Springfield, MA. Two days ago. Got a phone call from somebody about a mile towards downtown FRANTIC that a tornado had just gone by his house headed towards where I was. I'm like "Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?????" and go outside... This is what I saw.


<object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8xcR3j_t_do?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8xcR3j_t_do?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="349" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Couldn't look away though...

<object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5ybIidtG9c?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5ybIidtG9c?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="349" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

And before you even say it... Yes, my friend is an idiot. No, it didn't hit the house but it came close... Very close once it made the turn towards us.

I have a shitload of pics and video from the damage, if you guys want to see em let me know. I'm too tired to do it without someone asking me to lol...

In the process of climbing around the back streets to see if everybody was ok, I found Walt... Chilling with his feet up outside his DESTROYED house next to his totaled Jeep without a care in the world, smoking a stogie and drinking a cold one. One thing is for sure- WALT IS A FKN BOSS!

We were freaking out a bit because a bunch of our family lives in Amherst and all the storms were headed that way or some shit. The video of it raging down the river is nuts though...

Yeah, you could certainly say that. I've never ran for my life and cowered in a basement before, so cheers to new experiences I guess.

Where I live was thankfully ok, but this is only a few streets away... We got lucky!

Yes, Walt made me laugh when I didn't think that was possible. I had to high-five the guy. It made me think of this...
