It's wacky.
Funny, as I was watching the video my cousing asked me if I was okay via MSN messenger.
Last year, Pittsburgh actually got nailed with one right at the three rivers point. It was insane. Garbage cans were flying EVERYWHERE.
that thing looks massive!!
Just saw that.
We had a tornado when I was living in Flagstaff around '97. Just as odd as one in CO.
Golfball... sized... hail...? :o I'd hate to drive through that let alone ride through it. I bet hail that size could seriously hurt a person.
I had to drive through the southern part of that storm earlier today.
Hit some marble sized hail. Sounded really nasty bouncing off the car :o :o :o
Saw a few cyclists running for cover...that would have really sucked.
Its been a bad year for storms so far. I'm getting a lot of OT for it too...
I've worked power resoration for three Tornado's so far.
-Downtown Atlanta (Feb)
-Macon, GA (Last week)
-Holly Springs, GA (Tuesday)
However, having two weeks in a row now where I've had to stay awake and work 48+ hours is starting to suck. Nothing like work from 6am Tuesday to 10pm Thursday... I'm tired.. lol.
Georgia gets a good amount, just the frequenecy seems up from years past. It has been this bad in about 10 years.

Try baseball sized hail...insane. 1 mile wide, total devastation for a farming town of 16,000. With a tornado that size it's amazing that there wasn't more than the 1 fatality.

Crazy weather all over the place. Here, it was over 100 monday night at this time. Right now, it's 59!

Uh oh..did the Matrix get some dents??
The s/o asked if the tornado was near your place.
I told her I doubted it but sh*t..you were!!
:-[
I was in a Camry at the time. No dents [thumbsup]
The storm stayed north of Denver, but hit a couple communities up there really hard.

Good thing too, I was on my bike yesterday! That woulda sucked a bit.
Feel terrible for those people up in Windsor, but I suppose it could've been a whole lot worse.
