Great. Definitely a tornado in the area.

The Tornado alarms are going off all over the place, supposedly we are going to get one soon.

JUST when I was about to go to sleep too. No way I can sleep with these fucking alarms going off.

You also have to love the fact I sleep next to a Giant window (actually a sliding glass door) that is pretty much a wall. Tornado-proof....

Anyone else have any Tornado stories? or if your in Southern Indiana, you're probably going to have one really soon.

I was in the mall when this happened. Scary shit.

Be careful.

Holy shit. I don't think this is going to be like that, but you never know. Definitely unexpected to say the least.

That totally came out of nowhere. It touched down in the feild by the mall. Then it went over the mall completely and hit the high school. You could feel the ground shake and all the windows shattered.

In the movie Twister they call an F5 the "Hand of God." If that is what God's hand is like he can keep his meathooks to himself.

Well, we have kids that found out there was a tornado...and are now blasting Rock music and partying on their balcony. Its also 4am here.

I do remember that Tornado from Twister though, unreal.

This was the one. 158 mph winds...and it killed 22 people, injured 200 and destroyed more than 100 homes.

MSN news article here

They showed that on the 10:00 news here in your 'hood, Minnesota. Looks really bad there, lots of destruction. I heard it came in really quick and only lasted 30-60 seconds, but tore the hell out of everything.... Glad you're safe

Thank you for your concern!

Yeah, one of the biggest tornados here in the last 30 years or something like that. Funnily enough, a lot of my friends and classmates didn't even hear all the sirens going off, so most were asleep in their beds.

Most of the people that were injured or killed lived in mobile homes. Hopefully mobile home communities will develop some type of tornado shelter for their residents to avoid tragedies like this.
