Back in 91' I was out on a field exercise when we had 2 go by us. We where on top of this hill and one went to the south of us then 5 mins later another went to the north of us. Both missed us less then 1000 ft.

I was so happy to jump in a fox hole that day.

I was thinking about you

**1MileCrash** · 04-28-2011, 10:05 AM

wow...that's one hell of a storm. every few years this little town (crossroads really) gets nailed by something: tornado, hail, high wind, wildfire, tornado...

but nobody has ever died that i can recall...course i have no idea why people continue to live there either...

anyway...just shows that we are nothing and no matter how well prepared we think we are we aren't and that living in a city doesn't mean that you are protected from the forces of nature.

So true. That guy had some balls, that tornado was basically just across the parking lot at one point. Way to close for my taste.

I spoke with 97ramsst this morning, he said it hit the sub division behind them, missed them but knock out power. Everything is a mess.

Went to Tuscaloosa today to drop off donations and to volunteer,and it was humbling.It looked like a war zone,debris everywhere,cars flipped and tossed about.mcfarland and 15th street area was devastated.my heart goes out to everyone affected by these storms

To everyone effected......I'm very sorry for your losses and the damage created. I seen 3 real ones back in 98 after 1 wiped my buddies house out and while they suck balls, they are very beautiful things to watch. Video does no justice. Hope everything gets back to normal and a speedy recovery!

My prayers go out to everyone affected by that tornado. I hate to say this, but Thursday morning a little after 1am, I experienced my first tornado, I hope to NEVER experience another one.

**SteveCZ28** · 05-03-2011, 11:50 AM

tornadoes in general are actually kinda neat when you arend in immediate danger. i prefer them to happen in day time hours, as you can see them like in this video, so you can kinda somehwat know how big they are, what their doing and where they look like their gonna go. but tornadoes at nite scare the shit out of me, because you cant see them, exceot for when lightning hits and it highlights them for a brief second

**Y2KArcticSS** · 05-03-2011, 12:37 PM

A little late, but prayers go out to all affected. I drove through Tushka, OK on my way back from a friend's wedding. A lot of destruction... I've seen the aftermath of many tornadoes here in OK, I have been fortunate in not being a victim so far.... I fear for myself and my family if one like that in the vid ever gets close to my home....
