Crikey - a tornado has just come through my town!
Discussion
Bloody hell. For those who don't know, I live in Iowa (tornado country, about 20 miles away from where they filmed Twister) and moved here from nice safe rural South Oxfordshire.
Half an hour ago it was 4.45 local time and I was surfing PH before getting ready to go out to a poker night.
It's been a bit blowy all day, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Then the tornado sirens start howling......
Then this:
Apologies about the light quality, it all went rather strange.
It just formed sooo quickly and skirted around the edge of town over what I think were fields. Mrs Star was chucking a mental and running in and out of the bathroom saying I should stop being a damned fool and get in off the balcony.
First one we'd seen - WOW!
The sirens are still going....
