I'll be heading over for storm chasing, but not for 2 or 3 years :rolleyes:

Fun. I was right in the middle of this last year...

Stoughton is just a couple of miles away from me. I didn't actually see a tornado, but the clouds and hail were incredible. Spent most of the time hiding down in the basement

We haven't had a really big one here for a few years - the last F5 was in 1996. Most of the ones in Wisconsin are "only" F1-F3 range, with the odd big sod thrown in every so often.

I'm between Madison and Huntsville at the moment and the sirens have just gone off \o/

Clearly I should go find a hot Southern girl to hide with.

Pfft @ golf ball sized hail, softball size hail is where it's at

My poor 30 sec avi about 2mins after a tornado had gone past. Just loud rain and some lightening flashes.

That is all i remember when i was in the US (Orlando) it would always rain for an hour daily, and you could see the massive forks of lighting.

It was still roasting hot too

I had an email from a friend in Chattanooga during the night, she says that it is 'a bit windy' but they shouldn't get much, if any, of the tornado.

I was in the middle of hurricane charlie 2 years ago in orlando! Was awesome!
