I just read it and its insane. What´s the reason. Squall-line is heading into moist air ?

Yep, signs that it may break up. Also new supercells may develop out ahead of it.

I was afraid of that. Too sad. Lives forever changed.

It hit a trailer park and was over 1/2 mile wide, so it was only a matter of time.

At this time, no active tornado warnings but multiple severe thunderstorm warnings in effect.
