Seraph said:A tornado just narrowly missed the house. Scary as ****. There's a second coming towards us and more dangereous storms behind that.
Seraph said:Been a hell of a night. Three tornados almost hit us. One of the cities over received heavy damage and towns South of us had fatalities. We're on our sixth or seventh tornado warning and there's no end in sight. I'm so over the weather.
