Tornado in Kokomo

[1775usmarine]

Read Pence came back from campaigning to see the damage and make sure Kokomo and the surrounding areas get the help they need. I wonder if Obama has been to LA yet?

maybe to get a quick 9 in... he's working on his putt's... his long game has already been established.

So you were texting me about a K 22 DURING a tornado?????

Respect...

Ummm, texting right before yoga, but I was in Lafayette, not Kokomo.

I was heading to Logansport from Indy. I had several warnings pop up on my cell phones and called home for the wife to check radar. I told her I could see funny looking clouds to the left. She said there's a tornado just North of 31 & 931. Where are you? I said just North of 31 & 931.

Here comes the boom!

That house you turned around in at the four-way stop is about 1/4-mile from my house. What time was that video taken?

Kokomo Starbucks

The singer of a band I quite like was working there when the tornado hit. He posted on Facebook that they all ran into the restroom and the building collapsed around them. Crazy stuff.

His band (no swearing in this one that I noticed ):

[DoggyDaddy]

Have any of you guys started looting now that we can rationalize it as we have had a weather disaster?

I forgot to loot, but I did pick up an empty Red Bull can in front of the coffee shoppe this morning.

I was gonna loot but I had to work.

Aim phone at clouds with left hand sitting on widow sil of car. Keep driving. It's no harder than glancing at your speedometer.

This was the 1st tornado warning so was ~3:30pm.

I didn't see any sharks in this one.

Best of luck...According to the Twilight Zone and the KJV he's a liar....Point being...If he shows up...Don't believe a word he says...No matter how good he looks in yoga pants...

Good deal. Power trucks pulled up a few minutes ago.
Across street they had power yesterday.
Nothing damaged but fence (neighbor's trees smashed it, and my power wires).
Hopped right over us.
Brother in law lives in Cedarcrest, it's worse than the last tornado. His should be fixable. Guy behind him.....house leveled.

Facing west on boulevard. Dixon 1/4 north from where this picture was taken. If you were standing there and looked diagonally across the field to your right you could see my house....

Yeehaw....I was at Bullseye and watched it cross 31. Could see debris.
Knowing it went right over my house......and I wasn't there...........ya kinda blow it off (no pun intended).
That pic kinda makes me numb.

Picked up truck from auto repair. He by the mall. Building up, heavily damaged.
Owner of Coney Island said it looked like it was gonna nail her again, but veered a bit. Hit 1.5 blocks north of her.
Ran north side of Boulevard. Last time it was along Lincoln, had a slightly more northern angle IMHO.

Drone video...

Yep, at 2:43 you can see the new UAW building to the left of the screen that was destroyed last time (2013). Went a block further north. WEIRD.
At 4:00 you can see the area just north of that on 17th street behind the best buy/starbucks ...
The majority empty lots in that portion next to the trashed houses were destroyed houses from previous tornado.

Power restored at home last night around 8:00.... deep freeze didn't go above 20 so I should be good on that end.
I trashed a bunch of perishables from the fridge though.
