Son Of Beach Thank you for sharing this. It brought shivers down my spine. I have been through a couple of tornados and some straight line winds. Weather, especially tornados fascinate me.

There is even footage of it progressing downtown. Pretty sure it was an afternoon event from what I read... Yo Chad ! The Kalamazoo event it was in the afternoon A Tuesday afternoon. I knew a city inspector who told of incredible stories. A 2 story house lifted from it foundation, turned 90 degrees, and set back down on the foundation. Well that what I was told Plus There were warnings all week long I was working in cabinet shop in White Pigeon They sent us home early (about twoish) because of the threat I was living in the Three River/ Constantine area at the time So a fairly good distance 10 or so miles Being from Phoenix and not having much experience with Tornado’s They told to drive into a ditch if I see one no problem ! I’ve never gotten out since ha ha It was early that Saturday morning was when the sirens went off at the rural house i was staying in. That when the basement event occurred. It was an experience! Lots of storming outside. Then that Saturday morn is when I went for the drive and saw all the huge trees uprooted. About 8 of them, Huge oak trees yanked out of the ground with huge holes. It was quite a site!. In 1989 I lived in Aurora , Colorado One afternoon we had the siren go off there also I went outside and saw the dark force forming Luckily it didn’t touch down... |

I already posted a video on this same tornado (March 31, IOWA) , but I forgot about this footage which is just as ridiculous. Took a little clip from the video where he shared his footage where he admitted he was WAY TOO CLOSE and used it as a tool for others not to make the same mistake. Ridiculous visuals thou.... |
