Fathers Day, the tornado of 2010

Fathers day started out really nice. We just spent the day together, did a little shopping for food and such and then Scott was playing witht he boys when this storm moved in. The first part of it was just a normal flat gray cloud and a little movement in the center. When I went back outside I could see a lot more movement and the center was forming.
This picture is several minutes into the storm, but this is when the worry and questions started. All of our neighbors were in the street doing the same as us, watching and wondering. We all talked and made comments. But it was crazy to be standing and watching this storm come in

This touched down about 2.5 miles by the way the bird flys from our house. I just stood and watched wondering and hoping no one was being hurt while we were watching and taking pictures. I have never seen anythign like this even when I lived in Florida during huricane season. I would take a good old fashion Montana blizzard over this any day!!

I have many more pictures of the entire time, and it took about 40 minutes start to finish. Zane stood in the window watching us and Tyson slept. So I can alway remind him the he can sleep thru anything including a tornado.

During the storm we had a little rain, little wind, and some hail. It got about the size of large marbles. But a few fell that were flat and round, hard to explain, and if I find a picture of them, I will get it posted!
