sp00ky i wouldn't be caught outside with even just a warning

Ya madeit through alright, though? No damages on your property?

I'm safe, my house came out fine too, my neighbors weren't as lucky though

Bleh.... Long as everyone got out alive... Still, sorry for this thing and I hope that you will not have anything like this again.

oh shi- you ok? D;

Yeah I'm fine, just feared my death for awhile and the tornado spared me

what was the threat lvl of the twister?

Not sure, it came out of no where and the weather services are going to come out today to look at damage and categorize it. It was strong enough to collapse houses and fly industrial dumpsters across base and into some cars, the one in the picture was one of about 6. The one that hit my neighborhood was even bigger. If I could do a set of pictures of show you all of the damage but FA is limited sadly.

i see. no worries. just glad you be safe. o 3o

and yet you stand there and take a picture

Ha hell no someone in my neighborhood took that, I was fucking hiding in my bathroom ready to die

Odin have mercy

First of all, I want to say that I am really glad that you're safe and that your house is O.K! With that said, I have to admit that I find that photo to be absolutely amazing. I am a volunteer advance-level trained severe weather spotter for the U.S. National Weather Service in Northeast Illinois, and despite my being a spotter for about a decade now I have never seen anything like that in-person. There was one time that I was spotting when a tornado touched down a few blocks away from where I was, but it was late at night and the tornado was an EF1 with no visible condensation funnel so it wasn't possible for me to see it even though it was so close. With that said, while my never seeing a tornado in-person may not be the most exciting thing, it is definitely for the best-- I usually spot fairly close to my house, so if I did see a tornado up close that would also mean that it was close to my house and that would be a Bad Thing! LOL!

Anyway, I hope that all of your neighbors are unhurt, and if you're interested your local National Weather Service Office or your local Department of Homeland Security office may offer a basic-level severe storm spotter course that you can attend for free. Not only is the material that is covered in a basic spotter course interesting, but it could also possibly help you protect the lives and property of your community by teaching you how to accurately report an ongoing severe weather threat to the National Weather Service so that they can issue warnings and alerts. Take care!

IS DEE AND THE HUBS OKAY?!?!?!?

Yeah, we might be going broke soon though, the foods gonna go bad if the power isn't back on, and it's raining cats and dogs which means they probably aren't working on the power lines, so we might need a hotel room again but I'm not sure where in our budget we can do that again c_c

XC oh noooo, i mean id let you guys shack with us if you were nearby. That sux. Seems like you guys cant catch a break lately.

I am literally having bad luck out the ass and it's killing me with stress

Im so glad you are ok.
