one needs a bit of luck every now & then
« on: July 12, 2010 - 03:37:02 PM »
we don`t have any tornado`s like some of you experience in the US, but we had some freak twisting wind today  :22yikes:    It felt like watching discovery`s stormchasers... the roar before it broke loose, the weird twisting clouds in the sky. I`m glad I started running closing all windows and stuff, or I would have missed some parts of my house for sure.  Roofs getting airborne, hundreds of old trees came down...  :-\ 
I feel so lucky, my house and cars survived with no damage  :clapping:   my friends roof was gone and he lives 3 houses from me.  There also was a big chunk of tree in my driveway from someone a street away.... told him to come pick up his junk.....  :lol:

Glad your OK.  Those pics look nasty.  In 08, half of a town here in Iowa was taken out by an F5.  The video from that storm was insane.

Scary stuff.  Looks like you had tornado-type conditions to me.  The damage to the house is awful - poor family.

That thing was almost a tornado! It's called a funnel cloud. You can still have high winds at the ground when there are funnel clouds!
