I finally saw my first TORNADO......YIKES, hope I never see another one. We had no idea that anything was going on outside (the weather station is on all of the time and there were no warnings, either). Living in a log cabin, you don't hear SQUAT when the house is shut up.... nothing. A nuclear bomb could go off and we'd never know it. Our neighbors down the hill called to tell us we were about to get hit by a tornado!
We jammed the kids into the basement and went out on the porch just in time to see it form on the west side of our lake. We were so close that it was difficult to make out the tornado until the funnel dropped out of the sky and touched down. It moved completely around the perimeter of our property touching down a few times. After tearing up some trees, it moved up the road and took a big healthy bite out of someone's barn. It was really strange: The pieces of the structure seemed to be suspended high in the air for quite some time b4 flying out in all directions.
I don't think I'll be sleeping very soundly t'nite......
