The Tornado…

{{{{post from EC’s board}} Tornado Chasing….I’m now done with it!

Texas reporting in here. 🙂

I work in downtown Dallas and a tornado ripped through nearby…golf ball sized hail was taking out cars on the street below before I left the office.

I know that most people get rattled…when they see that kind of event…

…I…being “Tony”… got stupid and went tornado chasing.

..and subsequently got chewed out by a cop for attempting to chase the tornado after leaving work. 😉

Don’t get me wrong, I am acutely aware of how dangerous these kinds of weather are. I just had to see one up close, to date I had only been able to see one from about a quarter mile, and last night it was WAY closer…so Friday was essentially another notch in the belt for “stupid things that Tony risked his life doing.”

Anyhow, the damage is pretty extensive and I got to see the wreckage firsthand this afternoon…it was horrible. I found out that three other tornadoes touched down within 50 miles as well. People are coming out of the woodwork to help though, and so I think most are walking away with a very healthy respect for life now.

We were supposed to get similar weather tonight, but if looks like the weather guys are WAAAAY off, I dont even think it’s rained here today ;).

Take care all.

Tony
