After watching the locals news today, it made me realize just how lucky I am...
An unexpected tornado hit our city around 1:30 am Sunday morning. It happened so quickly the National Weather Service didn't issue a warning until it was too late and the city didn't have enough time activate the storm sirens.
The scary part is that it formed 3 miles from me on the exact street that my house if off of. Luckily, it shifted southeast about 1 block from my turn off and barely missed my neighborhood.
Although our yards were filled with insulation and other debris from the damaged businesses. It destroyed a major shopping center and various restaurants close by that I visit often. Good news, no one was killed, but we had a lot of injuries since there was a 24 hour restaurant and another bar in the vicinity where the tornado formed.
