Austin is such a KICK-ASS place!!! I live here! I like how theres a huge storm outside, but everybody inside is having a great time!!!!

*wonders what kind of party they would've had if a powerful tornado touched down on the bar*

I know that in such condition it becomes tough to shoot a video, but still it was good. I think the video looks a bit dark. If the light was enough, it would have been better.

Not a tornado. If it was, the wind would be louder and the people away from windos and in the basement.

I remember this night!!! I was in 5th grade and had just gotten home from football practice when me and my dad were up till like 11 seeing if there was a tornado by our house.

The storm and damage being seen was from a Microburst.
