Vertigo Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Oh yeah it's that time of year again... what fun times it is to live in Tornado Alley. Had a tornado touch down about 2 miles directly south of my house last night. Typically when the sirens go off we head for the basement. Well we had a bunch of friends over that day/evening and had been drinking since noon... Take a bunch of rowdy people + alcohol+confirmed tornado nearby = bunch of drunks out in the front yard scanning the skies. These pics are from a nearby farm that got hit. No damage to this guy's house but all of his five of his out buildings were destroyed (one was only 40 feet from his home). No deaths were reported thankfully.
snoopyeast Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Vance was spared last night, but there was a tornado that did some damage in the north part of Enid.
The Kayla Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I'm glad that NH doesn't have Tornados... We're in another Tornado watch till 7:45pm tonight.

The Kayla Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Is that you Kayla, taking a picture??? (Sorry, I keed!) Nope, I was at a different party
BQZip01 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Nope, I was at a different party On a related topic, Barksdale AFB was hit by a tornado the Thursday before Good Friday. Took out the golf course, so PT tests for the Air Force personnel are out for a few weeks as we cannot accurately measure drive distances...

RangerMateo Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I'm glad that NH doesn't have Tornados... We're in another Tornado watch till 7:45pm tonight. The 33rd DO or SQ/CC's house (Can't remember if he moved to the CC office or not) was hit last night at VN. They're trying to sell, so bad timing. Keep them in your prayers, everyone was okay.

They will definitly be in my thoughts!

The Kayla Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) That it was. I couldn't remember if he was still in the DO office or not. He took over after Firestein last July. The new DO is a Navy guy. Edited April 27, 2009 by The Kayla
Guest Form 8 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Darwin at work? If it would only hit Altus...
The Kayla Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 If it would only hit Altus... Hey now! My husband and a lot of our friends are currently at Altus! I might be an odd ball, but I actually like being married!
zrooster99 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Hey, I'm currently at altus. I say, hit Altus, as long as it spares all of us...and the Holiday Inn :)
Butters Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Hey, I'm currently at altus. I say, hit Altus, as long as it spares all of us...and the Holiday Inn :) and Scooters
Scooter14 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I'm glad that NH doesn't have Tornados... We're in another Tornado watch till 7:45pm tonight. We had one last summer...tore through the town of Epsom, just south of Concord. Sorry to rain on your parade, pun intended. They are just more infrequent and usually less powerful, but every now and then, we get one. NH Tornado CT Tornado This one happened when I was in first grade, about 10 miles from my house. Wicked bad.
