Tornado

[Travis]

We had a tornado drop down in town last night. It completely annihilated one of our city arenas and several businesses. Not much news for other parts of the country, but being in MT, tornadoes are not very common. Sometimes we have tornado warnings, but they rarely touch down. When they do, they usually touch down in a farmer's field and only active for a very short time. But this one dropped down in the city, which I guess hasn't happened since 1956. So that's the big news of the day here. Here's a video of the tornado ripping apart the arena.

 

 

BTW...we're all fine. It happened on the other side of town, so we hardly saw much more than hard rain and a bit of hail.

Wow! Glad you're all OK. I love sever weather. When I was in Texas, everyone thought we were nuts for going outdoors when the sirens went off.

Glad everyone's alright too...originally from Kansas, so tornados are common threat there (not that it makes it any better ). I get guff for my side hobby too...taping lightning! Attached a sample
