    First Tornado

    Yup....We got hit with a tornado. Just about 4-5 blocks from my house. You could here it and feel it from here badly. The tornado went down a street and ripped right over a Whataburger. It was cause by one of Dolly's arms of storms. It was pretty weird watching the local news as I saw almost 10 other funnels start to form around the area but did not touch down or even get half way. It was still pretty wild though.

    Re: First Tornado

    Taco is great to read that you are ok

    Earthquakes?????I dont know guys.I have been in Tornados and Hurricanes here in North Alabama.Atleast with them I can predict somewhat when they will "hit".But an earthquake,I have always wondered what it would be like,no warning just all of a sudden everything starts to shake.I guess it is all from the prespective of where you have lived.

I kid you not, it sounded & felt like a friggin train hit my house!!!!! BANG!!!!!! Very scary!!! When I got up in the morning after it was light, the tops of about 5 of my trees were twisted right off!!

    I've never been in a tornado but when I was in the 8th grade, a small one was forming over a golf course across the street from my school. It never touched down but it was pretty scary. Glad everything is safe...well almost everything.
