This is the tornado that hit our town last night about 5 p.m. We were in the house enjoying a Sunday evening when, while talking to my friend, she told me that they could see a twister! We got off the phone and ran outside and there it was. We estimate that it was 2-3 miles from our home. It was almost surreal seeing it because we’ve never seen one in person, only on TV. I have to say it was pretty spectacular/scary. Once we determined that we weren’t in any immediate danger, we brought out the girls and the video camera. From what I understand, it didn’t cause any significant damage and thankfully I didn’t hear of anyone getting hurt.
This is a picture that our friends, the Telford's took. It was about half mile to a mile from their home. Anyway, it made national news. Check out the video clip from CNN below.
