Skyviper Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Tornado touched down in my area last night stayed on ground for 2 hours killed 16 and I missed it by 15 minutes
+whiteknight06604 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 yeah it's all over the news, so glad you are ok.
von Baur Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I heard about that. I'm just north of you, southern Missouri. The price of living in the midwest.
+Spectre8750 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Me too, I used to live in Joplin, MO and Stillwater, OK. Midwest can be dangerous this time of year.
+Swordsman422 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Glad you are okay. News like this makes me so happy that I moved out of Tornado Alley. Back in 1992 I got to watch a tornado skip over my house in Tulsa, Oklahoma taking only a couple of roof shingles before touching back down a mile away and making a real mess. I was twelve. Nearly peed my pants. Anyway, yes, I am very glad to hear that you are safe.
+DoctorQuest Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Greetings from Omaha. I have been there. My prayers go out to the folks involved.
Nesher Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 glad to hear you're okay, sad to hear about the others! take care viper!
Skyviper Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. Here's a photo as it was going past my town. This dealership is a just a few blocks away from my house ... keep in mind that this sucker is outside of my town by ten to fifteen minutes down the road.
ironroad Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Good hear you are safe and hope the best for those affected. The Mid-west, South, and Mid-Atlantic are supposed to be rained/stormed in for the rest of the week. Everyone in those areas please be aware and prepare to the best of your ability. Many of the major charities have tornado/storm relief pages set up (Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc.) online. You can donate via credit/debit, usually any amount, at most places. If you prefer not to give money; clothes, canned food, and blood/plasma donations are usually accepted ( in some cases they do more immediate good than money can). Last time I gave blood at one of the armed services blood drives I was told that a pint of blood could save three lives. Edited April 29, 2014 by ironroad
