Pullstart 59,839 #1 Posted April 24 (edited) 9:30 last night, give or take, we had the alert blasts on 2 of our 5 devices, tornado warning in our area. We are on the NW corner of our county, but the county is big. Well for the the folks that came from 131 to the low day, a tornado was spotted at the end of our road, where the T is and it was heading east south east. To the west, it was just over a mile away. It passed south of us, less than a mile away. I hollered at the kids (upstairs) to get in the basement with my best dad voice. One hurried right down, the other moseyed. I am glad I kept calm in the time of warn, because my instinct was to toss that kid into the basement . Thanks @Blasterdad for checking in on us, being somewhat local he knew it’s path and how close to us it really was.

It sure was hammering the house from random directions, but we never heard the “freight train” that comes along with twisters… 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,839 #10 Posted April 24 We know a handful of single guys in the area. Most of them grabbed a beer or two (in case they needed provisions to shelter in place of course) and sat in the garage hoping for a glimpse of it 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
