My prayers are with you. Growing up in tornado alley. You never think it will happen to you. Damage it does emotionally is horrible, let alone physically.
I couldn't believe the devastation I saw on the news last night - and this was a relatively minor tornado. I've never heard of a tornado in Western WA before!
I work in Vancouver -- we're all ok. We don't get tornadoes here! The last one was in 1972. We left to go to lunch about 12:20 and when we got to the restaurant the lights flickered. Then the waitress turned on the TV and said we've had a tornado. No warnings from the weather service or anything. At first they thought it had hit about 5 blocks from where I work. But it hit at a very busy intersection in Hazel Dell and went for 2 miles. Thank God the injuries were very minor and no one was killed.
My car broke down on the freeway yesterday. I had it towed to the Dodge dealer. They were right in the middle of where the tornado hit. I still can't get ahold of them to see what's going on with my car. Fortunately the dealership only had minor damage to their roof.
TORNADO IN VANCOUVER, WA.
