When the sirens sounded we grabbed my camera and headed out to see our first tornado. The skies looked funny, then the clouds started swirling, it got really dark, then OMG the funnel came down and it really did sound like a freight train. It touched down about a mile from our home and damaged some warehouses, thankfully no body was injured. Some of the damage (this is a concrete building) is shown on the right. Entered in the "Mother is Angry" Challenge. (Only challenge members can vote.)
