For those that live a ways away from me...
over Memorial Day weekend...Sunday afternoon/evening to be exact, we had
and EF5 tornado go through the town of Parkersburg. Parkersburg is about 40 minutes or so from where I live...
I think I commented or posted a bulletin earlier about me riding my bike through hail that weekend....well that was the same storm that produced the tornado, fortunately our tent was out of its path.
This storm popped up out of nowhere...I was home checking the dog and the radar for rain (as we were camping and I was on my bike) ...I didn't see anything...thought the sun was going to be out the rest of the day.
The sun was out in Latimer and I drove 9 miles or less to our campground...by the time I got there the sky was dark and before too long it started to rain and hail...I was held up in a shelter house with my bike for 20 minutes or so before I made it back to Latimer...sun was out again and all was well. At least for us.
I've got some aftermath pictures in my Parkersburg album that have been circulating through emails and such here lately.
