Tornado Outbreak In Kansas

I don't know if I could handle living in the heart of tornado alley, let alone chasing them.
Here is our video of the EIlis Co., OK tornado…As I said, we were within 50 yards of this violent tornado!! We had to back up at the last second to avoid being hit by it (we were actually within the circulation!), and my cell phone fell out onto the road, and was hit by the tornado…it's probably still airborne. Meanwhile, a DAMAGING tornado moved through Greensburg, KS…VERY bad situation. Our friends Dick McGowan and Darin Brunin reported that the entire town of Greensburg was severely damaged. This is a very sad situation, as there were likely fatalities.
Tomorrow looks like an even more widespread outbreak, with even more intense kinematics.

I spent ten years living in tornado alley. It can be… exciting, to say the least. Personally, I'll take a hurricane over a tornado any day. At least with a hurricane there is warning and ample time to prepare for it's arrival. With a tornado? Not so much. In a lot of cases you are lucky to get a two minute warning to find cover. When living in the midwest there were lots of times I just didn't sleep at all until all storms passed.
