Interesting way to wake up
So I am laying in bed, asleep, and cidp24a came in saying "Wake up and get some clothes on, we are in a tornado". Well I say to myself "naa, its just bad weather". I went to the door and I could hear the roar as it passed within about 1/4 mi from my house. No damage at my place but the rest of the city got the crap knocked out of it.

Wow, I'm glad that you're both okay.
Bet you won't be quite so cavalier about it the next time she says that, will you?

No kidding...we got your sloppy seconds here in central AL. Two separate waves of tornadoes.

WTF????
and i thought I was a shit magnet LOLhttp://www.allpoetry.com/Grunts%20Girl
We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion

Glad you're okay.
And it's good to know you have a caring spouse. I would only give 50/50 odds that my wife wouldn't just head for the basement and "forget" to wake me up.
At the very least, she'd take care of the horses first. But, then again, I'm comfortable with where I fall in her scale of importance.

One of our guys had all of his neighbors houses messed, it skipped his, up but I did not know anyone personally that lost anything.
There were quite a few injuries during the storm and then during the cleanup. No actual word yet on whether it was an actual tornado or straight line winds but whatever it was, it was bad.*************************"It wouldn't take much for me to up and run...to another life somewhere in the sun."*************************"There's something inherently wrong with having to put on a bullet-proof vest and a gun to go to work."-(An old friend)

Like you said - wind tore stuff up, sounded like a freight train, trees bent to the ground, that's a tornado. cidp24a said she saw swirling debris right before she woke me.
