Default They're HERE!!! S&W order arrives! [LONG]


Looks like we sent it all
your way. Sorry about that.

I was out in my garden digging rose craters
when the S*** hit the fan so to speak.

Got a front seat view.
Here's how it panned out.

3:44 PM - Cloudy Sky, not much wind, Thuderstorms forcast
3:45 PM - Thunderstorm line identified. Forcasters Scrambling.
3:55 PM - Tornado alerts flash
4:00 PM - Tornado touches down
4:15 PM - Sky chopper shows demo'd houses.

Touch down was less than 2 miles away.

My neighbhor was also out on his yard.
We looked at each other ran inside to grab
camera, watched it blow by and returned to
gardening by 4:15. Too much wall cloud.

For some reason the storm ran due north for five miles
before it began its North east drift. It actually started
5 miles exactly due south east of me. Luck of the draw.

My lot has personally avoided the hail and tornadoes (the closest
twister was about 10 miles away), although the wind took a pretty
large cane on Aloha.
