Wow...scary and amazing all at the same time! I'm glad to hear your OK and it didn't hit your city Springie.

I didn't hear about it, but then I didn't watch the news last night.

Holy shit! I'm glad to hear you're alright Springie! I have a feeling it's going to be a bad year for storms. I wonder what the meteorologists have to say...

Wow! Awesome footage. Really neat clouds! Very early in the season for an F4.

They can come up with very little warning, and be very local. I was walking my son 5 miles from the F4 in Guelph in 1999. Beautiful evening, not enough clouds to worry about rain when we started, then deluge and winds out of nowhere. I didn't know it was a tornado than the last day.

The meteorologists back then were taken totally by surprise. They couldn't get any of their models to admit a tornado was even possible that day. I'm guessing they took a good close look at those models.

So glad you're alright Springie! Those things can be really scary.

So, you weren't in Kanses anymore and did your house land on a wicked witch of the west and did her fellow wicked sister in the east ger you and your little dog too?

Also, what do you mean by a F4 tornado? Sounds like a plane or something.

LOL...no, I am definitely NOT in Kansas...and we never get tornados...so it was really freaky...

The "F" in F4 stands for the Fujita scale... which is how they measure the magnitude of tornados...F5 is the most damaging...Check this out...

Fujita scale

Springie I'm so glad you are all well.!!!




Cricket we had an F4 tornado hit about 10 miles from here in 2002. Another case of a slightly strange time in the year (Nov.) With that one I think only 2 people died from it. Many business were taken down.

Glad you're fine, Springie! Tornadoes scare the hell out of me. Twisters are not common in the Philippines, but we had a waterspout before in my home province that almost sent a tamarind tree crashing into our ancestral house.

PS I see your sig piccie has become colored. He he he.

Wow, Springie, I'm so glad you're ok! Huggles

That footage was pretty scary and reminded me of another thing I hated when I lived in Florida... The severe thunderstorms they get over the summer will spawn one without much warning. And the hurricanes are even worse... Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the northeast quadrant of a hurricane, and that was right where I was for most of them. My biggest fear was that one would hit in the middle of the night. Or when I was on the road and had no way to escape it....

Scary scary stuff. I hope you don't ever have to go through that again!!

I can imagine!

America has such a diverse climate, you get everything from Twisters to major earthquakes!

Hino....Here Cyclones hit the top part of Queensland and the NT, they can be bad in those parts...

Believe it or not, Ebony, I remember back in the 90s, when the movie twister was big, you could actually take 'tornado tours.' People would come mainly from other countries to the midwest in the summer in hopes of seeing a tornado. I used to think, 'yeah, really interesting. Hope to see a tornado to tape on your camcorder but don't think about the houses and lives it may destroy.'
