Hope everyone has been able to stay safe. I was in between at least two tornadoes no more than 10 miles in either direction this evening. Thunder, lightning and some pockets of rain (brief moments where is was almost heavy), but nothing too crazy. Just wild how random this **** has been.

I think today were the first big long tracks that did significant damage to populated areas not in total darkness in a while. Rolling Fork and Mayfield were both pure night time tornadoes.

"Ummmm should we get away from the window"
uh, yeah.

"Coming right over us" - that guy has seen some **** in his life to speak so calmly and casually about the tornado going over him.

He is in a train though that wasn't going to go anywhere. I was surprised to see the outer glass got shattered on that one pane. Still it would have been quite the experience.

Railroad men and women are a different breed by nature.

Which production?

Did they call a emergency intermission for storm warnings? What is the musical?
Annie Jr. If you harken back to the original 80's movie, friend's kiddo was playing Bernadette Peters' part.

Probably 10 minutes after intermission was over, you heard everyone's cell phone go off with the tornado warning. They herded everyone out of the auditorium and into classrooms located off of interior hallways. No, we didn't get to see the end and we don't know HOW Annie will get to stay with Daddy Warbucks!

Disappointing they didn't restart it. :(

Incredible. What are the odds of stopping the locamotive in the exact path of that tornado.

It always amazes me how lucky/unlucky you have to be to take a direct hit when you think about how little area even a large tornado actually covers.
I'll bet Reed Timmer wishes he was there...
