OMG!

The town of Stanton/Pilger NE just got hit by twin tornadoes a few minutes ago and from the sound of the reports, it's almost wiped off the map! The photos look like it/they were an F4! =(

Btw, that's more than a 2 -and 1/2 hr drive north-east of here so no, not close by. Still storms in the area though.

I think there is live coverage on CNN but since I don't have tv I can't tell for sure.

They have even just shown a clip of a couple of them on the BBC news - scary.

I'm glad to know that they are that far from both you and my friend enigmaticblues.

Oh wow. So it made international news as well? There are more reports coming in now that it's daylight and it is about as bad as it gets. :(

Good grief! Those poor people!

It's awful, just awful! :(

Have you got a cellar you can go into with the furkids?

I just read about it - so awful. I hope you remain safe.

I just read this morning that there were two deaths because of this dual tornado, one a five-year-old. Such a tragedy!
