Razor, Thanks for the post as I missed it on TV. Gee, I need to get Tivo.

 

They are rare here but NOT unheard of. I remember the one that went through Seven Corners back in 1980 damaged hundreds of cars at Koon's Ford and in the parking lots at the Oakwood Apartments where I lived at the time.

I rode it out in my Honda Prelude at the intersection of Wilson & Roosevelt Blvds not realizing that a tornado was passing within about one hundred yards of me as it was raining so hard I could not see past the windshield even with the wipers going at full speed.

 

Yes, tornadoes touched down in 12 areas Fri evening. Amazing...
