There's a TORNADO outside my house in Suffolk, Virginia!

HOLY CRAP! This happened right in front me! I know this incident is just a little pinch compared to the other locations where the tornado touched down..

It was really cool to also see in person how the tornado clouds circulated right above me..

I've only lived for about a month in my new place, and i was deathly scared that it was going to go through it. By instinct, the best thing we did was drive away from the area, but we turned around because we thought we were going 'into' the storm, so we drove the other way around, but to find out that the damage had already occurred! And thankfully it was a small amount.. and thank God that he spared the homes in my area.

Happened on Monday, April 28, 2008 at 4:27pm ET.

-Suffolk

At 2:53 you can see the tornado's rotation. It's not a well defined tornado, but you were heading right at it. Those fast moving clouds at 2:53 in the video are part of the tornado's circulation. If you're ever in doubt where the tornado is, stop and look around before you make your next move, had the tornado made a slight jog to the left, it would have got you. I chase these storms, and I had the same situation, seeing leaves falling from the sky, so I located the tornado, then I made my move.
