There were times, though, when the wind had them almost completely sideways and I didn't see anything that looked too bad---the wind did sound like it would have taken off the side porch, though. I asked my dad and he said that he didn't see anything that looked like a funnel cloud...and you know he was watching the whole thing from the front row!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027105660999256483.post-78783674482921688782008-07-22T14:57:00.000-04:002008-07-22T14:57:00.000-04:00Heh...my story is not safe for work.

Did you all actually see anything? Once mom saw a picture on the news that someone took of a funnel cloud over Turfway, she thinks she saw that cloud out the back window and was wondering if that could be what it was right around the time I called. Good to know she was looking out the window while the warning siren was going off.<BR/><BR/>Rob, you MUST tell that story. <BR/><BR/>With a full day now to think about it, and with the NWS ruling that no tornado actually touched ground in Erlanger, I feel stupid for getting so worked up. We hear the storm siren quite a bit in the spring and summer around here but I've never heard a tornado warning for our city before. I used to think I wanted to see a tornado some day; now I'm not so sure.Library Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598292542165692366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027105660999256483.post-75717973198642278092008-07-21T16:56:00.000-04:002008-07-21T16:56:00.000-04:00Scary stuff.

Although the tornado on May 3, 1999 was responsible for my wife and me getting together, so I can't say nothing good has ever come of one. :)Robert K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01018504659598095947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027105660999256483.post-18852819075173128052008-07-21T13:15:00.000-04:002008-07-21T13:15:00.000-04:00The horrorrrrrrrrr....(in my best Heart of Darknes...The horrorrrrrrrrr....(in my best Heart of Darkness impression)<BR/><BR/>We were at mom/dad's for mom's birthday dinner and it was a little frightening. I am not one to be too scared by storms but this one had me a little on edge. You know my dad is one that LOVES a good thunderstorm so he decided to sit on the porch and watch it happen--not very bright but I guess he was in the mood for adventure. When we heard the "tornado warning" announcement, I went out to tell him before thinking about our safe place and he just nodded and gave me a "yep, could be"! WTF??? Since we didn't have a basement either, we were looking at about 10 of us in the tiny bathroom, the only room without windows!!!!! Mom got Betty Lou in there with the boys and everyone else was on standby....anyway, Aidan was terrified only because he knew Pea was home alone and the pictures on the TV were showing that huge cloud with about 10 tails on it right over the Levy! He was worried that the dog would get hurt.......not that we were facing being crammed into the tub with all 10 of us, a mattress on our heads, and maybe losing the roof....but the dog. God love him...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
