Tornado at work

rebelyell · 08-12-2007, 01:00 AM

I was going to my car at 7 PM on friday. I was at the front doors of the entrance and I saw the edge of it. It pulled all the big doors open and could barely hang on to it. Then I heard the train sound and the wind was just crazy sounding. I could feel the pressure dropping and then stuff went flying in the parking lot. I saw a 40 ft high gutter fly through the air then I heard a big whush and some more banging and it was gone. Called my wife at home, I live 4 miles from work to make sure everything was ok. She went out and saw this, and got it on video. same time almost as it was happening. It snapped some pine trees at work and did some roof damage. I have no doubt it was a small tornado. There were warnings and watches all day here.

I think I went throught one two months ago on the road. It is crazy when you see things swirling in a circle.

Nope, thank god.. That was one of the things I was worried about, after it was gone. while it was happening I was too busy saying OMFG look at this. If I had been 1 min or 2 earlier going to my car I would have gotten whooped..
