Tornado Hit Area 5 Mins From My House

[Doughboy]

OK PEOPLE KEEP IN MIND - I live in CA, wtf... we had a tornado hit yesterday. That called it a funnel cloud until scientists came today to survey the damage and they declared it a tornado. An F1 whatever that means in tornado terms. They compared its power to ones that hit the midwest, Pretty crazy!

Heres a link to a local newsite with a pic of it. Tornados in CA, were all gonna die!

uh oh...this sounds like some Day After Tomorrow shit. i'm going to Mexico!

F1 is the weakest a tornado can be by the way, with an F5 being the strongest.

well even for a weak F1 to be here it threw a dog into another house, a iron cast pole almost hit a guy on his jobsite, and tore some roofs up pretty bad. I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would have thought we would see weather like this.

We've had some F4's here but we haven't had any tornados for a a couple years. I remember when I grew up there was atleast one every summer or so.

yeah at one time we used to get almost hurricane type winds (not literally hurricane) topping 100+mph at times but now tornados? I dont know. Kind of makes me think about that hollywood hype movie "the day after tomorrow" with the global warming and all the shit going wrong with the atmosphere, its gotta have you thinking now.. I know I am.

LOL...you are tornado wimps! F1? Are you kidding me...and F1? thats nothing....welcome to my world....the world of F4 and F5(the most powerful) in Kansas. Normally we have a few F5's in the state any given year. F1 isn't really a lot and would cause a ton of damage.

PS - a wall cloud is the type of cloud that a torando form out of. So if you never hear there is a wall cloud in the area there could be a torando...so go outside and look for it...or if you are a scared go to the basement

Dude in kansas you learn the fujita scale in school....we're talking about a state that has 200+ torandos a touch down...maybe even more then that some years.

Last spring...we had a string of five straight days when we were in a torando warning and there was a torando on the ground with in 15 miles of our house....god I love spring....can't wait for the stroms this year!
