How is the weather in "your neck of the woods"?
Here in Enid, Oklahoma we had a severe thunderstorm with rain, hail, and with most Oklahoma storms, lots and lots of wind, recorded winds were 65 to 73 mph! A few miles west in nearby wordward county they had a tornado tuch down in the country side! Luckily no one was hurt.
Here is a video from a tornado on August 24, 2006 shot from the news nine helicopter.
