    I was right in the middle of it. Fortunately, I was east of the trailer park that was destroyed, and, apparently, the storm had subsided. Lots of damage in my neighborhood, trees down, neighbor's roof is in my front yard, no power, lots of roof damage, flying debris damaging vehicles and structures. Neighbor's hot tub is now in my backyard. Trampoline from my backyard is now in my neighbor's yard.

    Anyone out there need to make some quick cash clearing trees and roofing houses, load up and head this way quick. Bring a generator, it's gonna be a while before power is fully restored.

    My girl was getting her oil changed, when it hit, and they made them all get in the pit. While she was there, the oil change guy asked her out. she declined.

    there goes the free oil change.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    You guys can really derail a conversation. Well done.

    Hope everyone in Tornado Land is OK.

    Last I saw was one dead, two in critical condition.

    The storms were just South of us, but when the winds picked up the inflow from the backside, was a steady 40mph.
    Just smile and say nothing, let them guess how much you know.

    we were watching it on the news at the office. Looked scary. I don't know how some of you can live in tornado ally. I have only seen two and the after affects of one in Missouri, That was enough for me.

    It's kinda funny,I guess, but I have lived in "Tornado Alley" my whole life. My son was in the middle of he Joplin Tornado, a few years back, which was one of the worst ones ever. I've had grain bins carried off, just a few feet from the trailer I was living in. They never bothered me much, until I had family to protect. Now? I still stand outside in the rain, in threatening weather, while others are under cover. I just think I can tell more from the sound and feel of conditions, than I can from radio or tv. I tell my family, if you see me come-a-running, get ready.
