Default Tornados aren't fun

Well, luckily the S2000 is ok, but the subdivision sure isn't...
We had a nasty tornado rip through our area at 5pm today. My wife was home when it changed from a Tornado Watch to a Warning, and she quickly took our dog to the cold cellar. I drove right in the storm to get home so my heart could be at ease seeing my family was safe.
If anyone else is up in this area, I hope you are all ok!


Mike

It wasn't strong enough to do damage when it rolled through our parts, just enough to bend some trees, but it must have picked up steam by the time it arrived up there. Good to hear all in your family are safe, good move with your wife moving to the cellar.

Straight out of Kansas!

I'm glad to hear you and the family are ok.

The one house looks like it lost to whole top floor! Crazy

Looks like the hurricane straps weren't put on properly, the entire roof system is gone
