So i just had a nice funnel cloud pass over my house, touch down about 2 miles away, and we got some nice hail! I've got to call my insurance agent tomorrow to check my roof. I'm sure there are some split shingles.

This photo is from my sister, looking west, while saw the same thing, but looking east. She is about 5 miles away from me.

wow, imagine how big those things started out at.
Holy ****...and I thought I was getting away from the tornadoes and hail.
:eek: I like California more and more every day .... earthquakes are far and few between.
I'm glad you are ok.

:eek:
Wow...
That's more than the size of a table tennis ball... Split shingles... Imagine getting that one on your head. You won't have to worry about shingles ever again.
And luckily they fell down? I could imagine if they came in at an angle, they'd no doubt smash up some windows.
I hope it didn't do too much damage to your property. Cheers.
Thats some crazy stuff. I live in the west and we dont see anything like that. all we get are earthquakes.
the good thing about tornados are that you (a) have (in most incidences) a few minutes warning and (b) can go underground to get away from them. Earthquakes on the other hand (afaik) give no warning and there is no escaping them. Glad you're safe.
QO,hate to hear you've left the state,was hoping we could get all of us Okies together one of these days.
What's funny is a lot of people out here have been kind of freaking out over the thunderstorms and tornadoes. Like you say, at least with tornadoes you've got time to run and take cover. And thunderstorms...meh, they're loud, but otherwise who cares?
I would have loved to have an okie get together with everyone. I wish my schedule hadn't been such a pain to work with, otherwise I wouldn't have had any problems.
We had the same size hailstones during a thunderstorm the other day in Kansas City, as far as I know there were no twisters.
You've exported the tornados!
Now we're having them, LOL

That's an amazing picture of the tornado, I've never seen a tornado :( but a week ago me and my friends drove my car up on a hill to watch the most intense thunder storm I've ever seen, my car got struck :p I later found out 2 people died in the thunder storm, but it was an awesome show.
