I think there is about to be a tornado outside my house.

Was it really that bad anywhere near Houston tonight? You may have imagined it all.

 

We had a tornado come right over our old house in Austin in the middle of the night years ago. They really do sound like a freight train. Knocked down a 70 foot plus pecan tree just on my neighbor's side of the fence. It was way back in his backyard. Next morning, the top of the tree was pressed up against the sliding glass doors that faced the back. It was extremely freaky. My significant other was very pregnant at the time. The storm had woken me up and we were in a hallway with a mattress I had grabbed off a guest bed over her when it came right over us.

Imaginary tornadoes can be far more frightening, depending on the circumstances. I've been there, as well. Your's sounds groovy, though.

 

I'm in Laporte. It was pretty damn bad for a little while there

 

Ya it was so loud I couldn't hear the episode of trailer park boys

 

Hope no one was hurt. It's weird, but I've seen 3 tornadoes, not counting the one that went over the house, and several waterspouts, one while on a boat out in the bay. They get your attention. The first twister I saw was off to the right while driving up to Oklahoma, where my late grandfather lived at the time. It just came out of a hairy black cloud and seemed to be going the same direction we were. Hard to tell. The car didn't have seatbelts (none did back then), and being in the back, I leaned over and looked at the speedometer. It only went up to a hundred. Dad had that sucker pegged past it. We were flying. It was exciting, to tell the truth.

 

OPEN LIQUOR!!!!!

 

I didn't get a cool view, just an exploding transformer two houses down. Now that I think about it, it was a pretty cool view.

 

I live near Montgomery. We had a number of storm and tornado alerts during the game, but other than a bit of wind, a few thunder claps and a brief bit of hail no worries. Tha Dude must live north or west of me since it seemed worse nearer Waller.
