So Jen and I working on moving some of her “summer science observation” animals around the house so they won’t be in the way till the school season starts back up in August [Snails, Millipedes, Roaches, Fish, Crabs]. We keep hearing the TV alert warning system going off… I look outside and see a storm brewing…

I open the door and can hear tornado/air raid type sirens going in the distance. I moved the dogs down into the basement and then grabbed the camera…

Here’s the pics I was able to get:

about 30 min after the storm passed I went about 2 miles down the road and saw the damage:

I’ve seen a Tornado july 2008 in France. It was a little one but it was terrible to see how nature ruins peoples live.:nuts:
It’s brave to take some pictures during a tornado:eek:
Was it was a F1 or F2 tornado in your neighbourhood??

Rocket John, thanks so much for posting the pictures. The great news is there were not more injuries or deaths. When mother nature flexes her muscles its is an awsome and humbling experience. I will be visiting paradise bakery today to see how they are doing. The new marketing director must have her hands full as i have been trying to contact her with no luck.
