Fox, alternate source with drone footage, for those with a preference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROXs0F7gcc4

EDIT: Oops, wrong tornado (same day, different state).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsBzadyNWRY has a view of the Tornado from a local nearby, however.

This is the tornado that hit Kentucky not Edwardsville Illinois.

As far as I know Fox TV stations have no connection to the Fox with the cable news channel aside from being part of the same company in the past.

It’s reasonable for people with center-right, centrist, or left-leaning politics to distrust Fox affiliates. Some of them are in fact still owned by the same company as Fox News.

TV network affiliates can be either independently owned or owned & operated by the network. Disney did not acquire either the Fox TV network or the Fox TV O&O stations in the recent Fox studio sale to Disney, likely because Disney already owns the ABC TV network and strategic ABC affiliates.

Doesn't it seem like the cars in that (horrible) path of destruction survived better than the buildings?

Well a modern car is a steel safety cage on wheels. It's designed and tested to withstand impacts, rollovers, etc. while keep the occupants safe (or at least, not crushed).

It was meant in reference to this comment:
