Didn't have any desire to see if it would bounce over to me. LOL
If you turn the volume in my video UP real high and listen closely, you can hear USWS say the tornado was near Chappell. I had no idea where the hell Chappell was till I stopped and looked on a map.

Yup, that doesn't surprise me a bit. We owened a house on the highway that ran through Chappell. After they closed Leprino Foods there we moved east, and couldn't sell the house. Always prayed for a selective touchdown just on that house! Paid two mortgage payments for four years.

I'll have to call my friend and see if their place survived. They are up on a hill there. No way would I live where they live.
