We don't have many of them up here in MN anymore but when I was 11 years old we had what was called The Super Storm. It thunderstormed for three days straight. I think there was something like 11 tornados and over 30 funnel clouds.
It rained so much that peoples basements were flooding and they were being told that there were funnel clouds and to go to their basement but they couldn't. I don't remember how many people died but some drowned and some were killed by debris.
We lived in a trailer back then and were driving to my aunts when I looked up above the lake by where she lived and saw three funnel clouds forming from one giant cloud. It was gnarly but I was scared and started to cry.
A few years back I went to Missouri to visit a friend and saw a tornado that looked like a huge black wall far off in the distance. We booked it to his house and got there to the basement...thank gawd! It didn't pass thru his town but we hung out there just in case.
I am glad you and your family are all ok. Just so's ya know...I'd grab the memory cards too. Thats alot of work to lose.
