Outside my front door right now... 70 mph wind or 113km/h. Quite ominous looking!

You don't need to panic until you see Bill Paxton driving by your house.

I was just there, I guess I missed the tornado by a week... It was windy there though, over 100km/h, so I just figured I was in a really really big tornado which made it seem like the wind was only coming from one direction

I think tornados are terrifying. I can't even imagine waiting to see if one hits and then waiting to see what survived its path. You can't tornado proof a home. Do you just hope nothing bad happens? Its too scary, I'll take earthquakes any day of the week.

Things getting rough in Wichita now too. Tornadic storm passed less than a mile south of my house about 5 minutes ago. No tornado on the ground at the time, but it had produced one a few minutes earlier.

We've had absolutely nothing the first 6 weeks of the season, but this kicks things off with a bang!

Wow.

An actual play by play of someone experiencing a tornado in in the heart of tornado alley.

Is there anything CP can't come up with?
