Did somoene say Tornado?
A tornado touched down about 5 minutes from our house today! Plus we had golf ball sized hail! It chipped paint off the front of our mini van! Plus my poor poor flowers look all banged up!You can read about it here: http://www.silive.com/newsflash/metro/index.ssf?/base/news-18/1151702657180210.xml&storylist=simetro
Right before it was here.....the temp dropped from 78 to 56 in a few minutes!
It doesn't say anything about how it hovered over a restaurant down the street and took off tops of the trees and their sign off the building. Plus the hospice behind the business park, in that area, had a lot of damage to the area. They had tons of ambulances and fire trucks in there. Traffic was backed up in front of my house for hours afterwards.
It rained so much the solar cover on our pool is flooded into the pool and our pool is over flowing. The hail was crazy! First it came down kinda small. Then about 10 mintes later it was huge! We had windows open and it was so loud we were yelling to each other from the noise of it hitting the opened crank windows and air conditioners. Lauren and Kaila were laughing nervously at the really loud thunder and bolts of lightening.

OMG- That sounds crazy! I'm glad it didn't hit your house. That is one of the things I don't miss since I moved to NC. We use to get them all the time in IN.
