| Mini Tornado 3 miles from my house We had a storm roll through late this afternoon and we lost power for the last 2 hours. Our local news center is reporting a small tornado touched down 3 miles from our house and collapsed 2 buildings, injuring 3 people. I think I'm going to need a Thundershirt like Teddy.

| I know the feeling. Once came right over my house or awfully near last spring but didn't touch down as it passed! I was a wreck for a couple of days after. Have some wine or a 1/2 a Valium and try to kick back. Thank goodness it didn't get your home!

| I hate these horrible storms. So many are still without power from the bad one last week. We had one tear through here on Thursday..it scared me to death. The winds were over 60mph and it tore shingles off our house. I am so glad you and the guys are ok.

I took the boys to our office park to walk and half the town is still without power. It was definitely a twister. Trees were snapped in two, shopping carts were thrown around, things ripped up and blown everywhere.

| We do not have a basement , and there was no warning. It wasn't that bad at our house, thankfully. Hopefully the storm systems headed our way tonight won't be as bad.

| We went to see the damage last night -- the young cheerleaders and their coaches and parents who were in the building that was smashed are very lucky to be alive. Seven people were injured. Officials are not sure if it was a tornado or microburst. Either way, very scary.
