Looks like I am very lucky to be alive today. Last Thursday we had a hail storm from about 8pm till 9pm, so knowing the prevailing weather pattern I took the long way from home into work. Lucky me, for about 5 minutes after leaving mom called me on the cell phone to report that the power went out where we live. Anyway, to make a long story short, we ran the time line back from the news story (which no one here received due to the power being knocked out) but our farmer who lives several miles away and had power at the time did recieve. Apparently there was a tornado that went right down a road I normally use to go to work. Took a close look at the road today when I went in to get my teeth fixed, it took out a cinder block building roof and all, also a telephone pole right next to the road was completely twisted off and broken. The former tells the strength of the twister, the second with the first one tells how big it was, approximately 1/4 of a mile in diameter, and the report from mom's farmer about the time as well as the house guest I have staying her (he told me he heard something like in the movie Twister) all coinciding to be right after 9pm, about the time I would have been driving on that road. Guess I lucked out again.
