Two tornadoes were cought on webcam near Ames Iowa yesterday. I've composed these images into an animated image. The originals can be viewed by changing the last numbers of the following URL

Speaking of tornados... it's been EXTREMELY windy by me since yesterday. I keep hearing things falling outside my house.

^Yeah, my basketball hoop actually fell over. Now we need a new backboard, cause that one now has a crack in it. :cry:

I watched part of the UIC flag on our flagpoles rip straight through yesterday. Those tornado shots are very scary. I can't believe they were caught on tape like that.

^ My brother goes to UIC, too. He wasn't there to see that though.

I just watched the videos, it looks cool, and of course scary at the same time.

We just lost power for a second. Earlier our TV also lost its sound, but it was only for about 20 seconds.

Sticks and leaves all over my yard, and the usual crap banging against the shed, but noting bad here.

Those webcam images are cool, but scary.
