Another Eyewitness Account of the Twister

|

From a Catholic FrontBurnervian:

My son and I were right there yesterday on the way home from Cistercian. Saw the tornado that the Baumbach fellow wrote about, watched it cross the Trinity river bottom as a waterspout. Then saw several other funnel clouds pop out of the sky, drop to the ground, then go back up. It was one of the most thrilling experiences I can remember (I was a HUGE tornado/weather dork growing up). Those were the first tornadoes I had ever seen live and in the flesh, so to speak. Alas, my son and I were too concerned with hauling ass and getting out of the storm’s way to snap any photos. Now I think I’m gonna have to plan a spring break tornado hunting vacation up in Oklahoma. Since no one died from this tornado, I can say without feeling guilty. That was totally kickass.
