Last night there was a tornado warning

I was watching a replay of the heat game...weather alert came on... a tornadic thunderstorm was about 20 minutes from me.

I live on 34th and coulter in amarillo texas.

The storm was said to be headed to i40 and coulter... about a mile from me with baseball size hail and high winds.

I got the chick, the camaro keys and hauled ass, went about 90 down the interstate, there were several other people taking the same route.

About 3 miles down the road it was reported there was a tornado at 45th and soncy, less than a mile from my apartment.

I returned home 2 hours later, my car barely saw any sprinkles... but there was hail everywhere and leaves also.

We had a tornado last night also, just a few miles south and another that the funnel cloud passed right over my apartment and touched down like 3 miles away.

Yeah i heard it ripped apart Goodrich pretty well, I'm from Davison. I'm guessing thats the one you are refering to.

Tornados are nothing to mess with and it appears they are on the rampage this year.
