fantastic_jackieDood! We're currently in the basement of our work building as a tornado from Saginaw heads straight for us!
It's all green outside... We got to end our customer conversations innediately and everything! :D
Yeah, I'm not worried. This is a very secure building and I think we'd need at least an F4 to pose a real threat to our safety. To my fellow Texan buddies -and visitors- STAY SAFE!
I'll update when it's over. :)
ETA: There seems to be conflicting information as to whether there actually is/was a tornado on the ground. In any case, we're still in a tornado warning. Tons of rotation and funnel clouds in North Texas atm, but it's difficult for them to decipher which. Also lots of hail. Golf ball and baseball sized is what they're calling it. Been pretty quiet from where I'm sitting in the basement.
ETA2: So everything "ended" about 45 minutes ago, but I couldn't connect to the internet at the time. Tornado warning finished without us getting hit, so that's a blessing. I don't think we got too much hail either.
Things aren't over yet, though. It's still storming pretty hard right now and I think there's another cell headed our way. Thanks for all the well wishes guys! I think the worst has passed!until tomorrow ;) (No, I don't know whether tomorrow's storms will be as severe. But it wouldn't surprise me!)

Date: 2011-05-25 02:21 am (UTC)We had a tornado warning over here in PA yesterday and there were a few tornadoes, and it got green here and I was like "hey, that's a sign of a tornado!" and then two people came into work and said we were under a tornado warning but I went on my phone, didn't see it so though they made it up. So then my coworkers mom told her to get home because we were in a tornado warning and I raced home in the rain/fog/deer all over the place/curvy roads, ran into the house and said 'Are we in something with a tornado warning?!" and my mom said we were but it expired an hour before and I started crying and shaking and hyperventilating because I had been so scared in the car on the 15 min ride home that I was gonna run into one. :P (luckily it's really hilly over here so when we get a tornado it only lasts for a very short time and they're normally F1's and the occasional F2 every couple of years)
Still, scary crap. STAY SAFE YOU! *SQUISH*
