I almost forgot, In 2010 on todays date April 10th a little after 6:30pm A Tornado lifted a few hundred yards from my house then tried to land again about 50 yards from house it wimped out and storm continued north east and was able to drop to the ground briefly a few miles away. It was rated an EF3 but by the time it got this far it was an EF 1 or less.
