Man it sure was close. Like joe said we just got in the shelter before it hit. We pulled in at the shop and 2 min later it was on top of us, literally. I've lived with tornadoes my whole life, but like joe said this one was scary. I watched it set down not 300 yards from us. Total time on the ground, in our neighborhood was about 2 min. It was a solid f2/f3. Left a half mile wide path and if you check out the other pix in our album you can see it devastated the town. The national weather service guys said we were lucky in that it wasn't on the ground for long and didn't shift it's track. Personally most people don't feel real lucky about it. There was a team of storm chasers that followed it in from Warren OK so it did some traveling. They're finding checks from people 7 counties away, that are falling on us. We were lucky in that south of here it hit several other towns, in one of them the only thing left standing is city hall. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]
