Tornados In Erie?

Picture this:

Isaac is playing in the back yard on the deck in the rain when he hears the neighbor say "hey, did you see that? I think it's a funnel cloud!" Now for those of you who know Isaac you know that his little bum went absolutely numb. He LOVES tornadoes and pretty much ANY natural disaster.

In the meantime I am in the bathroom getting ready for work and David comes in and gives me a kiss saying "If we aren't back by the time you go to work have a good time we love you." I asked him where we was going and he said that the neighbor told him there was a funnel cloud and they were going to go see it. So he jumped in the car with the kids, picked up the next-door neighbor and took off to see the tornado.

Just before they left the power went out and I guess it was out for over an hour or so. When I got in the truck to head to work I caught the end of a tornado warning telling people to take precautions. People were pulled over left and right on the roads with their cameras and cell phones out taking pictures. This guy at work got an AWESOME picture. Here is one that a friend had, one that our neighbor took, and a video clip of my amateur storm chaser.

Yesterday we had another tornado warning for clouds that were forming right over us in Erie.

We never thought we'd see a single tornado let alone have all this happen in a couple days! It's been pretty cool, just ask Isaac!
