Tornado

Last Monday evening we had a tornado come through our town from a storm that produced numerous tonado's across the state. It was the first time we had to go into the underground shelter since we have lived here. We were out of town for the day, but luckily got back home in time to gather a few things and take cover. The one that hit our town was about a mile south of our road/house. We had some slight wind damage down our road from straight line winds on the outside of the tornado area, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Since it tore down quite a few power lines we were out of electricity for about 3 days. We are just Thankful that it was not any closer to us and that us and our houses (my grandparents and sister live next door) stayed safe!

When we came out of the shelter to look, we could see three funnels clouds still spinning.

Here are a few pics of some of the damage we saw the next morning:

This is roofing and insulation from some peoples house that was almost totally destroyed.
