We were close to being in a tornado about 2 months ago. We were in Ardmore Ok eating at a restaurant when just 5 miles to our west the little community of Lone Grove was being destroyed. It could have been us just as easily.

Let me guess. You have an annoying stalker who reads everything you post, and you wanted to waste some of his time? I want my six minutes back.

I’m confused. Is this your Myspace page? Did you film it? Did someone else film it? What happened when the camera went off? Was the house blown down? Was anyone hurt?

Everybody with a camera thinks they’re a film maker. Only a few are, and this guy isn’t one of those few.

The thing is, all it really takes is the skill to be able to communicate a story in an appealing manner. This guy doesn’t have that skill at all.

We just need to wait for a lawyer to stumble into the trap. Then we’ll be set for life.

No, but I saw 6 in one day in 1976 in C. Iowa. Saw what one did to a solid Oak 8 x 8 beam(snapped it like a toothpick)!!! WOW!

I was directly underneath a tornado in 1999.
It passed over my house at around 22:00.
I would not have seen it except for the lightning.
It didn’t touch down,
but it peeled the shingles off my roof like paper.
I watched 100 lb. objects
floating through the air like feathers.
It lasted about 1 minute, but seemed longer.

Thanks for that link. I was just a few block from that area yesterday with six of my children. We were working in a church, and my wife told me over the phone it was looking bad and we ought to leave.

I was home before we heard how bad it was. That was a nearly new subdivision, right across from the car dealership, that was trashed. We just saw a house there listed on a Realtor’s website yesterday. I’ll bet it’s half off today.

Yes..in 2006. Took our house and everything we owned. I was raised in oklahoma...had tornado’s all around us most of my life. It wasn’t until I moved to minnesota that one finally got me.

What is it you want to know?

That guy’s a moron. He wasn’t in the vortex, or he would have been swept up and awayyyy.

He needs to get a job. Those of us who have really been in twisters want no part of them.

I have some respect for scientists who want to get wind readings, etc., so they can help people avoid being victims.

But as I say, the “Associate Chaser” on the video is a moron who needs to get a life.
