Tornado Outbreak In Nebraska,Iowa & Texas

We were under a tornado warning today, and my kids' boss actually called and told them not to come to work. The wife, kids, and In-laws all went into the shelter, but I stayed outside and never saw anything concerning.

It's amazing to me how selective a tornado can be. There was a small one about 15 miles away from the house, but we didn't even get rain today. Watching the radar, the storm just split before it got to us.

 

The omaha area hasn't had a significant tornado since 1975 so we were long overdue .

 

I think it was '97 or '98 that Jarrell, TX got hammered by an F5. Waco got hit pretty hard sometime in the '50's.

Me and Pop out ran one twenty years ago in an old square body Chevy. We were in a camper and decided that wasn't the place to be. Came back after the storm and our windmill was gone, the water trough was in the coastal patch, one barn was laying on the ground. But that camper was still standing.

 

This will become more commen as omaha continues its sprawl west , we already arnt far from Lincoln being an omaha suburb .

 

Can never say never ...one Saturday afternoon I was sitting at the bronx market chilling out until Monday morning when a tornado hit not far away in Massapequa....blew and hailed like hell in the bronx too.
