Tornado touching down in Westfield MA on 6/1/11

I was sitting at Easthampton Savings Bank's drive-up talking with the girl serving me when I noticed the storm getting eerie and a dark cloud starting to drop fast. Whipped out the Blackberry and took footage. Pretty freaking scary, watching it happen, then the endorphins hit when it moved away from where I was. Maybe it's lame to people in Iowa, but this has wrecked the entire Western MA area today.
UPDATE: I say OMG a lot, yes. And I don't LIKE shutting up, so don't tell me to. The whole Springfield area's wrecked, so if you actually wanna do something productive instead of act trollish, go here: http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/news/local/hampden/List-of-shelters-for-tornado-victims to find a list of shelters you can donate supplies to to help.

it didn't look like it touched down completely by the way the trees and building hid the lower part, but regardless, that's still some crazy shit!

@XcapeArtist357 It looks closer than it was; it DID touch down about a 1 1/2-2 miles away. I work close to the area, and we had a few people who had their houses ripped apart and deemed uninhabitable until they got 'em fixed. AND a grammar school was closed down for a bit, because it trashed a few classrooms. So yup, was nuts!

Why hasn't anyone warned us to engage the MUTE button before watching this video ?

@MegaDusty56 You're just so completely precious--and original to boot! As I told someone in the comment above: "Sorry for my natural reactions to a terrifying but exhilarating event happening in front of me and my son's faces. Next time I'll say, "Oh dear, it looks like we're in for a touch of bad weather. My, that's a tornado. I find myself quite frightened but intrigued!""

OH.MY.GOD! Shut up bitch!!

[HoneyNVinegar]

@MrJoshyt12 LOL, no. Christ, what IS it with the internet and its trolls, always dropping by just to curse someone they don't even know out? Be proud, son, of your doucheyness.

@02703ma You probably mean me and my 'omg's. Sorry for my natural reactions to a terrifying but exhilarating event happening in front of me and my son's faces. Next time I'll say, "Oh dear, it looks like we're in for a touch of bad weather. My, that's a tornado. I find myself quite frightened but intrigued!"
