Night Time Tornadoes!!!

So our weatherman is basically worthless. Last night at about 9:30 it was a beautiful clear night and the weatherman said that it was going to be a quiet night. Not 20 minutes later there was thunder and lightening all over the place. The tornado warnings went off and Andrew and I thought it was going to be a crazy night. And it was, just thankfully it was crazy on the other side of town and our house (while we did get a ton of rain, thunder, and lightening) was unscathed. Unfortunately, a lot of people weren't so lucky. The local Fox news channel reported TWO tornadoes. Here is an article that talks about the tornado that was closest to our house. How scary is that???? Tornados are bad enough, but to have them at night when you are trying to sleep????

Cut and paste this into a browser. There is crazy damage! Along with the story there is a video of the damage that you can watch. It is July and it looks like there is snow on the ground, but of course it isn't, it is HAIL!!!
