As some of you may or may not know.. I was not on for the past about 27-28 hours. This was the result of a F2 Tornado hitting the town I lived in.. I am not sure when the storm hit or the tornado.. All I know is that one roof was ripped off a house and chucked into a street, another person had their roof ripped off aswell, the Coca-Cola bottling plant had its roof cave in, a truck for the store called Furniture Row was flipped and all of its cargo was sent into the street, the scoreboard on our football field was torn completely off, twisted, and finally lain at the baseball fields, another factory took roof damage and hundreds of trees were snapped like twigs. At some point around 12:30 AM and 1:00 AM, the tornado came through our neighborhood.. Luckily there were no injuries and I am safe say this "THANK GOD!"

Well.. To tell you the truth, the tornado never truly 'touched down', I guess it was just bouncing off the ground. So if you think about it, the damage could of been alot worse.. and I mean alot worse. At one point in the night, the tornado was maybe 50-80 yards away from where I was staying that night. And I finally had gotten my wish.. Yes, I have always wanted to experience a tornado :D

Just like me, I suspect you live right on Tornado Alley!

Weekly occurance for most of us living in the Midwest US. :)

Heh, bad luck for the workforce employed at the C&C plant, good luck for you not have anything "serious" happen besides being there.
