That was one very brave woman!
So whats next? a tsunami? a star hitting earth?.. Should we blame it all on global warming or maybe gay marriage? (a.k.a. male with male marriage) You choose! Let your voice be heard loud and clear in the 9th Congressional District on Sep 13th!
i was there last night on the trhuway it was very grey and dark early afternoon but i did missed the tornado
I was there too, travelling back from Canada to NY. It was pouring so hard you couldn’t see even an inch. The lightening was so strong and so close and there were such strong winds. It was pretty scary.
The video should be edited. Only the last 2 min or so have anything worth seeing.
