Night before last had a Front coming through.

I was watching Radar main part of the Front was going North of us. I’m thinking the bad missed our area.

Then there was this one straggler cell. I dismissed it right off the bat.

NWS is saying it is bad. ????? I’m thinking this. Tornado came that didn’t do much damage. Then the hail, 3 inch hail. One of the guys at work had estimate done $10,000.

My wife said at least a thousand Houses got hit . This isn’t including cars.

I have never seen hail so bad. It broke windows and just beat the something out of cars.

It went just South of us.

It depends where you have the photo, if on a Windows pc you can open it in something like Paint and "Save as" , try JPG . Mobile, depends if Android or Apple, if Android share it, pick email to yourself will give you a smaller version. Trouble is with mobiles these days they take high quality images that result in very large files!

I remember one time in a Closet Tornado took out a town.

Killed couple people before us, split went around us come back together and killed a guy just past us.

It was a F3 traveled on the ground 75 miles.

I was an 18 year old boy living in Georgia at the time but still remember well the horrific twister that hit Xenia,OH in 1974. 32 souls lost their life on that day.

I know when I was watching Radar at DHS seemed all the big atoms would bottleneck right there in corner of Oklahoma this is why Joplin got hit so hard with F5.
