Tornado went through Wilmington, Ohio, I heard.
I had an F-4 go right past my place in '02. Watched it touch down about 1/2 mile behind me; blow up a mobile home (nothing left but the twisted frame), then turn and run down the road towards me. Took off running across the field to my uncle's house. Stood out in his yard and watched it pass within 200 yards of everything I own in this world. Then it disappeared over a hill, but we could see barn roofs and all kinds of stuff floating up above the trees. Looked just like something out of 'The Wizard of Oz".
Fascinatingly frightening. Really would rather not see one again, thank you very much.
