[jaf1856]

this was one weird ass day ill tell u that

[skatebod]

i was at band practice when this happened it was scary first my mom and i were like wait, why are the tornado sirens going its not saturday? oh well. then to our suprise we had to evacuate into the basement we felt really dumb none us us were hurt thankfully.

[josded]

No clue if this is the wheatland tornado or not (there were a lot that day) but I saw it coming towards my house in Rochester as the front advanced. It was a beautiful pink, red, and orange sunset and the tornado was moving directly at me. Far, far way away though. I then saw it veer off to my left and hit my friend's neighborhood and house. Maximum range possible, probably 20-25 miles away. I helped with the clean up afterwards... it was major damage. Friend lost the entire house.

[DiabolicalTornado88]

No, this is the one that was actually in the city of Kenosha. It was the same day though, probably an hour later.

[peteythepumpkin]

[mc9391]

i saw that tornado from I-94.. we heard it on the radio and we looked towards the lake from the interstate and saw it. i was like YAY

[hottrani8]

This was the tiny tornado that hit my house. I live in Hunters Ridge. I was taking a nap upstairs when it happend. My lil sis came to wake me up to go downstairs the very minute the tornado came. We heard it and just looked at each other... wondering if it was just stong wind or if it was accually the tornado. But then we heard some of the trees cracking and my window just broke off! So that very second my sis and me ran downstairs. It was scary. I'm now scared of strong winds!

[WebkinzstarXoX]

me2! i remember i waz @ my grandparents house..we were doooing r homework...then we heard sirens alerts ect. and we were in the basement like the WHOLE time....

[music95love]

i remember that! i went to washtington ms and they made us stay in the basement of the school until the tornado left even tho it was al on the other side of town, it was snowing then for like 3 days the weather was at like 50-60 then it hit al of a sudden

[launboy8]

Sure are a lot of people out on the road for a tornado.... u'd think us kenosheans would be smarter.

I was home alone when it came. It tore apart my friends neighbors house, but didn't even take a shingle off theirs. Amazing

[totopole101]

[GirlsGutGutsTooFFEMT]

Global Warming's junk science,someone had to say it lol.

[U2CollectiveSoul]

We live in the middle of where there were touchdowns. Skeery!

[Emmaluella]

This is all the fault of GLOBAL WARMING!

[U2CollectiveSoul]

That's what I started thinking when all these hurricanes and tropical storms started whipping up :C(

[cramergirl776]

[KB6123]

[hen7713]

I live in Kenosha and that was the weirdest event I had went through even when I was in the dells it was crazy but that was worse. It was like they did not know what to do because the sirens were going on and off I was by Walgreen's when the first sirens went off.

[Cenvere]

This one destroyed one of my favorite place to eat...

but yeah, I do agree this was by far the strangest weather I have ever seen in Kenosha.

[hen7713]

I even had seen pitch black skies in Kenosha but never a tornado

[noodle12356884]

[XxXisurmomXxX]

K-TOWN 4 LYF

[electroangelove]

OMG I live in Kenosha and that storm was really bad!!

[jnajem]

At 23, you can see power lines getting hit.

[hbarrett10]

One of those was a power transformer that was hit and we lost power for hours.

[jnajem]

I believe it. I live in Madison, and took a weather spotter class many years ago. One of the things the NOAA instructor kept saying was that "tornadoes occur 12 months a year in all 50 states." You've got proof right there.

[jnajem]

At 23, you can see power lines getting hit.

[jnajem]

DUDE! WHERE'S THE SOUND?

[hbarrett10]

Sound is on you just can't hear anything.

[jnajem]

I see. Weren't you scared???

[hbarrett10]

No I wasn't scared I actually wanted the cars in front of me to hurry up and move the heck out of the way so I could get to it closer.

[jnajem]

awesome!

[coyotye]

Actually jnajam may be right I put the volume on full and still can't hear anything. Besides that, I like your videos. For some reason, I like bad weather. It makes me feel good just watching it...

[Bradman21]

Don't forget, this was the same storm which struck Poplar Grove and Harvard IL first. We had quite a bit of damage, but maybe not as much because the areas are sparsely populated. However, I think it was a bit stronger when it first touched down.

[tylerf1069]

it was just so still before the storm. almost as if you knew a tornado was coming

[6Blood6Junkie6]

This one was about 2 miles or so away from Paddock Lake where I live cuz it turned northward. My friend lives near Highway O where it first touched down and she saw it all. Didn't hit her house luckily.

[hbarrett10]

Yeah it was something to see that is for sure I know I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

[mrSarcastic1984]

awesome film!! u caught it either it went almost over my house or right before it did!

[hbarrett10]

I think I caught it as it started I was watching the whole time for one.

[kazimachan]

I live in Kenosha. There was damage a few blocks away from me :[

[hbarrett10]

Yeah the Tornado hit about a half a mile from our house and our house was in the path of the Twister if it would have stayed on the ground we would have been hit.
