My parents live in southwest Missouri and this time the tornado hit about a half mile from their house. That's just a little too close for comfort. And, from what I have heard on the weather channel that tornado has been classified as an f4, about a mile wide. Scary stuff.
Mom and dad got lucky and the only damage they sustained was one down tree and a few branches. Some of their very close neighbors weren't so lucky.
This guy was trying to get his car a little protection from the golf ball sized hail. Guess that didn't work, but he's ok.
These people lost 47 trees in a storm 5 years ago and now the remainder are gone. But their house is still standing, which is actually saying a lot considering two of their immediate neighbors lost their homes.

PS - Would you believe that I am still sick?! Please tell me that the coughing will end soon and I will once again feel alive, cuz right now I feel like Picher Oklahoma.
