From the damage I estimate an F2-F3 tornado 2-3 miles from my home. A

Two to three miles is just about the right distance...


Absolutely! It was the closest I've ever been to one. I should
correct my original post. A total of 8 touched down including the
surrounding areas.
....

Agreed...fortunately, the house/farmstead has never suffered more than a
very tiny one that moved one silo (rotated it on foundation about a
foot) but they've been all around over the years.

And, btw, the previous post only intended as comment on the new rating
system; any are big enough to not want to mess with and certainly if one
takes _your_ house it's entirely too big...

Son the elder is in Raleigh but didn't seem too bad there last night;
just some t-storms. Didn't hear of any injuries, fortunately???

Season is just 'round the corner for us'ns...first thunder of spring
night before last (not counting the thunder snow of about a couple of
weeks earlier, anyway)...

Severe weather watcher annual training/refresher meetings/sessions
underway for storm spotters; think mine is next week---really ought to
double-check on that...
