#3 'Tis the season.

We had an area Tornado Warning a couple months back. Nothing really, don't even think anything touched the ground. Scared the bejeebus out of the new residents. Went over procedure with them, what to have in their emergency kit, how to track storms, and that it can get a bit hairier. I did not tell them what that was, was just a bit of wind and that sometimes -this- happens.

They were familiar with last year's locally famous tornado in Andover, KS. But that was a nice, pretty, ready to audition in the movie Twister tornado. They were not ready for sirens after dark.

#4 Nice, short video of Andover tornado.

Not so big, but still scary.

#6 I've been in two tornados, one in Enid, Oklahoma in 1955 and one in Headland, Alabama, where stuff was destroyed all but our houses were spared. I will never forget the sound or the devistation.
