that I've been gone for a week.
Well Sunday night (12th) I was watching the new Family Guy when the station goes out. It was around 8:15 or so, we had a tornado warning earlier that evening. So I turn my computer off and go upstairs to see what my dad was watching. A big (W) was on the top right of the tv so he turned to the weather channel and we noticed a huge storm cell heading right for us.
the next thing we know the power goes out so I go get my dad a flash light and I grab my own. The loud ass sirens are going off and we knew something was coming. It is windy as fuck outside and raining sideways. It was starting to get louder and louder untill the infamous freight train sound was right over head and my dad and I just stayed upstairs being the curious idiots that we are.
We realize that a tornado just went over our house when it starts to quiet down and then the freight train goes overhead again, not sure if it was the second tornado or if we were in the eye of the tornado (cue megadeth)
We end up going outside to check and see if the house was ok and we realize the pure destruction. Trees down all over the damn place, shingles, branches, a huge Rob Blagojevich sign from about 300 yards away was laying in our backyard, the area of the street where my brother usually parks had a tree laying across the entire street and his car would have been gone if he wasnt at his girlfriends house.
My dad and I walk down the street to see giant trees uprooted and laying on houses, cars, covering the street and such. It was like the Hulk rolled through.
We end up not having power for 4 full days and the cable just came on at midnight monday morning. Played D&D by candle light, the rest of the time was boring as fuck. Some parts of Springfield still dont have power, this city was destroyed! Two F2 tornados, one was a half-mile wide and the other was 300 yards wide.
