Nuff said

Shazam!  I trust there was no one hurt.

No injuries just moderate damage to a few buildings. The tornados where all EF-1.  Many funnels popped out of the clouds only three touched down.  They only lasted a few seconds before the would fall apart.  But it was an interesting evening.

        Is Dorothy Okay?       

[Royalroadie]

She's fine, but I can't find her damn dog Toto!

The moderators here fart bigger than an F1.



(and now they're wondering if that's a slam or a compliment....)

An EF-1 doesn't sound like much until you see what it can do. I saw a concrete roof tile that was 18~20inches sq buried edgewise several inches below the grass, it went into to the earth at a 90 degree angle.  I also saw several cars where the same tiles went throught the side of the car.  Just think what it could do to soft tissue.  And these where just a couple of small 15~20 second tornados that fell apart.  Moderators might be powerful but they cannot hold a candle to Mother Nature.

I heard Toto ran off with some witch. Great photo, John!

Been caught on the road a couple of times when F2s were closer than anyone would like. The whole ditch thing is just no fun. Also was riding home immediately behind the storm that was the F5 here in Joplin 2011 then immediately out in the aftermath finding family and checking damage. So, yeah, I've got an idea. Just glad you're OK.

These where nothing compared what you went through in Joplin.  I was there the next morning after the EF-5.  Words can not explain the devastation,  it looked like Hiroshima.
