THIS is a storm

Here is incredible news coverage from the tornado that hit Manhattan, KS. From the 3 minute mark, it gets quite intense. Then you can read about my niece's encounter with the tornado from the link below. You can scroll down to the bottom of the bglog to turn the music off before you start the video if you want.

Take a look at Jana's tornado encounter. In true family fashion she stayed cool and calm. We don't get too shook about weather situations...except for my mom that is. Anyway, Jana even tried to lie a little to the girls to keep them calm. That is a mark of a good teacher! ;) In true tornado fashion, it skipped around on campus hitting and missing- thankfully missing the dorm they were in. But Jana...could you hear it?

Honestly, no, I didn't hear that "freight train" sound every tornado survivor encounters. We heard what we thought was crazy-loud thunder, but being cramped in a hallway with tons of cheerleaders and band-campers really drowned out any other sounds. This news video clip is crazy! The camera is anchored on one of the buildings at KSU and the storm passes right over it and then goes out. Most of the cheerleader parents were watching this happen at home...imagine how scared they were for their daughters when that camera went out!!!
