Default Local Tornados

We have been through 3 tornado watches today.

From Charlotte through Raleigh and up through my area. One touched down about 3 miles form my house and 2 were down 20 miles from me.

My wife and I spent several minutes in the downstairs bathroom. That is the most solid point in the house.


Anyway, thank God we were spared.

Good to hear you weren't hit Lee. It is storming like crazy at my house now!

I love tornadoes. It probably helps that I'm from Tornado Alley...
