I didn't take any of these pictures. I didn't want to go outside again. I was outside tossing my neighbor's garbage into the alley dumpster probably as the tornado passed just a few blocks away at Highway 35, ha ha. All it was doing was raining at the time where I was, so I went really fast but still got a little wet. It had been raining all day long, and was a very yucky day, but was a very unusual tornado day. The sirens went off after I got back in. I turned on the radio to hear the weather, wondering why they would go off, thinking it very dumb (what do I know about weather, right?). I think the sirens were a bit late. It seems it was the eyewitnesses spotting the unexpected tornado downtown. It would have passed me by, by then.
