Hopped over house (live to the right of farther intersection).
Pic from the web. The old lady drove the same road as pic and turned at the light (was on way home from store), ducked into the school (tunnel a tornado shelter).

F3 I guess, main path about 100 yds north of me, maybe a 200 yard swatch of tree, roof damage in my hood.

Got lower, did worse about a mile east.

I watched it from the gunshop on the highway (where it flattened a Starbucks). Didn't see that, too far away, but saw debris so though it was closer. Nope, musta been a big chunk o' roof.

3 yrs ago I was blinded by grey rain..........that tornado smaller, hit the bank 200 yds behind my truck.

10+ yrs ago watched one from a restaurant, hit the roller rink down the block.

Did not see the funnel like in the pic (due to buildings and tees). Have yet to visual a "classic" tornado form.

The ol lady said she saw it, was always watching the Weather Channel, about tornados. Now that she's see this one, she has zero interest in watching shows about them anymore.

Scared her pretty good.
