Tornado

In my 11 years of living in Fort Collins I have never been so nervous as I was today. A mile wide tornado touched down east of here, and went through the small town of Windsor, where I used to live with my friends Christine and Brian. It was moving quickly at 35 mph and was headed straight for Fort Collins. The weather was crazy...wind, then hail, then sun, then rain, then wind, then sun, then hail...you get the drift. We dont have a basement so my alternative is to go down into our creepy crawl space for cover, which believe me I would have thrown the cat and the dog down there with me! Luckily I didnt have to do that, we just got the weather, Windsor was hit the worst. Christine and Brian and all their animals are fine, and only minor damage to their house from the wind. I have never been in a tornado, or really even close to being in one, and believe me I do not want to be that close again! (that top picture is I-25, the bottom is my creepy crawl space)
