Tornado!

[LauraP]

Sirens went off about 110 pm and cops were racing around with their lights on. Finally heard there was a tornado touchdown in a little bitty town about 5 miles away. We have the high winds, rain, tree limbs down but thank goodness that's all. This is the worst I've seen in my 10 yrs here. Hope it quiets down.

Re: Tornado!

Those sirens are scary!! Growing up, we spent every summer in the SE corner of South Dakota. Once we could see a tornado going across the prairie. My aunt said it was about 10 miles away, but it left a deep impression on me. When those sirens went off in the middle of the night, we were usually up the rest of the night because of the storm and being scared.

Stay safe....

Re: Tornado!

Living in MO for 10 years I experienced 2 tornadoes, now I'm living in FL for 35 years and have gone thru several hurricanes. At least hurricanes you have time to prepare. Five miles is too close for comfort. Glad you escaped harm.

Re: Tornado!

So glad to hear you are safe. The storms missed us yesterday, but the last 2 days we were hit with high winds on top of all the rain. I picked up sticks for over 5 hours yesterday!
