Tornados and Snow in April?!?

Okay what's the deil-o? One day it's Snow, then it's Hot, then…. Texas twisters..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
right in my own neighborhood. Wow….

All I can say is omg…I never thought I'd see a Tornado that up close and personal, however I did and woooooooooow it was adrenalin pumping and crazy, and soooo cool to see.
On Friday I high-tailed it over to my dad's house before the storm hit…

There I was sitting on my couch-thanking god it was Friday…and that I didn't have to work in the morning…
Then my brother calls, telling me to turn the channel to 8, because there were severe storms coming our way, as soon as I changed it…
My heart started pumping this huge wall cloud was within 10 - 20 minutes of us…
There it was on the screen tornado warning, take cover, Hail, high winds, you name it..

So I jumped up, turned off the heater and grabbed Roxie…I jumped in my car and decided to go to my Dad's house since he's just a few streets over…

I could see the dark clouds getting closer and closer in my rear view mirror, I felt Like I was in a huge race…It was a very creepy feeling it's almost as if you could just feel the charged energy in the air…

Once I got to my dad's house the dark clouds were right on top of us. So Of course my Brother and I wander outside to the front yard…

Yea we were those people who stand outside and gawk at the weather rather than taking cover from it….

But I must say if I had stayed inside I wouldn't have been able to see what I saw..

CJ and I are standing outside and I look up I can see this massive black cloud circling above us and on then you could see this light white softer cloud coming out of the bottom, I kept saying "CJ do you see that, what is that?" Well then all the sudden I hear a train, well it wasn't a train but it was the noise from the tornado, I screamed and ran for the house, I stopped before getting to yell at my brother, then as soon as I look back there it fucking is….

A Tornado just 3 streets over I could hear it, feel it and see it, You could see shingles and wood floating in the air in a funnel, it made my heart almost pop, I ran into the house, and felt this fear just consume me, my body was shaking, the electricity went out, no TV….

As soon as it was there it was gone, then we heard sirens, that were stopping really close to the house…

I was like CJ it hit right across the street because when the sirens would be going off, they'd get to our area and stop…
It was like something out of a movie…

Very freaky…

After the worst of the storm was over I ventured out, well my brother works at the taco Bell there at Beach, and he was supposed to go into work at 7:00, and since there was no electricity or signal to get out on a cell phone, we drove up there….


Josh was even closer than I was just across the street from Mynards.

It was freaking incredible, signs, shingles, tree branches, were everywhere.
Helicopters were just hovering over the area; police were everywhere, ambulances, and people just everywhere…

When the electricity came on later that night, and I watched the news and say the tornado that hit us…it was unbelievable…

I just couldn't believe it…


Anywho I'm at work tonight…till 11:00 then I have to be here at 7 in the morning…

Gawd…it sucks…
