Default Dodged a Bullet Last Night

On Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:09:53 -0700 (PDT), the infamous GarageWoodworks
scrawled the following:

From the damage I estimate an F2-F3 tonado 2-3 miles from my home. A
total of 8 touched down in High Point last night.

Scary stuff.

Yes, scary stuff. That 5th pic, with the huge rootball exposed from
the blown-over tree reminds me of Little Rock, AR when I was a kid. I
never saw a tornado, but the huge thunderstorms (gorgeous things, the
only thing I miss from there) would uproot the big trees lining the
streets there.

Congrats on the luck of dodging that tornado, Brian.
