Well had lots of excitement tonight while my parents were gone to church after i got home from work. Turned on the TV and it said torando warning for my county and the ones surounding it. I'm like when did this start. So i look out the widnow to the south past the TV and the there is a tornado spinning around im like shiet. So i quick grabbed a radio and my cell phone and headed for teh basement. Im down there for 5 minutes when i heard on the radio that it was 20 miles away. I heard reports that it was 1/2 a mile wide. Then and up stairs for 10 minutes when it looks like something is burning to the south again adn then the smoke seemed to get taller adn narrower so i go out on the porch to look. Look up and there is a funnel cloud spinning away and the clouds seem to just get sucked into them things. Then it came down and well i tired to take a picture but the camera was dead. All of a sudden that thing got black and came down and looked like it was headed strait for me so i headed down stairs again. Come back up in like 5 minutes adn there is no sight of it. Turns out that it touched down 2 miles south of me and followed the black top for a little while luckily it didn't do any damage casue town is only a 1/4 mile away. It looked the same size from 2 miles away as the one 20 miles away. Definately the scariest thing i have ever seen.
