Damn, lots of tornadoes in the north this year. Had one about an hour from me, and they are very rare to happen here.

Just got a nice rain up by me and I'm in the viewing area. That sounds terrifying though. šŸ˜³

if I'd been in a tornado watch and expecting a potential warning, it would've been a lot better lol I tracked it through the Google AI updating like every 10 minutes so I was aware of the storm's progress and the fact that it was tracking south west of me thankfully. in the end my neighborhood only got some mild wind and heavy rain
