[SilveradoHD01]

I work in windsor, never thought one of them bad boys would roll through

[TheGermanShepfan]

We were soooo close to getting a tornado two nights after this video was made in Stephens City. We were up ALL night tracking the thing

[TheDesertredneck]

yea i grew up at 10499 twin ponds dr, craziness do you have a confirmed address to the houses that were damaged/destroyed

[3656761]

Mobile homes and tornado..made for each other.

[DocHolidayUS22]

Time to sell those mobile homkes. You are in a region where they don't take kindly to the mobile home.

Scary

I live off of highway 258 going towards Franklin and we saw a tornado close to the highway towards Windsor, so that was probably the same one

[mdknutson]

i live in the seattle area and we have earthquakes......you have these tornados. I dont know which one i would rather have!!!

[Taynxtlvl]

@mdknutson Indeed, I live in Raleigh which suffere tornadoes on Saturday as well, and I have plans on moving to San Diego but my family is like, but they have earthquakes there. And I say, well we have hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, ice storms. Pick your poison. lol

[marinewife422]

Ahh that is my old trailer park! Grew up there!!! Crazy!

[TJsHerps]

Craziness... What street is this on? I grew up at 11077 twin ponds drive...

[JMowery]

@TJsHerps This is from Catfish St. (the third street).

[onceIhadalove]

Why can't I see a tornado here? I don't even see a funnel cloud.... I must not be seeing where it is.........

[JMowery]

@onceIhadalove It was confirmed that this was a tornado. Several homes were damaged and one was destroyed.

[Torn80cj]

@onceIhadalove Right between the two mobile homes, but off in the distance. You can even see a power flash happen at the bottom of it. It's a wide tornado, so don't look for a typical narrow funnel that most people are used to seeing in pictures or videos of tornadoes. The tornado is a wedge tornado. Even though it's on the horizon in this video, it really isn't all that far from them.

Trailors attract tornadoes like magnets! Don't live in a house made out of a Sprite can if you want to live!

[dominosgal411]

Wow, great footage!!! I would not have been brave enough to capture this! That is one scary tornado!! Hope you and everyone else in windsor are okay :)

[worldjocelyn]
