I've retouched the pic to lighten it up a bit. You can see the cloud nearly extends all the way to the ground. I watched as it approached at over 40 mph. Watched, that is until we received an automated phone message from the National weather Service telling us to hunker down in an interior room and place a mattress over us. Two tornadoes did touch down, but they were in towns on either side of us. We were hit by straight-line winds of 60mph and two sections of our fence blew over. Other than that, we came through Scot-free. Thanks Ma!
