Did anybody see the tornado that went through DE on Tuesday besides me :?: it was about 600 to 900 yards from my drive way :shock:
took out banning park and neighborhoods in the area. I could see the funnel cloud sucking other clouds in from both sides at tremendous speed :!: my wife ran to the basement... :!: but once you have ridden a X, I could do nothing but watch it move across in front of me :D :shock:
I'll never forget it as long as I live :shock: Mother nature is on awesome lady and never to be underestimated or taken for granted. Boy do I wish I had my camera. This thing ripped 3ft tree trunks like toothpicks and tossed them around like Lincoln logs .One guy I was talking to showed me his new Doge truck ..with a 4 inch branch no sh&t the little branch was straight through his windshield :shock:
coolest thing he ever saw he said :!:

Terry,

I saw the aftermath in DE on the TV news. I'm glad that you're OK. I saw the small tornado that went through my town a few years ago. Not easy to forget.

Chris...Are you OK, too?

Just got rain and wind at my house in Elsmere.
