Sam lives in town so he should be fine. I was south of town and watched it come in. Tried getting it on my in car camera but it was freaking pitch black dark so I dont know if it will show up.
Freakin scary is all I gotta say about that. I have never seen a wooden ceiling joist driven into the ground a foot. Wow what power. Homes just leveled to the foundation! It was a rough night and I am physically and emotionally drained. People running up to you asked where there famiy members are. Trying to make sense of direction with no street signs, address, stop signs, all wiped out. Searching houses for people, trying to make sure all the idiots arent driving over all the downed power lines. You couldnt get anywhere cause every road was impassible with downed lines, debris, trees. People were out with the backhoes, tractors, chainsaws trying to clear the roads so we could get through! A real mess! First time I ever saw I mobile home in the middle of a road before. Also found a hot water heater in the middle of no-where. Never figured out where it came from as it was no where near the path of the tornado????
I posted some pics on FB.
Thanks for checking!

Just heard from my dispatch it was an F2. And btw has anybody seen the stop signs? I am pretty sure they flew off into the next county somewhere!
Whew glad you two are ok I am assuming Sam is as he hasn't responded yet. Ya I bet you were working your ass off last nite Lawdog. Reason I asked if those guys were ok is we got hit pretty hard by some Tornadoes last nite the worst of it was way East of us though in Lake Township aka Millbury Ohio a Highschool got leveled as did the Police/EMS building there they were "supposed" to have had graduation today at the high school that got destroyed. Current count of people that have died related to the storms is at 5 last I knew. Link to Youtube for several videos on the damage sustained.
