  • "Strong rotation?!?" Yeah, I guess that's one way of putting it...!

  • @dragonridley It hit the industrial park on the west edge of town. Really lucky actually, since it was headed straight toward Rock Valley but changed direction just before it got there. I was driving home and was almost there when I saw this beast heading straight for where I live. It was awesome in a freaky way haha.

  • Did this hit the town itself or just go nearby?

  • @postb8822 i used to live right across from the ballpark... wow i still remember that tornado...

  • Radio: "we don't have anything confirmed on the ground yet" haha. That's the BIG problem with radio, television and NOAA weather radio reports. Lots of times, those reports are 5 to 10 mins. LATE. I know they do their best, they really do. But there is just simply a logistical time lag between the spotter on the ground contacting the tv or radio station, and the station relaying that report to the on-air guy. The avg. citizen simply must ALSO keep a vigilant eye on the sky during these times.

  • I would stand there as long as I could.

  • Let's jump in your pool :P

  • How can you sand there for 30 seconds looking at that monster...I would be pissing my pants right there...

  • This tornado was partially filmed for the Discovery Channel show "Storm Chasers". The episode was on earlier tonight (11/2/08).
