It's heading right for us.

If I'm okay, I'll try to message all of you before the day is out, if not, check the news for the name Tyler Jones over the next few days.

I love you all very much. If anything happens to me, please try to remember me.

I don't have time to message all my other troper friends, but I hope they see this.

Once again, I love you all very much. There have been times where the people I've met on this site have saved my life. Sadly, I don't think this will be one of those times.

God, please pray for me and my family.

I hope you make it okay.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

Have you a cellar?

Don't bother answering. Find shelter.

You'll probably be okay. Small tornadoes usually break up over that amount of distance, and if you're in a city or metro area, the increased heat usually make them change course and miss you. Just don't panic and do something stupid, and you'll be fine.

If you can't get underground, the safest place is in the boughs of a big tree.

[up] Erm, no. The second safest place is in an internal room with no windows.

So, board up your windows, have a satellite or underground cable connection handy and Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud.

Okay, so far, it has passed over us.

Aside from a bad rainstorm and nickle sized hail, we're fine. I think all of my family and friends are fine, too.

Thank God.

[up][up][up][up] Yes. I'm sure. I grew up in an area that had dozens of tornado warnings throughout the year.

Lovely to hear Tidal! Any clue as to where it is presently heading?

So, have you ever been hit by a tornado before? I remember watching the movie twister when I was a little kid and thinking it would be awesome to see one in real life.

^^ That's the same storm that gave us hurricane force winds the other day in Colorado.

^ It's awesome alright, until it gets too close or you hear the sirens go off, then you run like mad to the basement or somewhere sturdy.

We came really close to being hit by one maybe two years ago, and we had a hailstorm with baseball sized chunks of ice hit us when I was about 14.

Indeed. So far I have only experienced earthquakes and hurricanes, but no tornadoes.

There were tornadoes around where I was last year, but not this early in the year. Well, snow is coming so hopefully that will be the end of them.
