I will snap a few tomorrow. I got my duct tape/plastic windshield on, but the back seat of my car is covered in broken glass. That may have been the scariest thing I have ever been involved in.

I picked the right day to not go to the gym, I usually am hitting up Sheetz for a grilled chicken dinner salad about the time this thing touched down. Seeing pics on facebook it looked pretty nasty.

Yeah, it was the craziest thing that I have ever seen. I was completely helpless and my car was rocking up and down....I am still shaking.

If you remove the vibrator from somewhere inside your body you should stop feeling those vibrations.

Glad you made out okay though, had to have been scary.

That sucks but its still pretty cool in a way. If I would have had time I would have chased that storm down in your area.

It was a rush for sure. I have never seen anything like it...the debris was crazy...I literally could not see anything else.

Its definitely a rush when you see what they can do. I like to admire them from afar if I get the chance. The sky where I was earlier was a freaky yellowish color you could easily tell something was happening just over the hill.

Sorry for your stressful situation and the damage to your car... I saw the Tornado myself... First time I have seen one... hope it is the last. I saw debris flying in the air everywhere, and that "roaring train" sound that everyone always mentions... yea it is real. Fortunately as it was coming towards us... it must have "hopped" back up in the air from the hill near the park. Very, very, thankful!!

Any official word yet on the scale of the tornado? How long does that usually take to figure out?

Damage survey wil be tomorrow by the NWS but I'd say EF1 maybe low end EF2 damage.

Sooooo... if you were in the "Hog Heaven area" does that mean you were at the porn shop :) Hence, the rocking up and down...

Seriously, I am glad we are both safe.
