Tornado!

[ChemicalWarrior]

Today was rather interesting for me.

Around 5:30PM a small tornado (F1 I believe was the official word) went through a portion of where I live. It did not touch ground, but went a little bit above a lot of the wood around here, than hit my neighborhood and another one that it really hit hard.

The trailer that I live in is okay for the most part. Right now the skirting that goes around it is completely gone, its slightly off level on the last set of support bricks, and one anchor is ripped out of the ground.

During it the trailer did feel like it was almost picked up and I felt it slightly tip over. Very scary event to say the least. Me, my sister, dad, and a friend of the family were here at the time.

Here's some picture of the damage it caused. A rather clear path, it hit four other trailers dead on too, none completely destoryed, but one has all of its roof gone, and another has two sections ripped off, and the front is fairly smashed up.

Sorry, some of these are rather blury, it was raining still, police and fire department where here, and lots of people mainly in shock.

No one was hurt during it. Just scared us all. We have a large hole in my sisters room from when a board went straight into it, we'll need to have the whole trailer reseated now also. My neighbor to the right of me is in total shock, she lives alone and her prized car is ruined, and a lot of the stuff in her home is ruined because of the heavy rain and the two holes in the roof. A neighbor across street's roof is totally gone. They lost pretty much everything due to very heavy rain.

I think we all got lucky though, it could have been a lot worse.
