Got caught in a tornado in the s2k today!
i have no idea where i was directly in relation to the tornado, but streets and fences like 1/4 mile from where the torandao went werent even touched, and with the immediate onset, and imeediate exit out of it, i believe i was right in the mix. and news report after news report the following days showed that at that within 1 hour(same time i was on may way home), 4 tornados had touched down in my area and they were moving across the state at 55mph! 1 minute i was waiting at the light and it started to hail and could see cars, a 7 eleven, all sorts of stuff. not even 1 minute after that i was totally engulfed in the mess and literally couldnt see my hood or side mirrors. it was extremely loud, extremely dark, and very disorienting.
its crazy because i retraced my route to/from work, and i could see pretty much everywhere the tornado went. it was as extreme as some in the mid west where its like the earth was totally wiped out in a 100 yd wide path. but it was definitely still visible. my neighbor still has his massive tree uprooted and laying against his house. must have been at least 30 years old or so. sad.

glad you made it out safely man, Im sure your car is fine, run a compression test to make sure if you want, but I highly doubt the car hydrolocked if it started up on the first try with no ill effects or noises.
